Rainbow Retro Title in After Effects | 70s & 80s vintage film text look

[@kthnxlucas]

did i just find the greatest AE channel? 🙏🏻

[@GrantMFletcher]

HUUUUUUGE call 😱 (thanks SO much)

[@jamz391]

Don’t mind me. Just marking stuff for reference 9:29 Glow 12:30 Blur

[@ParkerLink]

This is it. This is what I need

[@GrantMFletcher]

Really glad to hear it man. Trying a longer, looser format. Hope it helps!

[@oniriscope]

The retro/70’s aesthetic in your collaboration with Ezra Cohen is crazy good! It’s cool thing to find even more in depth content surrounding typefaces on your KZbin account.

[@GrantMFletcher]

That’s great to hear! I might just have to do some more of this stuff.

[@erikmattson8629]

Learned so much in just one tutorial, and I especially love the explanations of why the originals (the "real thing") looked the way they did. Very cool. Thank you so much, Grant.

[@GrantMFletcher]

Thanks!

[@JuanMilllion]

"Wow, that was a punch to the face." LOL Very good stuff man! Love your tutorials!

[@GrantMFletcher]

Thanks for the support! 👍

[@morganmravca]

This tutorial rocks for so many reasons. Your retro titles are perfect and your music choices are some of the only I've heard in tutorial videos that don't drive me insane. Also the tutorial itself is excellent. THANK YOU

[@GrantMFletcher]

Wow, thanks! My goal indeed is to not drive anyone insane :p

[@kimrandall73]

I found this tutorial just a few days after I created that rainbow effect in a MUCH more tedious way! Great stuff.

[@quincymiller782]

holy you are the greatest. This is perfect

[@GrantMFletcher]

Appreciate it 👍🏻

[@tacoshow7926]

Thank you so much for this! Nice to see some tutorials for authentic 70's motion graphics!!

[@GrantMFletcher]

You're welcome. Maybe I should do some more!

[@julialincoln-stefan1066]

I was looking for some inspiration for a new project. Funny, I never really used Colorama. Thanks you're sparking many ideas. Glad to give some good old AE effects a new chance.

[@GrantMFletcher]

I LOOOOOOOVE colorama. Only just scratching the surface of what it can do.

[@julialincoln-stefan1066]

@@GrantMFletcher I hope you keep us posted if you find more interesting use cases :)

[@finnmyles]

this was awesome. such a great tutorial and you explained everything really well. as somebody that has never used after effects before you made this very easy to follow along to.

[@GrantMFletcher]

That is SO good to hear! Considering a tutorial for AE beginners actually.

[@just.do.something]

Dude, not only some amazing content, but really appreciated your humor/personality! Thank you! Wasn't expecting that Jesus comment at the end, but thanks for that as well, i guess!

[@GrantMFletcher]

hahahah it came out of nowhere! keeping ya'll guessing :p

[@KyleOfTheBeard]

This is the PERFECT type of style I've been looking to play around with for my side channel. Can't wait for this bundle to come out so I can get started! Thanks so much for the tips and advice, Grant!

[@GrantMFletcher]

You won't have to wait long at all!

[@combusken4043]

Found my new favorite AE channel

[@GrantMFletcher]

Wow. Thank you! 🥺

[@stringercorrales6627]

I like wireframes and text outlined with white sparkles more.

[@MrMorgy-bl4pl]

LOVE it that you made this a tutorial! Thank you, Grant! This reminds me of the DVNO video by Justice!

[@GrantMFletcher]

As I read this I was listening to the new release from Gaspard Auge (half of Justice)! LOVE me some Justice and the DVNO video had a huge impact on my creative journey. 😍

[@FUGA5]

Man, you are awesome, dont stop making videos.

[@GrantMFletcher]

Imma try! 😜

[@rougz7832]

Insane tutorial man, this effect is really cool!

[@GrantMFletcher]

Glad you like it! Much more retro fun to come!

[@angelrattpack]

This would be awesome on davinci resolve, would definitely buy

[@literallyshane4306]

Bloody brilliant

[@GrantMFletcher]

Ha! Thanks man.

[@MsMarcelinjo]

at 1:13 on hover nothing is apearing to change the letter. where can i activate this?

[@MsMarcelinjo]

i found out why, you have to make sure the font is the pro version

[@GrantMFletcher]

Great insight! I didn't know that. Thanks!

[@samh8syou]

Curious to see if you'd make a tutorial on how to create the "Lipstick Revenge" title? I'd love to use it for a film I'm making, but being a broke student I unfortunately cannot afford to buy the Nostalgia 2 pack :(

[@craigrobinson99]

A Final Cut version would be awesome

[@dillionmuse]

As always you are amazing 👏🏻 one of my favorite AE tutorial makers

[@GrantMFletcher]

Thanks SO much man. Means a lot! 🥺

[@GrantMFletcher]

Ha! It was real big and then I chopped it off and now it’s coming back. It’s often pretty hard to manage though so I’ll probably chop it off again at some point 😒

[@HeavyReverb]

The tutorial I’ve been waiting for. 🙌

[@GrantMFletcher]

Heeeeeeeey! You da man already though! 😎

[@HoricHraje]

Hello, Grant, thank you for this awesome tutorial. I do wonder though, how did you get rid of the ugly pixels on the edges of your text after applying coloroma. It seems that your CC composite did the job and the ugly pixels disappear after that, but it doesn't work for me. Is there something I missed or a way to fix it?

[@nickshaw219]

Having the same problem

[@GrantMFletcher]

I didn't do anything extra that isn't in the tutorial... Could be my composition settings. Consider changing you color depth from 8bit to 16 or 16 to 32 and see if that helps?

[@Yoshiskyfan]

i'm having the same trouble right now, did anyone find a way to fix it?

[@madisonm290]

what helped me was adding a hue/saturation effect and turning down the brightness and saturation

[@EliseVivienneFashion]

wow! Just wow

[@GrantMFletcher]

My biggest fan even if you have no clue what I'm talking about :p

[@zackxmagz6343]

Great tutorial, just turned 18 and want to be a Christian creative. Learning after effects, and pretty good at premiere pro. Is finding work hard? Will it be a unreliable source of income if I pursue it?

[@GrantMFletcher]

If God tells you to do it then DO IT! Ask Him and you’ll never have to second guess your choices. There are lots of ways to get into the industry but none of them quick or easy: very possible though and lots of need for motion graphics and video👍🏻

[@pedrodionicio8478]

Have any good apps for iPhone familiar to this? It would help so much if you knew 🙁

[@ARBB1]

What's the song used in your advertisement? Also, great tutorial, thanks.

[@GrantMFletcher]

I know its from Artlist.io but from memory i don't know the exact track. :)

[@stevenortega8168]

Nostalgia 2 pack is amazing 🎉 Do you remember the name of the last song?

[@GrantMFletcher]

Sorry no. BUT I exclusively use Artlist for music and they have a “retro” section with some great tracks (where I would have found it).

[@ZackYouTube]

How do you make your intro sequence?

[@GrantMFletcher]

I'll add it to my list of future tutorials :)

[@ZackYouTube]

@@GrantMFletcher It's awesome

[@deadhuntsaiki8235]

What the name effect in your intro? Thank you

[@GrantMFletcher]

There is quite a lot of things going on it that one. I might have to make a whole tutorial on it :)

[@heymynameisharry]

have you done anymore film style fx while trying to account for yt compression? or compressed video in general

[@GrantMFletcher]

My best suggestion would be to use grain, either stock or an effect. Then export your final as Apple ProRes. Then re-encode that as H264, maxing out the “quality”. But yeah KZbin is absolutely going to compress the heck out of it.

[@heymynameisharry]

@@GrantMFletcher thank u!!

[@TriiangleJellyfiish]

Hi im using colorama hue cycle and the colors on my end aren’t transitioning as smooth as yours. How can i fix this?

[@GrantMFletcher]

🤔 It’s hard for me to tell what’s going wrong without a little more information. It could be the iterations between the dropshadows, it could be you are in 8bit instead of 16 or 32bit, it could be you are using too many colors in colorama or too many repetitions or haven’t got the “interpolate palette” checkbox checked. Any of those work?

[@TriiangleJellyfiish]

@@GrantMFletcher I'll try those out

[@JonathanBelle]

Oh wow and after I just bought the Nostalgia pack. Gotta say, you two did a really great job on that. I have a question tho, is it possible to have a list, or is there a list anywhere or what styles have the default fonts?

[@GrantMFletcher]

All of the fonts in the Nostalgia pack are available in the adobe subscription. Does that answer your question?

[@afqzain7276]

how to get slant text like that. i couldnt find it in my illustrator

[@GrantMFletcher]

Here is adobe's explination: helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/special-characters.html

[@Micoolaw]

I have this pack and haven't used it in a year. All of the title templates have these square color blocks on them. I think a preset might be missing. Do you know how to resolve?

[@GrantMFletcher]

So sorry to hear you haven't used these yet! I think what you are referring to is that you haven't relinked the stock footage, as in there are some footage files "offline". It's an extremely easy fix by in AE right-clicking the files in the assets folder, choose replace footage, find where you have put the footage on your machine. New version of the pack comes out today where I have replicated stock footage using AE effects so you don't have to relink anything.

[@Micoolaw]

@@GrantMFletcher now THAT's customer service!🙌Thank you for not only responding, but for solving my issue in a single response! Your willingness to help resolve my issue has made me consider purchasing from you again in the future👌Take care!

[@GrantMFletcher]

@@Micoolaw Oh absolutely man! Thanks so much for the kind response too.

[@HeavyReverb]

Yes!!!!

[@flavioabdoral7165]

magnific

[@GrantMFletcher]

merci!

[@joshwebb123]

Wish you didn't make that cut at 8:35, it seems more was done besides adding the extra drop shadow to make the colors blend better, but I'm not sure what was adjusted :/

[@GrantMFletcher]

Yeah this was an early tutorial. I know better now :P But honestly the only thing that changed, like I said, was the additional drop shadow and then adjusting all of the brightness values to divide them per how many drop shadows there are. Which is what I said earlier anyway. It's worth mentioning no one taught me this; I came up with this from experimentation. I'd highly recommend taking the time to try some stuff out so it looks the way you want it to. You could come up with something way cooler from those "happy accidents". :)

[@quickathletes]

damn, very good video!!

[@GrantMFletcher]

Thanks so much!

[@brunodomenico7476]

Hi Grant! The Nostalgia download page is not available. How can I get it? Thanks!

[@GrantMFletcher]

I'm revamping it: it's coming back real soon. I'll announce on the channel!

[@savageroyale7]

im stuck at the beginning. cant figure out how to get the settings up to change the opacity

[@GrantMFletcher]

Select a layer, hit "t" for transparency.

[@emilal]

Thanks! Might I add, the music is a little too loud.

[@GrantMFletcher]

Actually really good feedback. thanks!

ha. That is an extremely strong response for an After Effects tutorial.

[@dabudamba]

It looks amazing, great creation! Sadly, i did it step by step and the animation of the colors looks terrible. Didn't really work like it did for you.

[@GrantMFletcher]

Very interesting. Without a little more info I’m not sure why it would deviate. My best guess is one of the effects hasn’t updated well for the newer versions of AE? What does the issue look like?

[@carmenaureart]

Damn I was so going to buy Nostalgia and IT IS NOT AVAILABLE 😭

Makes me wanna cry too. But I'm working on version 2.0 every day so it shouldn't be long now. Stay tuned for an update!
