Create iPhone 12 Pro LiDAR Scanner LASER BEAMS | Advanced Light Rays Tutorial in After Effects 2020

In this After Effects tutorial I'm gonna recreate the iPhone 12 Pro LiDAR Scanner laser beams that I saw in Apple's Promo Video:
• Video
Which Plugins have I used? Videocopilot's Saber Plugin? Red Giant's Trapcope Particular & Form? Or even Cinema 4D?
Wrong :). No Plugins! Just built-in standard effects.
Here’s a hint. I used the card dance effect for the disintegration effect as well as CC Light Rays to enhance the scanlines.
And wow, Rotobrush 2.0 is totally amazing!
By the way I always try to create everthing without any plugins like in this video where I recreated the iPhone 12 Pro live wallpaper:
• This is iPhone 12 Pro:...
Enjoy watching!

😍Your method of recreating VFX in real-life footage without using external plugins, along with your iconic editing and detailed explanations, is EXTRAORDINARY! Please keep making more such tutorials using real-life scenarios in which we can feel like we are interacting with the effects 🔥

[@ritwiksondhi]

Thank you for this amazing tutorial. Using it for creating an area scanning effect.

[@AxelDesign]

Wow, this video took so much amazing production! Kudos to you sir!

[@inbetweensets]

dude, you are an incredible KZbinr. Never stop making tutorials! Inspiring

[@michaelobrien4723]

I am very impressed with your tutorials. You answered something I was trying to do totally different but it was what I needed to make the laser way more realistic in my video. Just so you know, You are the very first person I subscribed too in all the years I was on youtube for. Can you just keep letting us know all the steps you took to do the effects you are showing :)

[@VonKushmarck]

wow dude, you're awesome! i just downloaded adobe and looking forward to your vids

[@KanchuKa]

thank you so much

[@iQuatro]

Wow Michael. less than a minute into this video and youre already giving me all kinds of info I didnt even know I wanted. Thank you!!!

[@MichaelPonch]

Welcome 😎. I’m happy you learned something 😊

[@antoniopepe]

I seem to go back to the time of Andrew kramer when he always amazed me with brilliant use of vanilla AE tools without plugins. congrats. Keep doing 🤟🙏👏

Thank you

Thank you 😊. Hope u & your family are fine. Stay healthy

[@codydobie]

Your tutorial style is so funny, I like it

[@MichaelPonch]

Thank you. I hope wasn’t only funny but useful as well 😊

[@Studio23creation]

Thank you so much ! do you have any link to the laserbeam of your "heavy rendering" version ?

[@wenhuber]

Love you videos man!!! You’re going places. Excited to follow you on this journey:-)

[@MichaelPonch]

Thank you 😎. Are you from Germany? You seem to have a german last name 😀

[@wenhuber]

@@MichaelPonch Haha I’m not from Germany, but I was adopted into a family with the last name Huber😅

[@ILOVESAUDIARABIA]

Wow 🤩

[@TheArtofme]

Been looking for this for AGES! Thank you. I’m going to see if I can bring splines from C4D into ae (via a script) and then replicate this effect.

[@MichaelPonch]

You could animate the dashed lines directly in C4D. Maybe with a cloner + random effector. And then import the c4d file and do the rest im AE 😎

[@TheArtofme]

@@MichaelPonch interesting!! Thank you!

[@iMakeVideos_kz]

@@MichaelPonch Please make a tutorial if everything worked out!

[@Polarized_guy]

nice

[@motionlancer4351]

This is 1st time I've subscribed any channel. I had to do this because the artist said he don't use building plugin. As a animator and VFX leaner this is my basic and main rules to not use plugin as I believe everything is possible in after effect. I'm not saying using plugins in bad but I believe if I do this then I'll miss tons of process(how they works) forever. I believe to know how something is building is better than to do it by one click. By the way, I always spend time to learn as learning is my passion. So, this is my personal perception, hope anybody will not take my comments other way. Thanks

[@MichaelPonch]

Thank you for subscribing to my channel. You are absolutely right. And I don’t want my work look like “ah....he made it with Saber or that plugin”. I want my effects look individual.

[@Zeerialo]

Love it, also when is part 2 of the iPhone 12 pro wallpaper?

[@MichaelPonch]

Thank you 😊. Part 2 of the wallpaper video has less priority for me because I got insider information how the creators of the original wallpaper actually made it. And I want to try that technique first and talk about it in my video. And I’ll definitely give away the AE Project for all the patience 😊

[@Zeerialo]

@@MichaelPonch can't wait!

[@EdBelyavcev]

Hi! Thanks for the video! Also, what's the videos bg music in the intro?

[@MichaelPonch]

Thanks very much 😎. It’s “Never or Right Now” from ELFL. It’s a royalty free song from Epidemic Sound.

[@Studio23creation]

I'm on mac M1 max, and it is VERY HEAVY PROCESSING it. Like one frame at 1/4 res every 10seconds.

[@MichaelPonch]

Right. Absolutely heavy! I would prerender the shape layers first and put the effects afterwards.

[@Studio23creation]

@@MichaelPonch yes, that's what i'm going to do :p

[@icebearfav_]

can you do it a bit slower and show the setting bigger and clearer for student like me TT

[@MichaelPonch]

So sorry 😣. I rushed it through because it was meant to be an advanced one. But you can ask me which parts were too fast for you. Yeah, my recent tutorials are a bit bigger now 😎

[@linguinelabs]

Where's the advanced version?

[@amantv9326]

Amazing....this kind Hollywoodish scans can be done in ae...i thought no ae can't be that ahead...but i lost...I'm still on CS6 btw😂😂🙄🙄 no gpu,Intel core 2 duo,only render in 12 fps😂😂but still happy with what i create..

[@MichaelPonch]

Thank you :). You know, I did a couple of AE jobs for feature films. So no need for Nuke, Flame etc. :). CS6.....good old days.....but you can still make professional stuff with it. I don't even remember CS6 already had shape layers 😂

Sorry, I’ve come to watch your animation on Insta just now. Really impressive. Looks like rendered from Cinema4D 😊. Keep on doing stuff like this 👍🏻
