amazing work on this keep up

[@ShiveringCactus]

Thank you. These tutorials were loads of work, and I’m glad people are finding them useful.

[@GameOverMaharaj]

amazing video thanks for sharing the project

[@ShiveringCactus]

Khalnayak YT thank you, I always try to include the project file. Sometimes you just need a quick solution.

[@Supascury]

Great tutorial man! Really helpful series for learning VC Orb! :)

[@ShiveringCactus]

Thank you. Really pleased you like it and found it useful

[@mycamstudionetwork]

I've just completed the Sun tutorial and think your humour in this made me laugh. I was actually wondering what you meant by Corona before realising you were referring to the drink, not the virus or an effect in AE. Your tutorials are very easy to follow and there is nothing wrong with adding to someone else's suggestions for making anything. Thanks to you I've found free plug-ins on AK's website I didn't know were there, which have helped improve quite a few ideas I had in the pipeline for SFX in film making. There was literally one part of the Particle Flares I couldn't do due to being on CS6. However that didn't matter at all as the outcome of the effect was pretty much the same as the tutorial, so that's good. Onto the next tutorial now. :)

[@ShiveringCactus]

Thank you for all your kind words. I’m glad you like the jokes and more importantly the techniques shown.

[@WoolyCow]

lol, figured it out. BEST TUTORIAL EVER!!

[@ShiveringCactus]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed the tutorial.

[@claudiuoprea3336]

we have enough corona, i think we don't need anymore

[@ShiveringCactus]

I know, it’s all a bit triggering right now 🤣 hope you and yours are safe and well.

[@WoolyCow]

Great tutorial, im having trouble with the 'seamless sphere' part. Where would i download that?

[@ShiveringCactus]

Looks like Videocopilot might have moved that file, so I added a link in the video description to where you can download it from Dropbox

[@WoolyCow]

@@ShiveringCactus Thanks, i found it eventually :)

[@MrSeanicles]

Is there a way to make this sun less taxing in a composition? I find I have to export TIFF's just so my AE doesn't crash. Any advice would be sweet!

[@ShiveringCactus]

I’m guessing you’re having issues with your graphics card and Orb. Try swapping in CC Sphere instead. My guide to how to solve a failed render might help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGjbmXpnl7OFjLc

[@justinmachleit9242]

The video copilot website seems to be in need of an update, the download links for color vibrance and seamless are not working for me. I am opperating off of windows 10. Is anyone else experiencing this?

[@ShiveringCactus]

That's frustrating then. I've checked and updated the link to the Vibrance plugin, so hopefully that should work for you now. The Seamless Spherical project is the same link as before and seemed like it still downloaded for me. But try this link instead: www.dropbox.com/s/a3t7fah4s1kmzhp/seemless%20spherical.aep?dl=1 I've added it to my DropBox

[@drawnetwork]

great tute but- Seamless Sphere link missing on VC, pls help

[@ShiveringCactus]

Oh, I think Video Copilot have moved their project file. I've added this link to the description with a copy: www.dropbox.com/s/a3t7fah4s1kmzhp/seemless%20spherical.aep?dl=1

[@drawnetwork]

@@ShiveringCactus many thanks

[@sanjimanga8923]

color vibrance download doesn't work. I downloaded it from VC and when i opened the downloaded folder and opened it. it just opened Premiere pro and nothing else idk what to do

[@ShiveringCactus]

VC Vibrance comes as a AEX file, so you just need to copy it to C: (or whichever drive AE is on) \Programs\Adobe After Effects 2021\Support Files\Plug-ins\VideoCopilot

7:35 That "pick whip" icon doesn't appear next to the position key frames. How do I change that?

[@ShiveringCactus]

Hmm, hard to tell without seeing a screenshot of your comp. Is the parent column visible?

[@starwaveproductions982]

@@ShiveringCactus Hello! Thanks for getting back to me. Sorry I'm just now getting back to you. Yes the parent column is visible, and the pick whip is visible next to the layer. However the pick whip is not visible next to the values such as position, scale, rotation. That make sense? I know it's hard to help without screenshots.

[@ShiveringCactus]

StarWaveProductions hmmm. If you go to my channel’s About page, you can find my email address in the For Business button. Might be easier to solve the issue that way.

[@starwaveproductions982]

@@ShiveringCactus Sounds good. Much appreciated! I'll contact you soon.

[@rontheshooter7081]

saber and orb don't work anymore to download

[@ShiveringCactus]

The links still work for me. Could they be blocked by your firewall?

[@thegamingmotionartist07]

I just tested out the links and they still work.

[@100ksubscriberswithvideosc2]

Is it free to make it?

[@ShiveringCactus]

Yeah, everything included in the tutorial is free provided you already have Adobe After Effects

[@100ksubscriberswithvideosc2]

Ok thx

[@alexinthewall5604]

Nice video, but for me, that spinning circle is really distracting.

[@ShiveringCactus]

Thank you, and yeah I agree... this was one of my first tutorials and I dumped the circle and most magnification a few videos later.
