How to change speed of the effect. I used a Tesseract efffect and its right as I need when it prerenders, as it is rendered it is to fast.. how to slow it down?

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Expand Distortion settings, then play around with noise speed and wind speed until you get it right

[@DirkHagen]

Thanks so much; great tutorial 🙏

I already did the saber tutorial 3 weeks ago ... this auto tracing and creating masks was new for me and i love it ... opens a whole new space for me; thx again!@@SmertimbaGraphics

[@DirkHagen]

This is soooo awesome ... it is what i`ve been looking for some days and couldn`t find it ... creating mask paths ... it really freaks me out ... i can trace colors in the workspace and create masks from that ... yes, yes, yes ... And one more time thank you ... have to dive in this universes now ... c u 🙏🙏🙏

[@christopherkerhin5140]

Great video . How would I keep just the stroke play like that better

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Thank you. I didn't get what you mean

[@christopherkerhin1438]

In the beginning, 3:25 when the saber effect hasnt yet filled the logo. How can you get that effect. Stroke animation

[@redtrian5653]

Hi) can you create logo animation with fire ( for example, like phoenix revive or something like that)?

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

H, sounds great, will look into that for future tutorials😊

[@redtrian5653]

@@SmertimbaGraphics thanks, i hope it will be soon 😊 and i can give you logo for this 😅

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Sure, send it to my email, I'll see if it would make a good fit

[@coldrak3r]

I'm trying to mask only a part of my Logo for the Saber Effect, however when I try to delete the masks I don't need and later apply the saber effect and choose to put layer masks as the core type, it doesn't really work and only shows half of my logo. Kind of hard to explain really, hope to get help anyways. Tutorial is on point though, great job!

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

You mean saber is applied but the rest of the logo is not visible after?

[@coldrak3r]

@@SmertimbaGraphics I can apply saber but it only shows the default effect and not masking it. And only a small part of my logo is visible yeah

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

In render settings set composite to on transparent instead of black

[@coldrak3r]

@@SmertimbaGraphics I will try once I get home, updating you on that then. Thank you!

[@juujidotexe]

Hello I'm getting issues with the saber mask part. after deleting the masks and applying the effects it doesn't catch the logo form, just it does if I keep the masks.

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Yeah, you need the masks to apply saber effect to, you don't need the keyframes of them though, that was the part I deleted I believe

[@waynecreativ]

Thanks for the great explanation. I downloaded the plugin, installed and applied it to a vector line and it comes with a black background. I have also tried it with text and still comes up with a black background. I'm not sure why. Can you help? Thank you.

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

in composite settings select transparent background

[@waynecreativ]

@@SmertimbaGraphics You’re a legend! Thanks so much mate.

[@cav6969]

can you I do this with text instead of png?

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Absolutely, it should be even easier with text

[@tetwaniescobar4158]

Awesome!!!!!!!!!

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Thanks!!

[@nihadgaming3002]

bro first of all thank you so much for the tutorial, but i have a question i dont want to make the neon goes back and forth i want it to go one shot so it doesnt make two thick layers of neon which does not make the name im creating clear, thanks in advance.

[@nihadgaming3002]

yo bro sorry for the rush, but i think i fixed it by reducing the core size, am i correct ?

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Yes, core size makes the lines thinner, if you don't want animation simply don't create keyframes and leave it as it is.

[@nihadgaming3002]

@@SmertimbaGraphics thanks bro

[@thomashendricks9774]

Can this be done on animation? Say if you track camera, create camera and null?

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Yes, it can

[@abdulrahman_abudayyeh]

Thanks for the great efforts. But how to remove the black background?

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Set composite settings to transparent, also lauer mode to screen

[@niamhheggarty3824]

When I downloaded the plugin and ran it to install, I couldn't find it in my After Effects. I'm very new to it so I'm sure there's something I'm doing wrong, any tips?

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Try manually placing the plugin file into plugins folder, it bugs out sometimes

[@micheleloprieno8236]

ciao ottimo video solo che non riesco a cambiare l immagine tramite il tuo progetto

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Thanks, you have to follow the steps for your particular logo, because the project file has an example shown in the tutorial, to create a different logo you need to do it from scratch

[@thewlegacy847]

i want to slowly freeze the saber movement (so that is stays at the same place) at almost the end , how do i do that?

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

You could extend the work area after the last keyframe so the animation would continue with saber in one place if that is what you meant

[@thewlegacy847]

@@SmertimbaGraphics yeah, how so?

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

How long is your timeline?

[@thewlegacy847]

@@SmertimbaGraphics about 4 seconds

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

And the last keyframes at 4 seconds right? If so, open composition settings and set duration to a higher value, then extend the layers till the end, don't move the keyframes though

[@daniell8051]

How can I loop this animation so the two colours endlessly loop and go around the logo?

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

You can add loopout expression to the properties

[@daniell8051]

@@SmertimbaGraphics Would I add these to the Mask Evolution or End Offset?

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Yes

[@shinomiya89]

Since a while, every time I try to Auto-trace something, no matter if Text or Logo, the result is never clean. It has always wobbles or something. It ruins everything. I didn't change anything to the standard settings, and can not fin any help online. Does anyone know why it happens?

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Play around with the auto trace settings while preview is on and see how the lines look, there's corner roundness or something like that you might need to tweak

[@ahm.7x]

Bro how do u put it over a video?

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Either add a project with a logo to another project and put it above or render as transparent quicktime(.mov)
