🔥 What If You Could Learn After Effects, With The Confidence To Be Able To Make Your Own Video Effects... In just 30 Days? - flatpackfx.link/motionfx 🔥 5 Free Tips For Awesome Video Effects - flatpackfx.link/5tips
Thank you so much, youve taken hours of labour and narrowed it down to a couple of minutes. These are my favourite types of tutorials. I really appreciate this.
This video was fantastic! I ran into a bit of a snag because I was wanting to use an Illustrator file instead of AE text and had issues with creating the bevel to produce the shadow. But I just converted the AI files to object layers and BOOM, it was perfect! Much appreciated!
Add a bit of timing in the middle of the animation, and dont forget to add compotision zoom! You can also change the opacity in mask settings (saves a lot of time)
Great tutorial! Thanks man. But I have problem with creating light. It wont show any shadow on the text. I followed every instruction in the vid and it wont make any shadow.
Hey, download the free image links in the description to get the help maps. It sounds like the settings on the background layer material options. Also check that the letters are ‘extrude depth’ otherwise they won’t cast a shadow.
Hi, Thank you very much for uploading these amazing tutorial. I am having a little problems though. My individual letters were not casting any shadows, I have followed all the steps, I have no idea why it is not casting shadows... If you have time, could you please help me with this?
U r an inspiration, u have such a potential. Don't worry, success will come to u maybe a bit late. But ur 13k subs will become 31k subs. I wish that. Bcz u do things without outside plugins which is awesome.... Kudos!
Awesome tutorial! Thanks. Somehow I have done something wrong, I have checked your screenshots and everything looks ok. The issue I'm having is that when the white writing comes onto the screen, its barely readable until the red overlay kicks in. Yours seems to have an outline, where mine is just white on white with the shadow. Any ideas? Thanks again for the effort putting this together, its appreciated!
Hello, great video! Really clear and professional, when I come to enabling the ray trace feature in composition settings as there isn't an option too, any ideas? Thanks :)
@@FlatPackFX hey could you explain me how to make the shadows look nice and are longer because for me there is nothing changes between Classic and Cinema
Hi, thanks for the great tutorial, but i have some problems @7:00 : I can't see the shadows behind the letters, after set the spot light. I've checked all the settings and tried several times but i can't find my mistake. what's wrong? Many thanks
Hi Riccardo, sounds like the background is not set to take the shadows. Download the free reference images in the description. This will help you check your layers to make sure they are correct. Thanks FPfx
Hi Guys! Some of you have had a few problems with the settings, each copy of after effects may have some different default settings that have been set on previous projects. I have uploaded some images of the correct settings, so please double check your settings match these. drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B5RuGQ6KxsIvV2FZaW1SVTg0OGM?usp=sharing
i followed carrefully every one of your steps but at 7: 25 my letters are not like that, they're light grey, doesn't look 3d, and are barrely visible. i did everything exactly like you, so i dont know what went wrong help me please i'm stuck and i don't know what to do
Great tutorial... but for whatever reason my background is totally washed out... so white I can't really see the letters. I've gone back through the tutorial twice and can't find what I missed... any suggestions? Using CS6, if that makes a difference.
hope your around and can help, i followed your guide. well done by the way. i have tried to duplicate the text (ex netflix) change it to enjoy. i did a fade out on netflix using opacity, and then a fade in and out on enjoy using opacity option. it all looks great. but as soon as i change the settings to cinema 4d (i only have two options, classic 3d and cinema 4d. i'm using the trial, so it's the latest version of after effects). the second piece of text does not show. i even tried exporting to see if it would be saved in the file but it does not. i tried clearing ram and cache. this did not help. if you're around any help would be much appreciated. tnx
I was creating my own logo, so I changed the title and the font, but after changing the 3D renderer, I could not clearly read the title of my animation, I tried to put borders in the letters, but they did not appear in ray-traced 3D . I tried to create a black letter behind the white, with the larger font to simulate the border, but the effect was not as desired (the white letter shows black scratches, as if it were transparent). Do you have any tips to make the text more readable?
Hey Celso, thanks for your comment. Can you send me a screenshot of your project so I can have a look? I think there may be something going on with the font or something you have used not being scalable. Cheers
Hi Flat Pack FX, Great Tutorial ! Keep up the good stuff :) By the way, What software do you use to make the keys that you're using on your keyboard appear on your screen ?
Hey Marien, thanks for the comment. I manually add them in on premier when I'm editing the video. They are images, search 'mac keyboard' on google images to find the style.
OK sorted out my issue, well not really. i just started over from scratch and it worked. i'm not experienced enough to know all the settings and for sure messed something up. i have another question, how can i change the colr of the shadow? i want to make the background black and a red shadow. i have tried for a few days and can't seem to figure it out.
Hello, amazing video, thank you so much, unfortunately, when I go to my render options in composition settings, there is no ray trace option, I have an rtx 2060 so I’m not quite sure what the problem is, any ideas? Thank you! :)
Hi mate, at 7.22 my letters aren't showing up, there greyed out and not looking what as your characters, any idea's? Many thanks. Great tutorial by the way, by far the best to follow and I've been searching like a dog! Please definitely keep em coming, super helpful to get to know AE.
Hey Adrian, I have had a look at building it from scratch myself. One problem that isn't very clear is to make sure the 'cast shadows' is set to OFF under the 'Shadow Layer' material options. If your letters are not showing it will be something to do with the material options for each letter layer. I recommend going back and double checking those options again, or continue and a little further and i cover this in more detail. I am putting up a post to flag the cast shadows as it appears as on by default. If you get stuck i have also uploaded a copy of the project under the description, download that and cross check your settings. Worst case send your project to me and ill work out whats gone wrong. Thanks mate!
Flat Pack FX, Hi buddy, thanks very much for getting back to me, I thought I sorted it, but actually I didn't lol, I think started again. its a blur, I had to start again numerous times, but that was cool, more practise. Thanks again for reaching out, please def keep the tutorials classy and have that digital polish. Thank you indeed!
thank you. it great helpful for me. but i have some problem. when you change a render setting from classic 3d to ray-traced 3d(9:40), your work has been changed like a long shadow. but my work doesn't changed.it still just shadow. what's wrong with my work? l have completely done what you instructed and i work with cc 2018.
Hi, it sounds like you need to activate the extrude function of the letters to create the right shadows. There is a part I show you have to use the extrude depth to create the correct shadows. I have a link to reference images in the description too if your really stuck
Hi, I haven’t used uMake but I would say anything is possible. You probably couldn’t make it from scratch but you could export completed parts and import them into uMake. You can then layer the effect over your background in uMake. Thanks for the comment.
Hey Allie, your letters may have accept lights on them. You will have to check if the extrude is set under the geometry options for each letter. If they are not extruding they won’t cast a shadow. There are free images of the settings in the description to check your settings. Hope that helps!
Why do you turn on classic 3d in the early then set it to ray trace 3d and at last you say that turning to classic 3d to change the text, it makes me confuse @@! Btw thanks for your effort in this tut
hey i want to ask something, i changed my 3D render to Cinema4D but by "Netflix" text didnt turn to 3D at all :( do i have to press something like enter or any other keys? thankyouu
Hi welcome to the channel, to get material options you need to setup up the 3D aspects of the scene. The light and 3D layers. There are free reference files in description, download these images so you can check your settings. This will work in CS6. Thanks
Hi mate, firstly make sure the layer is set as 3d 2) click the little triangle drop down on the left and look for material options underneath the transform heading. It won't be in the transform menu but underneath, hope that helps you out! Thanks FPfx
I am having trouble with the spot light effect. My letters are not getting its own depth of shadow and they keep turning grey. The background is also grey as well. I am using After Effects CC 2018. Is anyone else have this issue? Please help!
You need to make sure you activate the depth extrusion shown in the video in order to get shadows. Also check your settings against the stills in the description of the video to make sure they match. Hope that helps
Select the text layer and hit u on the keyboard, now find the key frame that is in the wrong spot that lines up with the incorrect movement. Either try deleting the extra key frame or adjusting it. Hope that helps
Hi, Simply use the section tool 'V' and select the letter on the screen and drag it back into place. Your copy of After Effects may have centre justification turned on under the character menu. Hope that helps!
I thought to take answer take a day at least. Thanks you for your fast answer. I understand your answer that click Left alignment. and it work. thanks.

Hey this is awesome! but I'm stuck around 7 mins... my light seems to be casting a shadow ONTO my letter layers, not behind them. Any thoughts?
