Hey everyone, thanks for checking out the video! If you’re looking for a transparent background rather than black - two options… The easy way: burn something as just a black shape (so you only get the fire on a black BG) then use that comp as a layer set to Screen or Add Mode.
I think it is best way to burn you pc 😂
probably a dumb question, but how can I render only the fire and the text without the black background? I tried Rgb + Alpha but since there is a black background it just didn't work. anyone help a brother out? @texturelabs
Good Gravy... Incredible result and an even more incredible method. Amazing!
I don't even use after effects but you are so good at pushing every effect beyond it's limits, I watched the whole thing lol
that was smart
How, how do you come up with this stuff.
How you invent these kind of stuffs....
Can you explain how to composite this dope effect over another layer?
Can this be done in a transparent background or just a black screen?
Your tutorials are insane! Love how easy to follow they are and how much I learn about how effects work together thru your vids. Thank you!
I love your tutorials so much. I've been wanting to dive into AE for a number of years now and took the plunge with this video. A LOT of pausing of course, but ultimately I learned so much! Thank you and keep on inspiring!
The directional blur with vector blur, and the Gaussian Blur + Exclusion combo is a game changer for me. This is insanely optimized for how good it looks as well. I look forward to every single one of your tutorials!
Amazing. Once again, I’ve been using After Effects for twenty years and you’re teaching me new things
A true master! I love how you use the default version of the software without plugins and create truly amazing effects. Thank you so much, you are inspiring!
New Texturelabs video?!?! YESSSSSS!!!! So excited to watch this :)
Your tutorials are the easiest to follow, but at the same time looks the best. Incredible…
I really enjoyed following this, you have a really clear and informative style and pace that was easy to follow. Thanks very much, end results look amazing too!
Awesome Fire!!! Will be diving into this one on the weekend! Full credit to you when I post on my IG. Thanks so much, really great tutorial with a deeper dive into after Effects.
