Keep coming back to your tutorials because, among others qualities, you call us "everyone" and not just "guys". Thanks for including all of us that are not "guys"!
are you talking about where he sets it to Auto Orient to Camera? You may have missed the shortcut he used for that: Ctrl + Alt + O (thats a letter oh, not a zero), (on PC -- forget which key combo on mac ) or navigate through the menu: Layer > Transform > Auto Orient
Hi Luiz! You can add a 'Glow' effect to your shape layer and then in the effects panel, set Color A to the fill color of the shape and set B color to the color of the background. Then adjust the Radius and Intensity as you want.
Not much to it really. A little gradient blur on a solid, a little HLS noise to taste, and a tint for some final colour control. That may be another of these very very quick tutorials :)
Thanks a bunch, Evan! That was indeed a nifty trick and I made use of it right away. Btw, an object in an orbit is called a satellite. :-) Looking forward to more tips and technique as we float in the deep space of mograph. .-0
I'd love a tutorial on your aesthetics or where you get your style choices from. Like your intro looks amazing, the little lines inside the box or the weird glow of the "sun" that doesn't look perfect but is this grainy mess and perfect in a whole other way. I know this wouldn't be a simple tutorial where you just achieve one effect so I'm not expecting you to do this since it's too broad of a concept but still a cool idea imo
That might be a topic to bring up on the live sessions we get into on this channel from time to time. That might be a better place to get into these open-ended optics.
Hi Evan, thanks for this great tutorial! Any ideas why my rotation stop moving as soon as I activate the auto orient on camera? Without auto orient my “pancake” perfectly flying around the “planet”! Thanks a lot in advance and keep up the good videos!
Typically issues with auto-orientation to the camera in this context seem to be from the location of the anchor point. Make sure that they are oriented around the middle of the shape and not the middle of the composition. Otherwise, it won't seem to move at all. I hope that helps.
Great tutorial again. Could you make a tutorial about the most common/interesting affect & presets? Echo effect seems to be fun and I never use it before :D
Great Work! i do have issues though. After applying the Echo Effect on the Orbiter at 5:10 , i can't seem to replicate the same effect. But it worked when i pre-compose the Spinner and Orbiter and then apply the effect on the Precompose. Why is that?
I really enjoyed this tutorial, but I'm pretty interested in using 3d layers for motion graphics. I was wondering if it would be possible to do a tutorial on 3d layers more in depth? Maybe using basic cinema 4d shapes to make something?
I can put it on the list. 3d layers and c4d lite would need to be two separate topics I feel unless I'm showing how to achieve the same result using both methods as a compare and contrast. But that could certainly be a good teaching point.
ECAbrams Great to hear! Also wanted to show you soemthing I made following your grainy gradients tutorial and repeater tutorials. The rest was done through illustrator etc. photos.app.goo.gl/QoqeDoizSmBuiH616
Really useful. More 2.5D animation tutorials if you may. But how do you variate the speed of the orbit (faster in certain area and slower in other areas)?
ive triple checked everything but still when i transform at explained in 3:19 then my orbitter doesnt even move.help me i really like this and im frustated.Im using adobe after effects cs6 HELP ME SOLVE THIS PROBLEM
lol you've probably already figured it out by now but, just in case, try: select the orbiter layer then go to Layer -> Transform -> Centre Anchor Point in Layer Content I had the same problem but this seems to fix it. good luck dude
Something weird is happening with mine. Everything works until i do Auto-Orient to Camera, then it kills the movement. Keyframes are still there, Null is still spinning, but the orbiter is stuck. The heck?
Check the anchor point of the orbiter. It should be in the middle centre of the orbiter layer. That way it will orient along that axis to look at the camera. If the anchor point is in the middle of the comp it will orient around that, which is also its rotation axis which would override the movement.
Awesome. Thank you. That did the trick. But now, new question. Why did my anchor point behave differently than in the tutorial? Is it a preference thing?
Mine didnt work.... Tried all the methods mentioned in the comments down below, unfortunately nothing worked for me. The orbit is spinning but on the side, not around the middle sphere. If there was a separate tutorial for this issue :(
I made a guess that you would use the Orbit Null instead of a plain Null, animate the rotation and then parent the camera to it. And then Parent the centre planet to the Orbit Null as well, so then the camera and centre planet are spinning around and in fact the 'orbiter' is the static object. Same thing at the end of the day though!
I´m encountering a problem. When I transform the Auto Orient towards camera, the shape stops moving. Like it won´t obey the null object anymore. Anyone had this? AE 23
You're not alone. A few people in the comments have had this exact problem. The most common issue is not having your anchor point in the middle of the object, but instead having it in the middle of the composition. Make sure your objects are rotating around the correct points.

I'm very happy to hear that. I do hope everyone, and I do mean everyone, feels this channel can be a useful resource.
IF YOU GET STUCK AT @3:19 put the anchor point onto the orbitter!!!
jared lamar thanks you helped me alot :)
i was struggling with that! Thanks dude!
Just got stuck there and then read your comment. :)

I often feel like I'm orbiting around ECAbrams videos...
You should make a tutorial about that awesome grainy glow around the main planet or whatever that center ball is.. Thats sweet, bro
It's actually one of his earlier videos :) ruclips.net/video/0M9qe8_LhLo/видео.html

yes, I really want to see this in tutorial!)
Please, I really want to see this in tutorial too!
Thank you abundantly for the tutorial! Short, simple, & to the point!😃🙏
This is crazy you just uploaded this, I was just looking for this effect last night! Perfect!
"The Secret" works. Proof right here.
Sense of humor and simplicity made me subscribe.

Great tutorial. No messing around. Thank you
Just another person saying thank you so much for the easy explanation. It really helped me out of a potential jam.
I have been search for this for a week everywhere. Thanks man!!
Loving the pattern series, please do more :)
I have this feeling in the previous video that this will have its own tutorial.
Quality content as always :D
I've been binge watching your tutorials and I love all of them and your voice and when it goes off and be squeaky lols
Thanks. Glad people like my weird voice.
Awesome video!
Wow EC, that's surprisingly simple. I'll be using that one for sure. Thank you!
"Surprisingly Simple", title of my autobiography
Thank you!
As always, another cool tutorial. Thank you very much.
I recently discovered your channel and boy, am I glad I did! Great tutorials. Just great.
Man, this is so useful! I've never thought about it. Thanks, as always!
easy clear fast and awesome !

Well, thank you very much for saying so.
Top! Using this for my next Googie-themed vid!
As always, great job!
fantastic man，yuour tutorial made my day!
Love this kind of commentating!
Great stuff ! Thanks

Hi, I got an issue, when I added the “current towards camera" to the layer, my orbit didn't move along the null anymore...
same, no idea what to change
Thank you so much
Simple but amazing 👍
WOW!!! This is so perfect!
Thanks teacher🥺🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ingenious!
amazing sir...
Thank's dudeee. Love your tutorials. You're funny :P
Great Work! i do have issues though.

I dont know if this is useful but if you stuck in 3:19 make sure that the anchor point its on the center of your shape, and you will have no problem!
When I auto orient to the camera, the shapes stop moving altogether. when i hide the camera layer they start moving again... :'(
Thank You! 😀😀😀
Shocking good!
That
is
so
fucking
awesome
thanks.
You are the best 👍🏻
thank you☺

mine was working fine and then this started happening me too, did you figure it out?
Try to Rotate the Orbit just to make sure It is moving at all

Hi! How do you create that lighting effect around your middle circle?
yes I would also like to know
First saw that and was totally wondering how to make that, you mind reader
Something weird is happening with mine. Everything works until i do Auto-Orient to Camera, then it kills the movement. Keyframes are still there, Null is still spinning, but the orbiter is stuck. The heck?
Happens to me too.
Same
I tweeted at him and he said to make sure the anchor point of the orbiter is centred on the orbiter shape layer

If the anchor point is in the middle of the comp it will orient around that, which is also its rotation axis which would override the movement.
Awesome. Thank you. That did the trick. But now, new question. Why did my anchor point behave differently than in the tutorial? Is it a preference thing?
How to give them a trail? Like a shooting star?
You might use effects like the echo, but it may be best to use a different method. Maybe a particle system.
