What... I've only ever seen this effect used for rainbow-seizure inducing memes. I had no idea that there were actually practical applications for this effect. Awesome tutorial!

Holy shot! This is a super powerful effect, can do basically anything with lots of knobs. I do colour correction mainly with the tools I know and have overlooked this effect. Wow.

basically whole "Madeon - Good Faith" album, music videos, and tour visuals were made by this. actually, they were my gateway to learn about this effect.

You can tell what a beast the effect is by the length of the video lol. I'm glad you compared it to gradient map as that's usually why I use colorama while ignoring most of the settings. When I really want all the controls/colours I'll use it instead of tri-tone and the other similar ones. Nice to know what all the little doodads do!

This effect seems like it could be very useful for creating a matte to use for other effects to impact just the shadows or highlights. Or if the scene has an obvious natural gradient of dark to light, maybe even a cheap depth map.

@JakeInMotion 2 жыл бұрын

Yes. In fact, most everything in after effects is more dependent on your processor than the video card. Only a handful of effects are GPU accelerated and even then they still work without a powerful GPU.

Great tutorial. I do wish you had included how to do a text color cycle like you have in your thumb nail. I am assuming you throw a color swatch under your text--make the text a matte over the swatch, then precompose, then add colorama and key frames?

@JakeInMotion 2 жыл бұрын

For the thumbnail I literally just changed the text colors. If you wanted to animate the color cycle then yes, probably some sort of matte with a posterize gradient so there's the same number of levels of grey as characters. Then you would want to apply colorama and animate the input phase shift.

@glassroads989 2 жыл бұрын

I think I figured out channels. Channels are the components that go into the end result of a video or image. Colors, brightness, etc. Once I realized that there’s more to am image than it’s colors, I figured it out. I usually think of channels in terms of multiplexing.

There must be a way to delete one or more of the little triangles around the Colorama Output Cycle circle right ?

@chrisgavin Жыл бұрын

Ah, found it. if one clicks on the little triangle and drags it away from the circle it disappears.

Based on the video title, I want to vent this out before I watch the video. I started using after effects some 4-5 months back, and colorama, fractal noise and turbulant displace are my top 3 favorite effects. I just need an excuse to throw these effects on any of my abstract compositions.

amazing tutorial as always. also here in 14:38 actually you have 2 more ways to solve this issue the firet way is by pre-comping your layer mask and the other way is by changing the source dropdown menu to effects&masks then you can put a transform effect on your mask layer and try to scale it back to normal :D
