How to create:
First I created a 4500 x 3000, 300 dpi file.
With command or control I, I inverted the background making it black and added my text.
Then, I converted it to a Smart Object.
On the Smart Object I applied directional blur with an angle of 90 and a distance of 60.
Then I applied gaussian blur with a 15 pixel radius
Now, to make the distorted letters effect, I used liquify.
You can distort the text however you like.
You can download this complete and editable file on my gumroad page, link In description.
To give a final touch of distortion I added the wave effect, in my case I wanted a slight distortion, but you can also increase the values
We will now apply the color.
Double click on the Smart Object layer; open the layer style, select color overlay, with normal bland mode and a color of your choice.
Now, duplicate the layer 3 times with command or control J.
Turn off the first layer, on the third, apply the Guassian Blur effect with a radius of 35 or greater, this effect is used to create a halo behind the writing and make it more nuanced when we apply the grain.
Activate the first layer and open the layer style, apply gradient overlay and choose a gradient.
Apply satin with bland mode set to linear dodge and with a color similar to the gradient.
Finally apply Bevel & Emboss to give it a more three-dimensional shape.
In the last step, I increased the saturation and fixed the satin effect to make it more homogeneous and shaded, then I added a grain filter and corrected some distorted parts of the text.
Here is the final result!

Very fast tuturial

[@clarissaleite9999]

Great video and straight to the point, love it. Just a tip would be to do it a bit slower or at least write down the instructions, because I had to keep pausing and going back because sometimes it was too fast towards the end. But thanks!

[@visionz1003]

nice

[@GregTurismo]

Why was the end suddenly so much faster?

[@TepesDracula]

Nice tutorial, but can you slow it down a little bit?

[@algirynd5855]

[@bluefury118]

You don't necessarily need a png, just get a texture on a black background and set blend mode to screen, or go to filter>filter gallery>texture>grain

[@creakylife]

You can also slow the speed

[@le_cde9956]

U can put the vid on 0,5 dude

[@flamersss]

does it have to be 4500 x 3000 or can we do whatever size we want ? for cover art for a album ?

[@thazero]

No, You can use the size you want

[@mediconaep]

how do i change the text

[@Mertz98]

My distort option is not working. It is like in light letters. Do I need to set something on ?

[@thazero]

Yes, when you use the liquify function, you have to set the "pressure" function to a high value like 60/70, at 00.55 I start the part where I use the liquify tool, in the right panel you see my settings

[@chu_cho7]

bro straight up you made doing this agonizing, what should have taken at least 30 min took me 4HOURS! becuase you dont slow down, dont explain, and skipping certain parts that make a difference overall to the end result. Breath! slow down and explain my guy.

[@thazero]

Hey brother, you are right, I'm trying my best to make the tutorials as clear and understandable as possible, I really appreciate your sincere feedback and I'm sorry that it was difficult to follow my tutorial, I hope the new content is much clearer and understandable

[@frummarzRBLXX]

Yt has a built in slow down feature, this was quick straight to the point and fyeeeee

[@Zythencity]

Shut tf up bro. It was quick and easy for me... If u are fucking slow and don't understand shit it's your problem man

[@manishghartix01]

How can I download the grain filter.

[@amorrious]

You don't necessarily need a png, just get a texture on a black background and set blend mode to screen, or go to filter>filter gallery>texture>grain (Thats what a comment said that worked for me but it only works on the background and not the text itself)

[@Tribevisionary]

Good tutorial, but you really need to slow the video down, doing 10 things at once while the video is sped up is not easy to follow

[@thazero]

Thank you harry, yea I always try to improve my tutorials trying to be slower and clearer in the explanation🙏
