Thank you so much for this! The tutorials I've watched never mentioned the precomposing for the pinning to work properly--you're heavensent thank you!

[@toepyaesone6177]

Sir I love your tutorials.

[@OliverRandorff]

Much appreciated!

I would add and opacity gradient

[@OliverRandorff]

You can add a mask, cut off one edge and apply feather. That should work

[@Da9LGaragebandBeatz]

The hole looked kinda weird at the end, but looks nice though

[@hari1500]

Why did you use precompose to the smoke layer to pin it on bottom edge

[@OliverRandorff]

Because that way you can pin it to the bottom, precompose it and then move it (while it’s still pinned to the bottom of the precomp)

How can i do a loop of this smoke effect ? something like a 5 second loop animation without gap ?

[@OliverRandorff]

Pretty sure that would involve some expressions, but I’m not quite sure to be honest

[@shehbazkhan1856]

[@OliverRandorff]

shehbaz khan Thank you! Might look into that
