@@SurfacedStudio you're humble. Ive been on many after effects tutorials but i find that you deliver instructions in way that even complete beginners like myself can take on a task which is meant for intermediates or pros coupled with being likable.

[@wesburrough]

Love what you did on your keyboard in the beginning (the glitter effect rising from the keys). Do you have a tutorial for that?

[@SurfacedStudio]

Thank you! Unfortunately I don't specifically, but I have one in general talking about CC Particle World - which is the free After Effects effect I used to create that particle effect (... 'effect' overload) kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKOtnaeXptGBrqc

[@wesburrough]

@@SurfacedStudio thanks so much for the reply! I’ll play with this today! Been working on this effect for a bit to try and get something like you’ve done.

[@rebeccaambrose2083]

Really great tutorial, thanks!

[@SurfacedStudio]

Glad you liked it!

[@ch00mba]

Awesome tutorial as always! Can I use an existing logo instead of manually typing text? Thanks so much :)

[@SurfacedStudio]

Thank you :) And yes, you can easily swap the text our for anything else you want to use - just make sure it has a transparent background (and is pre-composed) so you can use it as a particle emitter layer

[@cepwin]

Thank you!!! Perfect tutorial for what I needed to do for my New Year greeting!! One n00b question, when I add the solid layer it hides everything as I'd expect but when I put the effect on that layer everything works (ie. my lower layers are no longer hidden) Is that because of the masking properties of the effect or am I missing something?? Thanks again for your super helpful tutorial!!

[@SurfacedStudio]

No worries, glad you found it useful! If you're new to AE I recommend going through my beginner series here: kzbin.info/aero/PLs2aOcA-EaLN1TwemqyxdjTg2puGtwvkQ The effect itself renders onto the layer, leaving the background transparent - but it all depends on the type of effect

[@aneelakhan9136]

Thanks a lot ! Its excellent Tutorial.

[@SurfacedStudio]

Glad to hear you enjoyed it!

[@JustDiscipline]

Any way you could make the program file available for download? I'll try and recreate this, but if I could just go in and change the text that would be amazing! Thanks!

[@kikichen8064]

Hi, is there a tutorial for the glitters flowing from your keyboard shows in the introduction?

[@SurfacedStudio]

Not specifically, but it's using the same effect with just some different parameters - e.g. negative gravity, different images for the particles, but pretty similar. I have a basic tutorial covering Particle World here that might help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKOtnaeXptGBrqc

[@RayStudio95]

Hi Tob! I really2 like this tutorial. Kinda bit long but detail was good. I have a request, can you make tutorial of how to make BULLET TRAIL like The Matrix movie? The part where Neo dodging gunned by agent. Can it be make in After Effect without plugin?

[@SurfacedStudio]

That's a great idea and I'll keep it in mind :) I can't promise what I might get around to, but I like gathering ideas for a rainy day. Definitely can be done without plugins - have a look at some of the inbuilt distortion effects (and using track mattes to control them)

[@RayStudio95]

@@SurfacedStudio niceeeee😎

[@sk-vfx]

Hey Tobias .... Can u elaborate what can be the different uses of mattes

[@SurfacedStudio]

Hi, I cover Track Mattes in my beginner tutorial series here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/emLYamudgs5-sKs

[@sevenstars7310]

happy new year sir tobias i want your old intro the 3x paint and the sound effects can i use it ?　do you have also of tutorial like that

[@SurfacedStudio]

Happy New Year to you too! Unfortunately I don't have a tutorial for my old intro - it was a lot of hand animated paint splatter elements I created in Photoshop :) It's not hard to create something similar, just needs a bit of patience. The flicker was done with the VideoCopilot 'Twitch' plugin

[@dizzard5297]

For the matte text part I'm a little confused over the birth rate of the particles and the death size of the particles, for some reason I have to ramp it up really high just to get a similar effect to what you're getting. (like a birth rate of 800 and a death size of 5 and even that still doesn't cover the entire area with white)

[@SurfacedStudio]

It might depend on the size of your composition and the size of your particles. Your settings may vary depending on the scale of everything you used :)

[@mixup2749]

Amazing

[@SurfacedStudio]

Glad you liked it :)

[@DiaborMagics]

Can this be done in premiere pro itself? I like to stick to one program as much as possible xD

[@SurfacedStudio]

Unfortunately not, at least not without plugins (e.g. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2eunZKeiNJ7brM). Premiere Pro doesn't really have much VFX/compositing/particle features since it's aimed at video editing. For all the sparkly stuff you'd likely do that in After Effects

[@CloudChords]

@Surfaced Studio Do you know how I can render my videos as a h.264 file in Media Encoder keeping it at a high quality still but it renders like 3 x faster? The rendering takes 15 hours and I want it to be like 5 hours.

[@SurfacedStudio]

It all depends on how many effects you have applied, the source footage you are using, the length of your composition and the specs of your computer. Reducing the output quality / resolution or using a simpler output format (like mp4) are the best ways to make the rendering process faster. There is no 'magic' fix unfortunately

[@CloudChords]

Surfaced Studio thank you

[@CloudChords]

Surfaced Studio Also, How can I get my computer to shut down automatically right after my rendering in complete. Maybe you can do a tutorial on that and code maybe it or something. 😊

[@mareziadowlen]

How do I do the star flick you just did 😭😭😭 I love your edits

[@SurfacedStudio]

Thank you :D You can animate the emitter for the star particles to move in sync with your hand movement and emit stars - then just make them grow really, really big until they block out the screen :D

Hi Tobias, or Walter, please i have a problem with my aftereffects, I edited a video my myself with glowing eyes, first i tracked my eyes, i placed a white solid on top and masked out a part to cover my eyes only, then pickwiped them the to tracked null, and etc.. After rendering and saving on to my desktop, the white solid i masked on to my eyes are a little bit off key, (it moves a little late and it looks totally fake) it follow the tracking perfectly on Ae but doesnt after saving. I matched the framerate of video to composition but still, pleeease help. 🙏🙏🙏 My pc specs. Ram 8gig, 2.4Ghz, dx 12, 64bit,

[@SurfacedStudio]

Does it look correct when you preview your video in AE? Make sure you preview at full resolution and you clear your cache to get an accurate preview :)

[@bradfab_fx]

@@SurfacedStudio Yes it plays correctly in Ae, i previewed It at full resolution and by clear cache do you mean, going to preferences to Empty Disk Cache? If it is, then i did that but still, i dont know what im doing wrong.. Please can i send you the footage through email🙏🙏🙏,

[@bradfab_fx]

@@SurfacedStudio please having this problem and i dont know what to do or how to go about it, i cant do any project because i can sit there all day editing then after all that stress all i get is some trash looking thing, it does preview correctly and nicely in Ae but after saving onto the desktop thats where i see that trash , tracked solid bouncing alil bit off its key frame, (like it doesnt move precisely with the key frame, it moves double or less, therefore you see it bouncing or playing off its keyframe, im helpless right now. 🙏

[@burning_ember]

How can i get the text without a background. please help me.

[@SurfacedStudio]

If you're talking about how to export the video with a transparent background, be sure the composition is transparent and you export with a video codec that has an alpha channel. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXLOaWV7mLqcZtE
