thank you so much to gave wonderfull tutorial it is superb

i was trying to use the pixel polly effect on screen video of myself walking on water and then breaking of into pieces. But the couldn't get the pixel polly effect to work on the video. So i try a regular video clip to see if it would work on that but it didn't work. Do you know a way to use the pixel polly effect on a video. thank you.

Your Tutorials Are Awsome But...........
The Text Begins To Break To Fast

Wonderful tutorial, a great thanks from Morroco .

Andrew i cant find metal, and i hav cs5 idk about u but mine looks different

Andrew if you notice this comment out of the hundreds then get back to me if your interested in making some serious money. I'm a graphic designer and photographer for a company called LIUNA on the side till school starts back up. Ok so back to the point $$ LIUNA recently had a freelancer create some animation work for them and they paid him well to say the least (were talking $1500 a project) I took a look at the Freelancer's work and shrugged thinking I know this guy Andrew Kramer that could put your work to shame... Of course I can't promise you a spot but I figure it's worth your time. You can contact me at my Email if your interested Lilmccoyct@yahoo.com. That aside you're an Artistic Bad ass!

Help.....

Very nice tutorial,I think I may have done something wrong,I just started using After Effects,When I watched this tutorial,because...duh it was Awesome...and Was wondering if u could help,my problem is that when the mask goes from the top of the lettering to the bottom in the finished effect.As its shattering down frame by frame until it hits the bottom there really noticeable black boxes the size of the mask,if theres anyway to fix this it would be very beneficial,Thanks!

how do i delay the time for the shatter effect?

i want a particular frame to shatter at a later frame but it just shatter at the start of the.

Any instructions?

Hi Andrew,
Love the tutorial. However when I drag the CC Pixel Poly onto the test title, the text disappears. The effect seems to be there as its under the text title's settings, but the title itself no longer shows up on screen. If you could tell me how to fix this I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

here is what i did with your tut.

Andrew ur king kong of AE.respect

Another great tutorial. I don't have optical flares yet, but I decided to give this one a go anyway. It still worked out great, here's a quick example of what I did.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcJXF-OP8O0

You, video copilot should change your video as you cant rewind back and if you do it restarts again from beginning, so please change it

andrew, is optical flares also for cs5?

I'm looking to get dirt flying towards the screen.
(say for example a horse is running towards you and it stops half way and the sand comes flying at the screen dead on .. can u please make a tutorial.. on how to do that!

Thanks

THANK YOU SO MUCH

sequencer.js and metal.jpg are in pack 104.zip - download button ;p

thanks for this great tutorial

btw PLS SOMEONE TELL ME

where to get this metal.jpg?!?!?!?!?!

Hi,guys, love the site.
I've got one problem with this tutorial. I don't seem to have the sequencer script. I have about 5 other scripts but not the one i need. Can i download it somewhere? And sorry if this Q has already been answered, i didn't read the whole forum.

Another Great one. Keep it up Andrew!

Hi there,

I moved the 24 top layers to the right in the timeline to when I want it to start exploding. The bottom 2 layers stay at the beginning. I have moved the mask keyframes to frame 77 (when the shatter begins) but for some reason the title begins to explode anyways on frame 2. Frame 1 is the title but it already begins to explode on frame 2. Any help would be appreciated!

Does anyone know the sounds that he used?

Hi,

I am a very big fan of andrew... i only am having a problem in this tutorial .. my whole animation mask starts from beginning and starts going down but the shattring effect instead of applying on each frame breaks only from the end.... thats is it shatters from below only and not from top to bttom ... how can i solve this????

Where did you get they sound effects from, would like to have them in my vid. Nice vid btw keep up the good work :P

Hi i'm new at AE and i want to make my intro with my nick but i can't do it. :( So is here anybody who can make this tut but with this name "eminema_dani" whitout the quotes and send me the video on skype: fast_street_racer thank you very much and very nice effect! :)

Hey guys, im 13 and just got into after effects about 6 months ago and im loving it. The only problem with this tutorial is that the text explodes too early. I know that people have explained in the comments but if someone could actually record themselves doing it and post a link, that would would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

P.S.: Andrew, you are the best and thanks for all the tutorials.

hello, i love this effect, however i am having some trouble when i "alt click" nothing happens?

Thank you andrew for sharing your knowledge, really they are very useful, I learn looking at your tutoriales, in my country there are no courses of this nature, I am very grateful!!!
You are a good person!!!
I do not speak English
Pd.I am sorry for my orthographic mistakes

Hi Guys, Here are some answers to your questions that have worked for me. First off if you click on the download project button you will find a nice metal jpeg and the sequencer file needed for the project. 2) As for having some lead time before the text explodes simply move all of your twelve top layers to the right down the time line and leave the bottom two layers where they are. Then move your key frames on the bottom layers to match your masks on the top layers. I moved mine in 3sec so I had enough time to fade it in before it exploded. Then move on to the next step of putting it into a new comp.

am new to videocopilot.net but man you killing

hi Andrew
i got a job bcoz of u
thank U

Thanks alot for the tutorial but i cant do it im a begginer soo... lol
Please need your help
so in the video he do alot of stuff .......here is what i dont know wtf?
1-. Where did he get the metal.jpg???
2-.The bevel Alpha i dont have it!!! and i got the AE in Spanish how do i change it to English!!???
3-. How did he get the pixel polly???
Please Help!

TO ALL PEOPLE ASKING WHERE TO GET THE CC PLUGINS:

They are bundled with a legit copy of After Effects (i think 8 and up). You can purchase the Cycore FX plugins separately if you desire, but if you actually purchased your copy of After Effects, they should have been installed with your program. If you purchased AE and you don't have these plugins, reinstall.

Great Tutorial, thank you so much.

Hi - Is The Best - THANK YOU .

Thank u very very very much

Thnks for this tutorial man!!! it was more than helpful.

Take a look on my first try:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkuEeatdjYI

really important question!!!! how do you increase the amount of time it stays whole, ya know before it shatters

I'm not very into this, but I just selected all layers (1-12) and then left clicked at them, go time and then Time-Reverse Layer. then I could move them around...

very nice tutorial

Hey andrew, i believe daniel and warren are correct. THere is a step/process missing between 9:00 and 12:00 minutes. Your base title (the bottom layer that enables title to stay on a sec or two) is lined up with the above 12 layers, then the 12 layers above are suddenly later in the timeline around 12minutes. This eliminates the ability to have the title remain unaffected the first second or two so the audience can read the title. Thanks for your time and pls help anyone
-sean

fantastic tutorial, i havent used after effects alot but tutorials like this want me to use it more, good work

I followed the tutorial and it all worked out just fine. I only encounted a problem after i wanted to export it. I exported it as a "flash" ( swf ), but when i have a look at it, it looks nothing alike to what it was. The glow is gone, the shatter effect is gone. How do I export this title WITH shatter effect and glow?

Heh. Shatner. That's funny.

For everyone trying to figure out how to make the title stay solid and delay the shatter just follow these steps...(the exact settings will be based on how long you want the title to stay solid before the shatter happened)

Select "Text Title" 1-24 and move them up the timeline to when you want the actual shatter to begin (I set mine at 40) After doing this I went down to "Text Title" 25 and I moved the mask path timeline down to start at 40. By doing this it leaves a solid text until the 40th frame and then the mask begins to animate right when the shatter begins.

I hope this helps :D

I agree with "Daniel" The Title must be longer there till the effect works, but i even dunno how :)

can someone explain it pls

Just pure genius heh ;) keep up the great work

The tutorials are on point. Just asking if the prices may get abit lower anytime soon. Thanx Kramer.

hey Andrew!
first of all,your tutorials are the best!
even if i am kinda newbie in after effects,i managed to create this shatterize effect pretty well,but i had only one problem...hope my question is not that newbish :D

at 6:35,how you merged the two layers with drag and drop? what key you must use to allow you that?

thanks

really cool! thanks alot!

thanks!!!!!!!!!video copilot.....such an amazing tutorials. it helps me a lot

wow......... you are awsome..........


........thankyou

Hi i was following the tutorial but i think i did somehing wrong along the way, im about 12 mins into the tutorial but when i play my render back the title doesnt appear at the start, the shatter following looks good, just the title at start doesnt show, any help truly appreciated thanks and great tutorial

Awesome tutorial! One suggestion though: you could precompose the text layer at the beginning of the project that way you could use any name or comparably sized graphic by editing said comp without having to do the whole thing over again.

Umm hey so I was working with the shattered tutorial but how do I make the title last longer because I want to use it for a video but it doesn't last long enough no one can read it thanks for reading
Signed,Daniel

Great work Andrew
?????

Thanks....Via this tutorial i just got several lessons...

woh its great tutorial i didn't believe last few years but today i know After Effect is wonderfull software with the help of video copilot tutorials. i am waiting more and more greatfull tutorials

GOD BLESS YOU FOR WHAT YOU DOING TO THE WORLD OF GRAPHIC. WHENEVER I SEE SOME SAMPLE OF YOUR CREATIVE WORKS, I BECAME MAVOLOUS. I WANT TO BE LIKE YOU. HOW DO I START I'M A VIDEO EDITOR.

Hey Ryan Walls I think you aren't selecting your 12 title things before you run the sequencer.

1) Awesome "trick." Could never see the UFC intro people kept talking about. THX ANDREW!!!!

2) At 6:37, I agree with Ben Baxter that Andrew delted the bottom "Text Title" row.
EXPLANATION: When the bottom layer "disappears" look at the visuals, the layer's visuals also disapper. Thanks Mr. Baxter!

This is a great tutorial, but everytime i run the sequencer script nothing happens. I can record it for you if that would help. Anyone know what's wrong here?

where can u find the shatering glass sound?

@argentino, yo si te entendi lolololol. pero de verdad q si estan cabrones!!

hello andrew, you're a great graphic ....
but excuse me miss stylize glow ... Where do I find...Thanks

Andrew! Just wanted to say a HUGE THANKS! I'll pray that God will bless you!

Greetings from Sweden!

kuul stuff is worth payin 4

como se que seguro nadie me entiendo putossssssss muy buenos videos

I just saw an ad on TV for UFC, when it showed text for anything, it used this effect!
I love seeing this effects.
Great tuts, love them, keep them coming.

cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

hey guys,

around 10:09 of your tutorial you go to have a look at the work and when you come back it looks like all the work, text title 13 has been extended and the rest move to around 16 to 24 frames like as if the bars from layers 1 - 12 have been moved over and layer 13 extended. whats the deal?

Hey,
I love ur videos kramer! Really nice job!
Keep ur good work in AE.

<3 VIDEOCOPILOT

Very nice tutorial dude....

I like the new microphone you're using. Great tutorial!

Thanks for yet another great tutorial, Andrew!

Did you do the titles for the UFC 115 commercial? If not, I noticed they apparently watched this tutorial.

Hey Andrew (and everyone else),

First of great tutorial as always. Best resource site on the interwebz.

Secondly; I have issues with 1 part so far in this project. When I add the CC Pixel Polly it shatteres from the beginning. Basicly meaning the text is never 'intact' - at frame 0 it's already beginning to shatter. Where/how do I make it start as intact? Any help (from anyone) would be greatly appreciated.

Dennis, Denmark

I love the tutorials man. i just have one quick question. the sound effects that you used for the finished animation. how, or where can i get that to add to mine. Thanks in advance, and keep the tutorials coming.
