[@sucktitles]

This is the first long youtube intro that was actually awesome as hell.

[@WaffleVFX]

I wanna buy that Bad Ass plugin ;)

[@mamanche]

VC Color Vibrance is actually free on Video Copilot's web site :)

[@evan5690]

***** they were talking about the fake one called "bad ass" from the beginning of the video

[@mamanche]

Oh, crap, hahaha, sorry.

[@MichaelSchofieldFilmmaker]

I know right!!!

[@slykhajiit2]

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if someone already built it with AI.

[@SDGIEST]

I really like the way you teach, feels more like I'm having fun with an old buddy rather than learning curriculum. Thanks a lot for sharing your expertise seems like you've been at it for decades.

[@WarTornProductions]

You my friend, are THE MASTER of VFX

[@Madosheet]

Brilliant! Learnt so many little tricks in this tutorial! 40minutes is definitely not too long when it's this informative; not that your other tuts aren't informative, but I'm sure no-one else minds the longer tuts!

[@Draculus]

Probably the best tutorial I've ever seen. Very informative and entertaining!

[@LaidbackMarco]

Andrew I've been following your stuff for years since high school love the great content man keep it up! Maybe I'll be able to use these tools in my job one day!

[@Charlie_Alpha_Lima]

Oh YAY! New VC_Pilot tutorial time! I haven't even watched it yet but I know it is going to be amazing! Videocopilot never disappoints!

[@EspireMike]

Andrew, you and the Copilots are today's ILM (of the 70s and 80s) - inspiring a whole new generation. This is one of your best tuts yet,

[@FFF_Trucking]

am I wrong? I haven't seen new tutorial since I mentioned I was pirating their software, I hate I said that, but no more tutorials aggg

[@jokjok2411]

Finally! I've been waiting for this tutorial.

[@BOOOYAAAAAAA]

Dude... Thoose tutorials are never too long when you explain what your doing, I actually can understand what your doing even if I'm not really used to After Effects, and I speak french... So do more of theese! they are awesome tutorials!

[@Adwebvertising]

Andrew, thanks for making these tutorials informative and fun! You rock!

[@PathinAZ]

Awesome.I admire the way that it's not just a how-to tutorial, but is geared towards getting everyone to see the immense possibilities that can stem from a few simple effects.

[@BasicFilmmaker]

Completely awesome Andrew. Thank you.

[@nicpar4984]

I just want to say you have completely inspired me to go back to school at 26 for Media Arts Animation and Special Effects. The things you do in all of your tutorials are amazing and I can't wait to learn more!

[@streetbl]

School will suck your money, just get good from learning online and lots of practice. Build a Demo reel and forget about school. Coming from experience.

[@AnimeHumanCoherence]

TechNICK Trust me and Brandyn Streeter, You would be better off if you did it on your own.

[@markjason2]

school is suck . I would do better without school and School will give u stress that make you to be less creative. Trust me based on my experience

[@AnimeHumanCoherence]

***** Yes. Yes you can. There are enough tutorials out there to learn the basics of AE (or other compositing applications), and then you can build up from there. Note: once you have the basics down, don't rely on tutorials. Try to find ways to do things - not saying that tutorials are bad, but soley relying on them would never help you. If you want to get into 3D integration into after effects, get Blender. Just to get started :)

[@rohanramabhadran9444]

Awesome video. Although it is long it is worth it. I am using one of those shockwaves that i learnt to make in your previous video.

[@Shykun]

one of the most epic tutorials of all time

[@InjectorGadget]

Amazing! Technology is just simply amazing.

[@livecarsonreaction]

That old VC website layout is giving me so much nostalgia

[@raptor4211]

[@nenolima5595]

Just the best this guy.. I just finished mine here... wowww. following the tuto take so long time.. but its so great! I repeated thrice just to not forget lol ... thanks a lot as always, Kramer monster!

[@viniciussanctus]

Awesome stuff as usual! Godlike tutorial!

[@4rjohny5]

Epic tutorial Andrew! thank you for sharing how you did it. I tried to do the distortion using your shockwave element, but i like the ripple & pulse effects to distort the footage, i'm going to try that too.

[@4rjohny5]

AND cc glass, so many effects i'm forgetting.

[@Medienmechaniker]

epic indeed.

[@RockerdownQuickHits]

This was excessively educational THANKS!!! Recommendation would be to quickly describe why the order of plugins is important each time you do it... I watched some of VC videos several years ago, but the level was so advanced for me at the time that I couldn't grasp what was going on yet. Now I follow it well enough, but...

[@Hearthful_]

He sounded so dissapointed when he inverted the bulge "It... Sucks the fun out of the shot. *CUT*" xD love your tutorials dude, so professional and helpful!

[@ShivamGuptashivam]

Awesome tutorial, although when I tried to use the transform effect, at 12:06, my shockwave would loop around, but there would be a small gap at the top between the edges. Any ideas on how that could happen?

[@Marcosik1992]

Easy :D Thanks Video Copilot for tutorial and new idea :D
