      Yeah, its a combination of a write on effect, animated or filmed ink spills and using the paint tools to create the drips.

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

    Good tutorial….But you should have given credit to Brian Maffitt of Total Training who came up with this exact tutorial several years ago with After Effects 6.5

    I remember this tutorial from way back in the day of Total Training for AE 6.5, but nice to see it out and about again.

    But original cred should go to them.

    Adam, thanks for the great tutorial. I am going to use this (and modify it of course for my station’s own use). It’s amazing that people like you take the time out of their own day to show people like me how to use great tools.

    How did you create that BUMP? I can’t seem to find out! Anyone know? Help!

      Adam Everett Miller August 19th

      The bump was simply a solid, then masked into a circle, then I added a blur and cranked up the value quite a bit…. nothing special.

        Ok so im completely stuck on how to make this bump. I was ok till that point but now I have no clue. Would be helpful if you could explain these things as it pretty much makes these tuts impossible for beginners to use if you dont
