Is that a g-g-g-ghost?! No, no, it's just ghost-like text. With this setup you can create crispy, I mean, wispy effects in your animations.
Hope you find this useful. Any comments and feedback are appreciated.

@MotionGraphicsandCheese 9 ай бұрын

My pleasure! 👍 Sure; I can see that they use a lot of alpha/luma mattes (masking based on transparency or brightness values) with videos/stock footage, a lot of tint (color remaping) effects on inverted contrast (white becomes black, and vice versa), some 3d elements and scenes, like the bullets, coins and the car scene. Most of this look is achieved by creative color remaping, to create a graphic look. And they are mindfull of transitions matching the movement of previous scenes, making shots more smooth and reactive. Does this help? I can probably do a video on doing something similar at some point. Could be fun. Ps. I would recommend not growing up too much. Stay young at heart and curious.

Really quick to help anyone out. The graph editor part is way to fast. Mine doesn't seem to be on your settings somehow. Idk explain it better

@MotionGraphicsandCheese 4 ай бұрын

It might be because your graph editor is set to value and not speed, like mine. If you enter the graph editor, and look at the bottom, there are a lot of buttons. If you click on the second one that looks like a box, a list appears. Select the one that says speed graph.

for some reason, the wipe is not working for me. i have the source layer set to noise distortion but the text just fades uniformly

@MotionGraphicsandCheese 4 ай бұрын

Of you are talking about the text in the beginning of the video, then it makes sense. At the start of the timeline i set the scale to 90 and at the end to 110 so it animates between those 2 values

@MotionGraphicsandCheese 5 ай бұрын

Hej, sure, the next step is applying a tint to your distortion layer, and setting black to 50% gray. That way it only distorts the brightest values. Did that help?

@intrackmusic9596 5 ай бұрын

@@MotionGraphicsandCheese Sir, When I changed the value of 'Max horizental displacement' my text gone to right side that means text changed its value of scale. If you don't understand, can you give me your messenger or telegram id to send you my problem. Sir.

Sure. The text part where i write "time*30"? Its called an expression, which is just a small piece of code that affects a property. In this case im asking it to look at the current "time" and multiply it by 30. And this updates the value of that property, so for each second, it adds 30. Did that make sense?

To cycle between keyframes you kan press j (previous keyframe) and k (next keyframe). Page up and page down allows you to move the timeline cursor 1 frame forward or back respectively. Home and end takes the timeline cursor to the start or end of the composition respectively

@Motion, Graphics and Cheese - The instruction ityself was great, but you need to get a better pop filter or adjust your gate. I.e. Your essessss are really pronounced. Viewers will tolerate some graphical issues, but the human brain revolts/retreats from elements like bad audio becasue its a physical thing like finger nails on a chalk board, which means they prolly won't return for further videos.

@MotionGraphicsandCheese Жыл бұрын

Hey, thanks! Yeah, I know, I'm trying to get a better setup. I've been using a pop filter in the new videos, and adding more de-esser to my voice. I've been going through some audition tutorials to improve it. If you have any additional tips or can refer me to some good tutorials, I would appreciate it. True, that's why horror films can have crappy image quality, but the sound still needs to be good. Thanks for the feedback!

@ParanormalHuntTV 4 ай бұрын

None of this works....you go way to fast to explain anything. Not for beginners at all. Half of what you explain doesn't even make sense....you're expecting everyone to already know how to use this program. What's the point of teaching if you're gonna act like everyone knows it already? Slow down, say your words right. Then it might make sense.

@MotionGraphicsandCheese 4 ай бұрын

Hey, thanks for the feedback! You are probably right that this is above beginner level. It can be hard to remember that people who arent familiar with the program, dont know all the words.
