In this fun tutorial, Adam walks us through the write-on effect as well as a new way to implement Trapcode Particular to create the popular simulation of an appearing wisp of smoke. He shows us some options to this effect as well how to customize any logo apply these principles in any way you wish.

    the part that links the movement in the tutorial, I get the box to attach to the movement of the writing how do I link the two movements in cs5.5?

      You’ll have to be more specific… or show me an example of what’s going on.

        Could you please show or type some steps for how did you do the intro of the tut and also what is the name of the music you are using?

    If anyone wants to know, you can keyframe your write-on brush positions far apart and have a continuous line if you set your brush spacing to 0, similar to brushes in photoshop.

    Can you write me the number of “particles/sec”, “Velocity”, “Life [sec]“, “size”, etc. that you use in your video?? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F66hzMbkyDw&feature=player_embedded)

    I was left out clueless at the end. What he did at the end i had no idea. So i was just stuck. I am beginner at AE just started using it. That last effect would’ve been so helpful.

    Sorry for asking but i am completely new to after effects and i dont know how to make you text an outline only

  • matina

    the tutorial is great however you can see which adjustments where have been done and by telling us “let’s crank this up” is quite hard to follow what exactly needs to be cranked up. I am really thankful for this tutorial however could you in your future tutorials please describe which values are edited so the beginners like me can easily follow up ? Thank you .

    excellent tutorial!!! I find that adding a gaussian blur to the particle layer helps add to the smoke effect…I set mine around 8…thank you…love this one!!!
