  21. Kevin Richards says:

    Very nicely presented tutorial, Mark! Thank you. =)

  22. Sid says:

    Thanks a lot, Markus. This was an easy to follow and well done tutorial. Maybe in the future you could film in HD, because it became hard on the eyes after a while since it wasn’t very clear. This effect rocks tho, keep on doing what you clearly do best!!

  23. Richard says:

    Id’ like to DL all the tuts here. But the problem is how to DL it. Everytime iI open the link, it seems that it would play rather than DL it. I can’t find any DL button. Please help Mr. Admin.. Tnx

    • ibox says:

      hi bro use IDM (internet download manager),..
      it will integrate with firefox, after that if you shown “tab” download this movie, then click the “tab”,…

      ok

    • Lloyd says:

      You need to Right-Click on the word DOWNLOAD and choose Save-As and you can then save the movie to your hard drive

  24. David Wood says:

    Nice effect! Near the end when you did the tracking you didn’t set the keyframes. Anyone else catch that? Well, still a cool tutorial.

    this tutorial is great but this is the second one where you say duplicate the comp…in the video the STORM text duplicate lacks the fast blur. It really doesn’t work that way.
