    The link to the free trial of freeform AE goes nowhere. Says “404 Error: Page not found” Just me?

    Gotta link that works?

    Very cool effect. Saw the preview the other day when Brandon Ray’s tutorial was posted. Knew it was coming…..glad its here!

  4. Would be cool for a shot of a street do some motion tracking have like a wanted flyer get stuck and warped around a pole.

    Are these tutorials available to view on an iPhone??? If so, could someone let me know on twitter @foochuck

    Thanks!!!

    I like your presentation skills and editing, but the tutorials effect isn’t all that exciting. You do a good job teaching people how to use this plug-in, but I thought AE tuts paid for effects. The Cow does more tutorials on how to use effects.

    If AE tuts is now paying for tutorials on how to use effects, I’ll do one.

  8. Sandy says:

    thats not even a tutorial….its basic how to use that plug-in..effect is not that good either.

    Knowledge-boosting tutorial here… The screen-shots do tell you the story… the final result looks like something right out of a big-banner game.

  17. Kidd says:

    Looks very professional and very animated movie type… will be looking forward to trying this myself.

  18. lonny says:

    never got to the tutorials. too many commercials.

  19. Remington M says:

    Excellent tutorial. This one should be reposted like they do with some older tutorials. Now that Freeform comes included with AE CS5. I’ve had CS5 for a while now, but never really experimented with freeform

    Thanks!
