TUTORIAL #5 PART 1/2: Page tear / Paper Rip effect in After Effects

[@Matt.2024]

I'm always on the look out for good assets and usually most that I find through KZbin are crap but that guy you mentioned has some really nice stuff that I'm now browsing and potentially buying.

Ah pero bancame la mecha!! Este tipo es un capo!!!! DONDE ESTUVISTE TODA MI VIDA!!!?? Gracias. Gracias gracias. no solo por e tutorial, sino por todas las microtecnicas que enseñas aca... voy a ver as videos tuyos

[@gareso]

Thanks a lot Tomas! I'm glad you found it helpful. That's the great thing about these tutorials. Even if you are not actually planning to tear a paper, you'll learn lots of nice techniques that you can apply elsewhere :)

Thanks for your support Cedric! I've been doing that for a while now :) Just trying to learn a little bit every day... and trying to be patient 😅

😅 thanks!

[@dominikmoravcik1896]

Good tutorial, but I personally really hate, when there some part of the video speeded up so you cannot catch on.

[@gareso]

Thanks for the comment Dominik! I usually speed up the video when I'm repeating something that has been previously explained. But I'll keep that in mind for the next ones. Cheers!

[@Snakebite126]

Thank you! This was a big help

[@SolBarqui]

Is there a way to change the composition to 1080x1920 without having to change the whole project? thanks!

[@ISsantos0]

The best videos, always! Love the final look!

[@gareso]

Thanks man! The great thing about this technique is that you can experiment with other textures to create other looks very quickly :)

[@storytellerzzz]

Thanks! Really helpful, I'm using this a lot! I have just one question. I think that piece that's been torn off should have those paper edges texture too. Any ideas on how to fix that? Thanks.

[@ثلاجاتمستعملة]

Miss you dude

So many things to do 😅 I'm trying to find more time to release content here more often :)

Fantastic Bro, thanks for this !! I am using on Client Project now for Transition

[@matheusuchoa5158]

and if i want to make the tear effect happens on a "chroma Key" ? like when the part of the video is beign tear to real info underneath ?? im having i time here trying to figure this out

[@alexreid9441]

So helpful for learning general principles as well as this specific technique, thanks!!!

[@gareso]

Thanks! Make sure you watch part 2 as well! Some great tips in there too :)

[@OnePeacePoetry]

Hello! I was able to get the effect to work but I noticed when I try to keyframe on the "null" object, all of the underlying source/layers don't play for more than 1 frame. How do I fix this so that the entire effects play for multiple frames?

[@OnePeacePoetry]

Nevermind. I figured out that I imported the paper tearing asset as a PNG sequence instead of strictly PNG. Switching this fixed it!

[@pepikokab2044]

Can you replace the A Layer with a video? as if trying to tear a video?

[@stevemilne9306]

This is superb. Excellent adjustable process.

[@gareso]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked! Wait for part 2, there are some other tips to make it even more flexible :)

[@rankgaming3514]

no project file. where?

[@DaianaSu]

I have a question, what can I do if I want the white part of the ripped paper in another color? Thank you! This is an amazing video!

[@gareso]

That's a tricky one 😁 My approach would probably be to generate a matte for the ripped part and apply a tint effect to it as an adjustment layer. I need to try to see if that works though. I'll do that as soon as I find the time ;)

[@DaianaSu]

@@gareso Ok, I’ll try, thank you!

[@puyakhalili]

Thank 🙏🏼 great tips!

[@nickdambrosia2304]

Question, Rather than use compound arithmetic and setting that effect to screen, would setting the blending mode of the entire layer to screen not work? Otherwise, great tutorial. Love how you make use of key AE principals to create this page turn effect.

[@gareso]

The Compound Arithmetic effect is getting the data from a different layer, not the layer itself. So you can't just change the entire layer to screen to make this technique work ;)

[@knast7093]

Awesome tutorial! I have a question regarding the CC-glass effect. In my comp it says that the CC-glass only works on 16-bit color depth and the 'poster-texture' provided from the assets seem to be higher than that. So I get an error message. Should I just ignore this message? Once again thank you so much for this upload.

[@reljagajic]

well, this does not work on my AE, rip

[@gareso]

Hi Relja, what's your AE?

[@rachaelise]

Great tutorial! If I have images transitioning instead of source text, how do I easily swap out the images with all of the setup?

[@gareso]

You can change pretty much anything with this technique. For transitioning images you could drop all the images you want on the main comp and control the opacity through the essential graphics panel for each instance.

This Is Brilliant ♥️♥️

[@ponjonelfenben3675]

Hi! Great tutorial. My render fails after 1 second. Tried multiple different output formats. Any idea?

[@gareso]

Hi! Did you get any message saying why it failed? Try identifying the frame it crashes and see what's happening on that frame to try to debug it. If you can't find the reason, maybe send me the file and I'll have a quick look ;)

[@askhat.production]

thank you so much 😊

[@fabrizioonori8479]

Amazing tutorial. Only one concern. my back page seems to be "transparent" and I can't undersrand where the settings could have gone wrong? Any idea anyone?

[@mariyas.3304]

If i understand your question right, this just happened to me too. The way I fixed it was based on how the gareso changed the render settings of the back page. Go to the back page comp and look at the CC page turn effect, go to the "back opacity" option. If your back page is transparent this probably isn't set to 100 (mine was automatically at 85). At this point, it's probably red and refuses to be changed since we copied all relative links for this effect a couple steps ago. Toggle down the arrow next to 'back opacity' and you'll see a blue equal sign, little graph, pick whip, etc. Click on the equal sign to unlink this specific parameter and voila, you can adjust the opacity without messing with the rest of the effect. Hope that helps!

[@fabrizioonori8479]

@@mariyas.3304 thanks for the tip (it w0uld have been the same like for the passage of the Render tho)! Eventually when I noticed the opacity set on red I just alt-clicked on the clock of the opacity setting and re-established the opacity to 100%. Way faster then the equal but pretty the same thing.

[@gareso]

Great! thanks for the explanation Mariya! I'm glad Fabrizio found a solution as well :)

[@durratulaishah3703]

I have a question Is plugin good for motion graphics? It's not cheating??

[@gareso]

Hi Durratul! I don't think anything is "cheating" if it gets the job done. In the end we are here to solve communication problems, not look cool for the sake of looking cool. However, if you tend to rely to much on plugins, you'll probably grow dependent on them and miss many learning opportunities. Also, some plugins tend to be very "identifiable" and make your work look less professional, less original and "cheap" to the eyes of fellow artists. I tend to use mostly productivity plugins (plugins that make some tasks easier, rather than creating a visual). That's not to say never use them, but try not to rely too much on plugins and choose wisely if you need to.

The next one will be a workflow :) well, after the second part of this tutorial 😁

[@elchattt]

Hi Gareso, I loved this technique. I only have one doubt. I replaced the letter A with a video, so that at a certain moment it is torn. My problem is that the part that is going to tear looks a little darker in color. If I add a levels the effect no longer works correctly. How can I make the color the same?

[@elchattt]

I finally found the solution. In the parameters of the Compound Arithmetic effect I found that the "Blend with original" parameter was set to 0%. What I did was to create some keyframes to blend the image and just before it ripped I set it to 0%. I hope if this happens to anyone, this can help you.

[@psalm8453]

Too good.

[@gareso]

Thanks!

[@T_Armstrong]

Hey dude, Another great tutorial! keep up the awesome work. Little off topic: last year I got semplice based on your recommendation :) the only downside I have found is the lack of support for json or lottie files. Have you found any workarounds for that? They do allow json code input for a logo in the header, but thats all.

[@gareso]

I love Semplice :) but yes, they also have their limitations. Have you tried contacting the support? I know there's a lot of documentation online on some "hacks". But I think the support will tell you if it can be done or not.
