Film Learnin: The Flash Running After Effects Tutorial!

[@tskproductions2410]

Been looking for a tutorial for this effect for the LONGEST! Only you can make it so simple yet make it look so good, amazing!

[@FilmLearnin]

Thanks dude! As homer Simpson once said "If something is really hard, its probably not worth doing" He was right when it comes to tutorials, if its all long and has loads of steps, who the hell is ever going to do it?

[@FilmLearnin]

Guys, check out our latest Reverse Flash effect here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2rIg5iDf9d9ZtE

[@ASKFORMORE]

This epic video was the foundation for so many Flash tutorials and strike packs Thanks Grant

[@ArchingRock]

I never use after effects even actually but watching this and reverse flash tutorial is really cool to see :D

[@FocaoNexus]

You are a god! Thank you for providing their knowledge for free! Sorry for my bad English, I only speak Portuguese , I'm from Brazil . I'm translating this text by " Google Translate " . Again , thank you! Like , Fav and Share !

[@FilmLearnin]

Zach Yusaf an RAR file is the same as a zip file, you have to extract the contents first. Download winRAR or its equivilent on Mac :)

[@sylohfn]

hi ok so I looked up the flash running up a wall and I found the episode when flash runs up a wall and the streak behind him is not really red and Yellow it's only gold color and the red part is like a red blur that follows his whole body and there are lots of lightning when he is running

[@FilmLearnin]

What's your question? I'm lost!

[@TheDIYMaster]

can you check out my channel I did a vfx vid pretty short but cool of itachi's sharengan

[@jimrabbit2538]

+lonearcherfilms you cant do with windows?

[@FilmLearnin]

huh?

[@Invictusinferno]

Very awesome, Grant! as usual! You do a great job at making the normally daunting and intimidating task of visual effects seem less terrifying than it really is. It helps boost the Ego a tad.

[@FilmLearnin]

I do what I can my friend, this was one of the easier ones to explain too. That makes my job easier :)

[@SoooMungry]

This is awesome! Quick question, if I only have one person playing two roles in my video can I just mask around the person doing the running and then add the effects there? And then afterwards have a separate layer under that one with the same camera scene setup?

[@FilmLearnin]

+Sooo Mungry That would work just fine I think!

[@fazalbinmahmood6907]

Oollloo

[@suongtv5866]

U should need a green screen in studio.

[@StraightUpBeats]

I declare you the greatest person in the world

[@FilmLearnin]

+Krish Shank Nope, its all you!

[@BigNasAreas]

Perfect tutorial, thanks from Brazil hehe

[@FilmLearnin]

+controleconcentrado You're welcome :)

[@TheAlexvideo]

I've been watching your videos for a couple of months now (Going back to old videos aswell) And I decided to have a go at making one, I chose this and a couple other Flash ones without knowing anything about Adobe effects, It took a couple hours for me but it was worth it because I love it!

[@FilmLearnin]

Glad to hear it, it's a lot of fun once you get the hang of it!

[@TheAlexvideo]

lonearcherfilms Me and my friends are making a small Flash movie using your effects (Firestorm, Vibe, Flash etc) I can't wait to edit it!

[@afrodzack8065]

who else wants him to do the flash in the justice league trailer effect?

[@magnusvfx]

OMG!!!!!!.. tha's cool dude.. really awesome tutorials.. I am waiting more from you!!

[@KapeeshPC]

What about when Flash runs away from the camera for a long time? I want the lightning to be long, but it doesn't look natural because it's the same size while he is getting away from the camera, it should get smaller, but it remains the same. How can I make the lightning shorter/smaller when Flash is far, but bigger when lightning is closer to the camera? BTW I'm talking about one frame where the lightning is long. Multiple frames.. yeah. Just change the size every frame. But one frame and a long lightning won't do. I'm not sure if you got it.

[@FilmLearnin]

***** If you want the lightning to get smaller as you run away from camera for a long time, you can either animate the scale, or make the lighting comp 3D and animate the Z position. Animating the opacity of the lighting will also help thin it out a little when its from a distance :)

[@amagicman]

Really looks like flash

[@FilmLearnin]

MagicMan Productions thats the plan! ;)

[@MegaFamily147852]

can u teach us the thor hammer special effects

[@EpicAdrian3D]

Great tutorial Grant, I was wondering when we were gonna cover this super speed Flash thing, can't wait to see what's next.

[@FilmLearnin]

Thanks Epic Adrian 3D! I'm going to try and tackle another request in the same vein. Here's hoping I can pull it off, cuz it won't be easy!

[@DanieReal]

[@FilmLearnin]

JEDmovies 1 this month actually, I'm a bit late with the first episode due to it being a bitch to figure out! I'll hit up your effect at the start of April to give you plenty of time :)

[@FilmLearnin]

[@legendmvl3077]

the lightning does not not change when i adjust it in the end it is just in the same place for the entire clip

[@FilmLearnin]

LegendMvL - Where Destiny Happenes Did you hit the stopwatch on origin and direction, if you didn't it won't move.

[@TonyXOriginalz]

I truly enjoy your videos, thank you!

[@iswavy]

at 2:30 when you tell us to drag lighting to the other box, it wont let me do that. it says drag cancel on the top right

[@deathdeath912]

Awsome can't wait to use this

[@FilmLearnin]

Thanks for the request!

[@lip4159]

Great tutorial match that up with the eye lightning and you could be the flash, one question though what Audio did you use for your run?

[@camy1758]

I know I'm in 2021 but this was helpful for my KZbin upcoming movies

[@JEDmovies1]

[@stevewojcik7607]

Sweet! Great tutorial!

[@FilmLearnin]

[@nickstrands]

Hey Grant, big fan of your show ! watching every episode you post ... I have a little inquiry, saw that nowhere ... where are the sounds from ? Do you make them ?

[@Diamondprince]

With all the knowledge you have, you shoud make a movie

[@Kage_Furiku]

What about Clark Kent's super speed at full speed, or in "slow motion" on Smallville? :) btw, love the vids!!!

[@FilmLearnin]

+Shad0wFr34K_HD Never watched Smallville, Buffy was my wheelhouse back in the day.

[@TIMEFLIESWHENYOURHAVINGFUN]

Thanks man, your a legend!!

[@FilmLearnin]

Nah, you are!

[@KryptoniteBoy11]

Hi Can you make a tuto to show how to creat dust like when the flash is running ?

[@FilmLearnin]

Anthony Jones You can do it one of 2 ways: Use a dust element like I did here (easy) or create the dust using a plugin like Trapcode Particular.

[@hermanlai6035]

2:22 how do I turn the actor layer off? Do I just hit delete?The layer just seemed to disappear in the video, yet when i press the eye button(the hide layer one),it is still there. Because when I hit delete the lightning just doesn't move. Also, I am unable to drag the comps (yellow and red lightning ) on to the main timeline (what you did in 2:31)

[@amirul2596]

Hi can you make a tutorial on how to create a ghostly smoke effect like in crimson peak? and id like to thank you for the great tutorials!

[@daylamphim5359]

[@alifadlallah8936]

[@Unbekannt089]

not a app, a software, after effects

[@HoPeKasjo]

lonearcherfilms Is there anyway of duplication the yellow lightning strike so there could be two yellow lightning stikes on each shoulder? Please respond :)

[@FilmLearnin]

TheMaskedFreak Totally! just duplicate the yellow lightning comp and animate another lightning pass on the other shoulder :)

[@UltraAssassin64]

Hey one more request, is it possible for you to do the whole slo mo thing in where the flash moves normally as everything stands still? If you need a reference, there should be one tiny part that happens in the first episode

[@FilmLearnin]

UltraAssassin64 I'll add that one too the list bud!

[@UltraAssassin64]

Ok then, thanks (btw of the flash fx work with after effects cc, I should be able to make some of the running fx)

[@UltraAssassin64]

[@AWRShorts]

hey grant, sorry for the question but im still new to vfx. When shooting someone reacting on a separate plate, how would you connect it to the flash running fx?

+AWRShorts shoot them seperately and mask them in, just mask sure your actor isn't standing near the path of your flash actor.

[@LegendaryPanda27]

Can you do a flash effects on running up the wall

[@FilmLearnin]

+shyheim campbell I'll be tackling that nest season I think :)

[@TheDerpyZ]

every time i try to move the lightning with my character the lightning stays in one place the whole time

[@FilmLearnin]

+TheDerpyZ That's because you haven't hit the stopwatch on origin and direction, gotta follow ALL the steps.

[@TheDerpyZ]
