Explore light controls for the cylinder by adjusting intensity, color, height, and direction; light is fixed to the cylinder, moves with it, and illuminates the outside as it passes through.
Import footage, create a 5-second 1920x1080 composition at 30 fps, arrange three videos into a slide video cylinder, and apply the cylinder effect with gradients and rotation.
Animate a cylinder in After Effects CC using rotation keyframes, 120-degree steps, and the graph editor to shape speed with the speed graph for a smooth, complete 360-degree rotation.
Explore the CC Sphere in After Effects, learning how radius, rotation, and offset drive its shape and lighting, with shading, ambient, diffuse, specular, and reflective maps for realistic renders.
Build a four-rectangle beach ball map, apply the sphere effect, then crop a precomp region for motion.
Apply CC Sphere to a video and text to create a rotating sphere using video and text maps, with careful rotation to avoid seams and outside rendering and drop shadows.
After Effects CC: apply a radial shadow with an adjustment layer to multiple layers, so the layers underneath inherit the effects and you can adjust light source, color, and softness.
Create a cc spotlight effect using gels, images, and videos by adjusting masks, feathering, and intensity to shape realistic lighting in a new composition.
Practice building an audio spectrum in After Effects using provided assets to create three spectra with the same parameters except the maximum height, and explore exclusion and vivid light composites.
Explore the Radio Waves effect in After Effects, building polygon waves on a solid layer and manipulating the producer point, birth parameters, render quality, and stroke for dynamic visual effects.
Explore the polygon wave type in the radio waves effect, adjusting polygon size from 64 to 128 sides, and use curve size and star depth to shape motion.
Explore how the stroke controls shape a polygon wave, adjusting profile, color, opacity, start and end width, and fade in/out to manage lifespan.
Start your journey into visual effects in After Effects with a complete course covering all effects across many projects, and participate by suggesting the effects you want to learn next.
Visual effects in After Effects a complete guide to the perspective visual effects.
From the author of the BESTSELLING, HIGHEST RATED Complete After Effects CC course.
New Section already added covering the Radio Waves Visual Effects with two Complete Projects
Are you starting up in after effects? You know the basics of animating and you want to focus on visual effects?
Or maybe…
You tried to use visual effects in After Effect...
You drop the effect and you wonder how to go about it. How to use the controls, how to animate them… spending hours trying to figure out how an effect could work?
It gets pretty confusing sometimes. Right?
Do you want to acquire a true in depth, practical and useful working knowledge of specific effects?
The aim of the course is to offer you a complete guide for each perspective effect. It stresses exploring and understanding an effect. The methods you could use to dig deeper and get better results from an effect. You will experience special focus on animating an effect
This will lead you not only to truly master the effect itself, but you will also acquire the knowledge and the skills to tackle and work with many other effects.
All the examples and techniques within the course are researched and explained in details to guide you to master the effect and acquire the ability to use the effect in your various projects.
This is course is starting now as a complete guide to the perspective effects. Each section is a thorough complete guide to a single effect (I really do mean thorough). You will cover:
Coming up all the Generate Group of effects.
The most important learning experience you will go through is understanding and working with effects.
If you want to master effects, dig deeper in the perspective effects and create awesome animated visual effects the join me in this course.
