The version doesn’t matter ariel
It’s the same in AE 6.5
Nice job…cool idea. Don’t use too many keyboard short cuts! I’m not a huge fan of that. lol
Nice one! The bulgarian guys make good job!
Hi Stefan!
Thx for this great tutorial. It’s one of my favourites.
But one thing I’ve to criticize: for my taste the animation should have more dynamic. F.e.: The part of the animation when the particles move backwards to collapse could be much faster.
But I say it again: just my taste.
Anyway U did a awesome job. Go ahead.
I’ve seen this somewhere before. in a movie I think .. it may be the intro, the new film “District 9″. it is very similar to the one in the movie … thanks for this turtorial.

You need to press ‘alt’ + click the stopwatch to write code in.

Wow!!! Great work. I was eagerly waiting for this.

This had to be the effect/animation I was looking for for a while now.
And here is what I did with it

i don’t know how to render the file at 1:06 so i can’t continue to complete this project. can you help me??? please tell me how to render the file ‘characters animation.mov’??? thank you very much
I followed this tutorial to the letter and was a bit disappointed with the results. The beginning starts off strange and for some reason, I can’t get the logo reveal to actually reveal!
A few people in this thread asked about what you did to pre-render the character animation and was able to figure out that you chose ‘RGB + Alpha’ in the Output Module of the render que (everything else is straightforward). This is the only part of the project that came out well. I originally rendered in Alpha only because that’s what you said, but saw that this didn’t match your results.
You fail to mention in the Requirements section that you also need Trapcode Shine for this project as well.
Nevertheless, thanks for the inspiration and for what you have shown me.
