Procedural Ripped Paper Effect | After Effects Tutorial

In this video I show you how to get a procedural ripped paper effect, where once you’ve set it up all you need to do is drop in your footage or still images (or text. Or shapes layers. You get the idea) and it outputs a ripped paper effect.
This torn paper look works really well with collage style animation.

Hey, although I'm a motion designer with almost 8 yrs of experience in that field, I've just stumbled upon your channel and immediately fell in love with it. You're awesome, thank you so much for your hard work!

[@TheVideoShopLondon]

Thank you! Really appreciate that

[@TheVideoShopLondon]

Thank you! That's the fun part for me

[@shahgames9219]

The tutorial that I needed

[@cygs26]

I have seen a lot of tutorials and no to disrespect the other creatives whos videos I love, I must say your videos compelled me strongly to leave a message because I just loveeee how you explained every single part of the video, it was clear, fluid, and so easy. I have seen a lot of videos and your moved me enough to take 5 mins of my time to write down what an amazing job ur doing.

[@TheVideoShopLondon]

I don't mind you dissing other youtubers. NAME THEM, NAME THEM. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Really makes it worthwhile knowing people get something out of these videos : )

[@jacquelineluevano1394]

Thank you so much!! You're currently saving my grade in motion design as well as my sanity

[@TheVideoShopLondon]

It sounds like your grade will be better than mine if I'd done a course in motion design. Good luck!

[@simeon_vkv]

what the actual... Thank you youtube lord that showed me this amazing chanel + long play.. crazy good

[@TheVideoShopLondon]

Thank the youtube lord for bringing YOU to my channels. Thanks for watching

[@AysenKocakabak]

thank you for the tutorial, I have done everything as you told. Thank you for caring perfection.

[@TheVideoShopLondon]

Very glad to hear that : )

[@AysenKocakabak]

@@TheVideoShopLondon how can I make that shadows are following exactly. I animated the subject but shadow follows them very dealyed. I played with some numbers in timing in turbulant displace but that does not exactly works

[@sagosi]

this is very helpful, thanks alot

[@TheVideoShopLondon]

My pleasure!

[@zikkyherman9183]

thank you

[@goazu]

nice one mate! Loads of precomps!

[@TheVideoShopLondon]

Haha I DO love precomps

[@goazu]

@@TheVideoShopLondon I know, you are well known for that, at least this time you do not have just one DVD BTN design after 20 pre comps :P

[@ramala2581]

Спасибо за ролик, очень полезно.

[@Pixelwelder]

Super good ;)

[@TheVideoShopLondon]

Thanks buddy

[@doodlve]

Its hard to understand everything in the first go. But I love your channel, you make some of the best tutorials on AE.

[@TheVideoShopLondon]

Thank you! I'm honestly making an effort to slow down my delivery as I've been told this before. Will try harder!

[@Abdo.A]

you rock! @@TheVideoShopLondon

[@TehDrasticGamer]

Amazing! Is another drag and drop AE Video coming?!!? Would love similar variation of this to spice things up. Great work!

[@TheVideoShopLondon]

Will definitely do more like this in future yes : )

[@fartsooup]

the reference to that 2000s converse ad with julian casablancas!!!!!

[@TheVideoShopLondon]

Deep cuts R US

[@emmanuelflantz9192]

Cheers legend! This is an incredible tutorial. 1 question though, how would you re use in the same project, As when I duplicate the whole group, they are still dependent on the originial comp 01 put image, not the Comp 01 in the new group. For example if i wanted to create a carrot and a cabbage, how would i do this as seperate comps?

[@DanielRodriguez-ro9su]

Great video, but how can I reuse the effect with different images without having to do it all over again?

[@jackrogers7775]

*Claps hands*

[@TheVideoShopLondon]

*Double thumbs up*

[@g.a.r3058]

if you'd want to make moving animation using this effect, do you have to go through to this tedious process for each frame, or is there a way to imply all effects from the first frame for each consequent ones?

[@TheVideoShopLondon]

Haha "tedious"? Well yes I suppose you're right. Did you watch the whole video? I thought it was obvious that once you've done the tedious part it outputs a completely different frame

[@DanielRodriguez-ro9su]

Amazin video! Beginner in AE, I do have a question, how do I reuse this effect with several images without having them replace each other? I have only figured out how to use the effect on one image only.

[@s.t.-growwithus9391]

Really saved me! Thank you

[@TheVideoShopLondon]

Great to hear!!

[@dark4san]

i dont have this buttons 4:19 (ae 2022)

[@TheVideoShopLondon]

You might need to update your After Effects. Pickwhip trackmatting is a fairly recent addition. You can still work around this in ae2022 but you don't have the option of matting multiple layers to a single layer (using trackmatting - there are other ways). Always more than one way to do things in AE

[@chewing]

Why do you have to cut to a movie clip every 2 seconds? It makes your videos hard to watch and distracting for anyone who actually wants to learn anything from them. It's like trying to teach when you're shining a light in someone's face.

[@TheVideoShopLondon]

I guess that's because I'm the one creating free tutorials and assets, so I can do whatever I damn well please

[@chewing]

@@TheVideoShopLondon Ouch, sorry for hurting your fragile ego with the tiniest smidge of constructive criticism anyone could ever muster...
