Im in After Effects 2021 and it seems they've removed the animation preset. Luckily after messing around, i got the same result. Open transform in the effects control for fractal noise and untick "Uniform Scaling" and scale height to 4500 (or around that number, whatever your liking is". Everything else is the same, you can copy from the video

Those who have CS6. Don't start with the brighter colours on top like he did. Put the bright colours down there because the snowflake effect can't go to negatives anymore. Once you apply the snowflake effect, just rotate the layer (look at the "Info" window to make sure that you made a neat 180 deg rotation.) Secondly, the effect controls for fractal noise is a single effect now! Meaning that you have to search for curtain to get what you need.(see other comments for mac) Hope it helped. great tutorial mate

Thank you so much for this tutorial! It really helped me in a school project. A tip for those using After Effects CS6, if you can't find the snow-effect mentioned in the tutorial(I couldn't find it. Only "snowfall"), you can apply CC Bubbles, change the shading type to "fade outwards", and take the size down, and play with the speed and wobble. It looks almost the same as snow. This effect goes upwards on its own, and therefore works great as an alternative to snow.

CC Bubbles doesn't blend though. Not even if you change the blending mode of the layer it's on.

Oddly enough, on CS6, some of the animation presets became their own "effects," in the sense that they can now be found in the effect list as opposed to attached to each individual effect. Neat!
@JeremiahPavkovich11 жыл бұрын
For those who have CS6: CC Snow is replaced with CC Snowfall and will not allow a negative number. You can achieve a very similar effect with "CC Particle Systems II". However, you must put the 4 color gradient on a different solid layer and place it behind the layer with "CC Particle System II". You will also need to adjust the settings of the particle system to match the snowfall above. The default looks like fireworks but keep tweeking it and it will match exactly as above.
@MissWebSlinger Жыл бұрын
With CS6 and up use CC Bubbles. In "Shading Type" change it to "Fade Outwards" to achieve the fuzzy bubble effect. Play with frequency and size until you have it to where you like it.

Keyframes are just points where the value of a property is stored. Creating keyframes at specific points is the mainstay of creating animated effects in AE. To enable keyframes, click on the tiny stopwatch button next to the value you're changing. Now, when you make a change to that value, it will be stored at that point on the timeline. Hope that makes sense. The important thing to remember is to click on the stopwatch first - if you miss that step, keyframes won't be created.

All current versions on After Effects can have plug-ins installed, but not all plug-ins are compatible with all versions of AE. The most important thing to be aware of is that plug-ins for the latest 64-bit versions of AE will not work with earlier 32-bit versions of AE.

Keyframes are only visible alongside the properties in the composition timeline - they won't show up when you create them in the effect controls panel. Just twirl down the effects properties of the layer you're working on in the composition panel and you'll find them - alternatively a really useful shortcut is to select the layer and hit 'u' This will show any keyframes for that layer.

I appreciate that zooming in isn't to everyone's taste, but it does allow the important details to be viewed at lower resolutions for low-bandwidth or mobile devices. Frankly, it would be a lot easier for me to produce these without the zoom, but I get a fairly large number of people saying that they like being able to see the details easily, so I'm not likely to change this style any time soon. Sorry.

Thanks for the tutorial - very helpful! But I still don't understand why people don't just tick off the "Inverted" box to invert a mask, as opposed to surfing through the dropdown box to find and select subtract (i.e. at 11:57, you can see the box to the right of the highlighted "Mask" text). I feel this saves time, even if only a second or two. Anyway, thanks again for this - might be using it in a project I'm planning for the summer!
