Some good AE tutorials

[Joh|Goodwin]

Hi

here is a very popular After Effects tutorial site.

http://www.ayatoweb.com/ae_tips_e.html


Some of the effects are good for intro/outro

Good luck

I looked at that site a couple of times when I began to use AE.

However, I gave up after having either a problem understanding the English on important steps, or finding a minor had been left out meaning I couldn't get it to work right.

Oh well.

Using what software are done those effects ? I guess not sony vegas :)

Do you know how to do similar effect in Vegas ? :)

[Joh|Goodwin]

No I do not use Vegas.

But I know it's not possible to create those powerful effects in Vegas.

Hey i'm still new at creating logos' and movies and just recently bought Adobe AE. I'm trying to do the example 3 on http://www.ayatoweb.com/ae_tips_e.html. In your post you said you can help, and any help will do. The first step asks to create a logo with Motion's Graphic. But i don't see this option anywhere. If its not much, do you think you can write a step to step guide on how to achieve this intro for a newly introduced person?

[Joh|Goodwin]

For Step 1:

You only need a text. It can be a photshop file, illustrator, jpeg or whatever. Or you create in After Effects . With the timeline selected choose Layer -> New -> Text.

I advise you, don't continue that tutorial. You need a PlugIn called "Final Effects Complete". It's not for free.

Generally, if you're new with AE try www.creativecow.net or www.videocopilot.net before you start ayatos.


If you still want Ayato tutorial Nr 3 I'll upload my project file.

Greetings

[Whiteyy]

oh. I'll try to get that plug in... And please if you can, can you upload the Nr 3 :D

[Joh|Goodwin]

Here is Example 3,

The final animation is in the composition "Step 6 (Final)". You can color it in Step 4 and Step 5. I colored it red/yellow, some warm colors.

Thanks so much. I'm trying to work on the other example http://www.ayatoweb.com/ae_tips_e/ae51_e.html. Its the one with the water splash effect. I went to the point where it says in step 2 for the particles to form and roam freely. What i have a issue on is step 2 where it asks to put the layer as the previous layer 'AE51-1_Text'. My AE didn't have this layer as an option. I created a text layer but it still didn't show... DO you know why?

[Joh|Goodwin]

I tried to find the words in english. But i didn't get. If you're german i can easily.If not, i'll upload the project file.

[Whiteyy]

can you upload that water splash file if you can

[Joh|Goodwin]

Sorry for the late reply.

I let Step 4 and 5 out. Because I haven't the artbeat watertexture clip.

Wow thanks! Sorry for the questions, but can you do a step by step to replace the Ayato @ Web with my desirable logo? Thanks for the help!

[Joh|Goodwin]

No I don't.

I uploaded my files to help you. You shouldn't use my work.

[Btcc22]

While the effects are nice, the tutorials always seem to either have a problem with bad translation to English, or an important step is left out.

Every tutorial seems to have something go wrong despite following it to the letter.

Hey there :) Nice guides!

I was trying to make the http://www.ayatoweb.com/ae_tips_e/ae21_e.html#, however I have Adobe After Effects 6.5, but not pro - is there some way to make the fractal noise or something looking similar in the non-pro version?

- Martin

[Joh|Goodwin]

No you can't. With Version 6.5 you have 'Fractal Noise' but not 'Displacement Map'.

You need Displacement Map.
