Absolutely brilliant tutorial. Perfect for what I needed, really easy to follow and worked great first time. Thank you so so much!
I spent an entire afternoon trying to figure out a way to orient the particle emitter to the path. You are the ONLY person who thought to include that, in like 3 hours worth of tutorials I watched.
I don't get why nobody but you saw the need to do this, but there it is. ty for this.
I didnt get it how?
Josh, it is an amazing tutorial, I really enjoy learning, wow! the knowledge that you have, Thank you!
Thanks man! I'm nearing the end of a project where particle world comes into play; this really covered an effect I was hoping to figure out.
Thanks for the tutorial, I'm really grateful for all the awesome stuff that you teach on the channel! Just a small request though. Can you perhaps try to zoom in on the panels when you adjust and tweak stuff? Even on fullscreen on a fairly large monitor, the interface looks small and cluttered and it can get difficult at times. Keep up the great work!
I likenhos style of no nonsense full speed work along as fast as you can then rewind. Really really helping me learn.
Hey! Thank you so much for the video. Fantastic content, you're an awesome teacher!
Just wondering - are your project file downloads still available? The download buttons don't seem to be connected to working links.
This is a freaking amazing tutorial dude, thank you sooo much. And thank you for remembering to verbally state what keys you push at certain times, like alt click for the positioning. Makes it so much easier to follow.
If I could ask one question, is there a way to add new particle shapes? Like 5 pointed stars and stuff?
Try this: Import the png of the image that you want to be the particle. Drag that png on to the comp and shut the eye off on its layer. Next, Inside of the Effect Controls twirl down "particle" and next to "particle type" choose "textured square". Then twirl down "texture". "Texture Layer" gives you the option to choose the source from your comp to be the particle.
Josh this a wonderful tutorial using for a Class in AE on Particles, Thank You! You are truly amazing!
Thank you this is very detailed and well presented. Would it be possible then to track a hand movement and then apply particles to that?
Your tutorials are amazing !!! Thank you so much
Awesome video! I'm a Graphic Design student who's very interested in motion graphics and I love watching your channel to get some inspiration and trying your tutorials myself. Keep doing what you do!
same ayeeee!
Excellent Tutorial! Easy to follow and had fun trying to create a new animated logo!
Hey Josh, really good videos! Loving it! How do you made your name poping in letter by letter effect? I love it! So smooth
Thank you so much for this! Amazing tutorial!
Exactly what I needed. Thanks 👍🏼
can you make the particles follow the path and then split off into multiple directions?
such a fast tutorial thank you!
Brilliant. That's exactly what I needed
Nice tutorial Joshua (Y) It would be great if you could explain to me what those expressions doing to the properties? Thanks :)
W video. I cant wait to use this on some of my future projects. Thank you for this tutorial!
Hey! This has been super helpful, thank you so much for making this! I did have another question - is there a way to i.e. draw or import shapes yourself to use as particles?
Yes, select Texture square in particle type
Thank you mate! You're a lifesaver!
I love this guy - simple ... but clever
Ez pz, thanks 👍
Might wanna check the expression for Z though. Had to mess around with it because the copy/paste one you gave seemed to be firing errors off with that 2 for some reason. Got it working fine though.
Thank you so much! I have learned a lot through you
I really want to buy that pack from CinePunch but can you just clarify if i purchase the extended licence does that mean I can use elements within the pack multiple times for different end products?
Awesome tutorial thank you :D
Thanks. Saved me a lot of time
Im a graphic design student and I really like your tutorials I've been following quite a few to help with some projects. But theres some like this where you don't explain how you made the title. I wanted to see how you did the title as well but can't exactly do that if I can't download. On your website after I press download a 404 page pops up.
Thanks man, super helpful!
Love this!! Thank you so much!
you can download the project from the link to Google drive and send it to me, please
Thank you, it was really helpful
hold alt as you click the icon stopwatch position X, your welcome
thanks bro i wasted my 15 minutes finding the solution
Thanks a million!!
GOSH THANKS
You save the day man!
that's what he said 2:54 Alt click
great Tutorial by the way :)
Realy appreciate this, i helped me a lot.
THX MAN! You saved my time!!!!
Well done nice & easy I done it thank you.
Great tutorial and channel. My only complain is the is to hard to see the value you input because the letters are so small to see them.
Thank you for your amazing tutorial! I have a quick question: am I allowed to copy and paste these expressions into my work project for both commercial and non-commercial use?
Thank u very much... perfect tutorial
This helped, thanks a lot!
i followed this tutorial but my particles seem really mashed together and not really spread out like yours..any advice?
is this possible with trapcode particular > . < thank u sm for all the amazing tutorials !
You are so slick with Ae Man! Ill be hitting you up on the Discord some day when im better at making stuff like you!
Could you use this simulated effect to make fireworks? Im planning on a title similar to this but instead of a path (or in addition to the path) i am going to creat 7 fireworks (1 central, 3 scaled and symetrically palced around the main one)
Kewp the up the BRILLIANT work! Thank you so so much Josh👊
superb! thank you!
Thanx for your video. I really appreciate it.
awesome tutorial bro
Legend! This is gold
Best tutorials
I dont know you but I love you
Wow wow! Thank you so mush Bro!
Great turorial Josh. Bur when I past the mask path in the position it doesn't.
Hello Joshua. How to do the logo reveal that comes in the beginning of the video that is the SONDUCKFILM's logo reveal ? Please tell me.
Hello! The tutorial works fine when the camera is in its default position but when I rotate it to the left along the Y-axis, I can't make the movement work. The particles are good but the lens flare was always off the screen. They were not moving in the same position. Can anyone help how to fix this?
u are the best i only understand ur tutorials
Allways the best!)
Thank you so much!
Thank you for this tutorial, it was helpful to create a trail. Is it at all possible to animate particles like that to go along a path very slowly, for a full 6 minutes, but have them leave a trail behind them that doesn't vanish, and instead keeps generating particles? When I increase longevity to 700 seconds, and tune velocity, resistance and birth rate to fit the width of my trail, the particles basically become motionless. Is there any way to fix this and make the particles move?
Hey I know it’s 8 months later but you simply need to duplicate your path and connect it
Thanks, Mr. Quack
First Comment>>>From Egypt !!All my Support
MAGIC!!!😍
thanx bro ,, really appreciate
beautiful!
Thanks bro.you rock...
Excellent job
Superb bro!
Thank you so much!
Keep it up!
😍💛🧡🦋👍😱😘💜🌹☘️🌷💚❤️🍦💞♥️
what if my mask change size? and i can't change the size when its pasted in Position
Thank you! 😊🙏
Hey, good video but it is awfully difficult for me to see the text on your screen on a 15.6 laptop. Could you zoom in on them? It would help a lot! Thanks
Great. Best particle effect creation without third party / trap code particular /
can u add the key command at screen pls? im not an english native so i try to follow mostly by looking at the screen lol :'D
Thank You For the Great trick 😍😍😍😍😎😎😎😎😋😋😋😋
Amazing!
I wasnt able to do this step regarding the pasting part of the expressions you mentioned .. its actually not pasting not in the effect controls neither on the time line .. please can you tell me what to do in this case
thankyouuuuu!!!
You my friend, have earned +1 sub
Thanks for subbing :)
Thanks alot 👌
Thank You 🙏
Is there an explanation of the Expressions used here? I can't quite fathom it, simple as it is.
Hi Josh! After I draw my path is there a way to move the path to another location on the comp; I need to move the whole path a little to the right...is there a way to do that?
there is a way to offset the whole path left, right, up or down!
you can replace target.position[0] with (target.position[0] +/- offset). for example, to offset my path 200px to the right, i used the following code in the x expression:
target = thisComp.layer("Path");
((target.position[0] + 200) - (thisComp.width/2))/thisComp.width;
this would also work with a vertical offset, i could move the particle's entire path up by using this code in the y expression:
target = thisComp.layer("Path");
((target.position[1] - 300)-(thisComp.height/2))/thisComp.width;
Hey, what if we are creating particle system in case. how will this expression work there?. can you help me on that
Thanks a lot!!!!
I LOVE YOU
Nice!
Josh, what could be going wrong and my particles (object) doesn't follow the path? Thanks in advance
I am not going to remember anything after this tutorial ^_^ i didnt know expression scripts are a big part of AE!
Bless up.. Thanks..
How would one do this if the shape consists of more than 5 paths?
is there a way to make to diferent trails ?
AMAZING! thanks for support whit the tutorial
Very nice
Nice video......how can we this without expression....tell me
you"re basically rapping, thanks for the tutorial
thank you sir
Incredible 😍😍🔥
you can download the project from the link to Google drive and send it to me, please
@@olekksandr the link is in description
@@HasmieMusic after clicking download writes the file will not find
@@olekksandr it's there i believe... If not, report to sounduck film. He made it free
After copying/pasting my mask path to the null object's position the entire path gets offset. It keeps the path shape and it follows it, but the entire shape is moved for whatever reason. Just confused
Happens to me often too and i don't know the problem. If it does, I restart AE. If problem still exists, i just create another null object and parent the old one to it and and move it to its proper position.
for some reason when i paste the expressions in after the alt click i get a bunch of erros, and then when i change the layer to be 3d it says: raytraced 3d: initial shader compile failed
What kind of GPU do you have in your PC? Ray tracing in general is a pretty expensive operation for your video card and CPU (less so), and is mostly supported on newer GPUs that have been available for the past few years.
So I’m willing to bet that error message occurs because your PC lacks the needed hardware specs for that specific After Effects feature, or you haven’t installed the latest drivers for your GPU.
I do everything right but when I create the new particles layer, and do the particle world, nothing shows up on screen. no particles. I see the layer etc...
You dont need to copy and paste any code you can attach the simulation to the curve just like you attached the null object
Hi dear, i was trying to apply your way but it couldn’t be pasted thr expressions on thr xy position (effects) may you help me or suggest another way?
Where did these expressions come from ???? and my project and paths are different! so this video basically works for just this tutorial and not anything else!
