Awesome Tutorial - To ADD Color to it, it is simple. Create a New Solid (right click-new solid) and cover the smoke + pick the color you wish. Then change the Opacity to something like 30% - you can always add more having it travel through different colors etc.

or u can just add tint

Great tutorial! Holds up in 2023 and is certainly helpful for any smoke effect needs! I personally am using this for my stinger transition on my twitch streams. Works excellently!

[@ahoodsaid8695]

The explanation was excellent, with distinction. It's the first time I've followed steps from an After Effects tutorial on KZbin and succeeded on the first try. I understood it and was able to apply the steps in a way that I want.

[@envatotuts]

You're very welcome!

[@mentalost]

Thanks a lot! it works [value[0]+time*100,value[1]-time*20]

5 years later and this tutorial is EXCELLENT!🔥🔥🔥

[@Missi0n141]

Correct me if i'm wrong, but It's not looping, is it?

[@Pop8Tart]

Hi guys. Is there a way to loop this whole animation to make it endless smoke generator? Also is there a way to add color to that effect?

[@aboy7956]

Thank you so much!!! You explained it very friendly, slowly and informatively. It was very helpful! Thank you!

[@tmstudiotv]

Great, thank you. Is it simple to make it loopable?

[@crusadervfx]

You can adjust the time of the layer to the end of the evolution and then duplicate the layer and reverse it then finally put it after the first solid

[@natalielomske]

How do you adjust the speed of the smoke? Is that the evolution number or the offset turbulence?

@@josnibelanger3338 Same question, 1 year and 3 months later :(

[@Unearthlywhales]

@@troofytray666 If you still want it: Make sure that in the Evolution options Cycle evolution is ticked, and the expression on evolution should resemble something like this: time*(360/5). The 360/5 is based on making sure that the evolution "rotates" a full rotation, the 5 (in my case) is half my composition's time (which is 10 seconds) then it loops perfectly for me.

[@himangshulahkar587]

@@Unearthlywhales It works for the Evolution bur Offset Turbulence still ain't looping smoothly, any solution for that?

How do you slow the flow down?

[@bigkidcircus1825]

Hi, I have a question. I did this and it was great! so thank you. however, I then went to add a video and the smoke effect layer slowed down the video. any chance you know why this is and how I can have the smoke without slowing down the actual video behind it???? thank you!!!

[@annaohagan4886]

This happened to me too! It's just slow because you've added in another effect (I think) It shouldn't slow down the actual video once it's been rendered

[@vaneses240]

Try render first smoke and then add it to new composition
