seeing my country flag was what hooked me! NZ!!

Can you please upload the project file somewhere so I can download it because it is not available in your description. Thanks.

[@MaxonRedgiant]

Project file is here now: maxonvfx.com/3wSszVu

[@genericapersona6521]

Easier to see with a higher res - like the radio waves plugin - thanks for all the details

[@cecile1643]

How does this work without the Mir effect ? Because I don't have it, I just want to apply the radio wave effect on one object but I really don't know how !

[@iamambit1ous802]

I open the project downloaded from the website and its just all grey or black? neither flags are showing and its just a grey solid on the MIR layer?

[@davychatillon6902]

Hi! Thank you very much for this tutorial! I tried to do it step by step (I'm a rookie beginner :p ) And my radio waves are pixelates! Do you have an explanation please! Thank you!

[@gtavonlineadventures]

I managed to follow everything up to the blurring of the waves. When I increased the blurriness, the actual waves on the flag became sort of pixelated, why is that?

[@NilsJohannesson]

Have you checked your Bit depth? AE standard bit depth is set to 8-bit. In the tutorial it is set to 16 bit which gives much more depth to color values. Look for 16 bpc in blue text just above the layers section.

AMAzing tutorial but, by the way why this video is in only 720p Quality

[@NowyKurs]

Would this plugin software work on its own or in Resolve?

[@HowToAnimateTutorial]

Wow, very cool, thanks for the tutorial 💕

[@Karabanka]

intro so quite, crank up the volume!

[@alejandroberrueta4874]

Cool in my company they bought Trapcode suite i usually just use Colorista, Looks, Particular, Denoiser, cool trick but i think its easier just do a flag in 3D and add wind, you may have way more control over the flag and cooler angles, i recently watched a video on Mir 3 which allow you to import 3D objects and add textures, shading and enviroment which is cool, but i you could import a OBJ sequence that would take Mir to another level as i could import 3D animations into after for better compositting, another thing is im trying to figure whats the limit in the textureand materials in Mir3 could you import Normal and Specular maps?

after effects error: MIR: OpenGL error: could not allocate texFBO (512 ( 25 :: 241 ) does anyone know how to solve this problem?

[@MaxonRedgiant]

If anyone knows how to solve this problem, it would be our support team. Please contact them at support.maxon.net Sorry you're experiencing this.

[@exitlabsco]

Amazing one

[@philliprichards1568]

I'm using Mir 3, id there a difference? I'm not getting anything near what you are coming out with, same settings. Also i have a lot of details such as points and lines where as in the tuturial you have none, it's just a clean wavy flag....I tried on my macbook and I can't even get this far.

[@MaxonRedgiant]

Hi there! You may be running into a known issue that we're releasing a maintenance update for later this week - although just to be sure, we recommend either reverting back to Mir version 3.0.3 or checking out the project file for the above tutorial which can be downloaded right here: redgiant.com/tutorial/episode-107-create-a-waving-flag/

[@magdaJ0]

make sure your comp is at 16bit... you will get lot of artifacts otherwise!

[@RoopWala-q9n]

unfortunately not working for me becoz ... it requires Effects LOOK, MIR, TRAPCODE isn't there

​@@MaxonRedgiant I have installed Maxon App versions 2025, 2024, and 2023, as well as various versions of the Trapcode Suite from version 17 to the latest. However, it still indicates that Mir 3 is missing, even though the other missing effect messages disappeared after installing the plugins. Could you please help? 🙏

[@MaxonRedgiant]

@@dastforush That sounds very unusual. Please create a support ticket at support.maxon.net/ so our team can look into the issue for you

[@jerryjpeg9716]

Hi, I cannot have a smooth render like you have. The Trapcode Mir 3 version gives me a "polygonal" render or at best an "aliasing" render and I can't do otherwise but asking for help here. Welcoming any help :(

[@MaxonRedgiant]

With the smooth setting, you should be able to achieve something that doesn't look faceted.

Great tutorial! But yeah, the first intro is loud AF :D

Mir does respond to cameras (and lights) in AE, yes.

This is not a tutorial. Using a black AE background for a black solid where a black mask is applied to, while Harry is mumbling and we're desperately trying to keep up his speed...uhm.. I understand that for a lot of people it was obvious,- but there are thousands who came here to learn and we ( I ) found this way too fast to call this a tutorial.

[@jerrypoint7802]

pause the video and learn... go back if you need. that's the right attitude.

[@FoeJred]

WTF is Mir??
