You've probably seen other old TV effect tutorials before but in this tutorial Greg pays attention to minute details like the RGB pixel separation and teaches us how to achieve this look using all built-in After Effects tools.

Hi Greg,
There seems to be a hum in your audio, making your voice softer.

Funny effect

I used KeyCastr (http://stephendeken.net/software/keycastr/) to show the pop-up keyboard shortcuts.
As far as the illustrator file, I’ve contacted the AETuts editor about this and reminded him to make it available.

By the way this is an awesome tutorial and an effect that the Post guys, at the news station where I work, have painfully tried to remake using Final Cut and have done a horrible job. Thank you for sharing and it will definately be of use to me. The use of the displacement map and fractal noise is also something that new AE users can learn to set themselves apart from others. grayscale images are so important in AE and other apps.

ok, so i am able to follow along untill it comes time to turn on the track mat for the vector file, (im on a pc if that makes the difference) but there is no drop down menu for the file in the position above the composition. how do i get it to let me set it to the alpha track mat… im kind of beginner, so please bear that in mind.

Hi James, Sounds like you have the Transfer Control Panes hidden. At the very bottom of the screen you should see three icons. The second one should be a circle with an overlapping square. This toggles the Transfer Control Pane on and off. Clicking it should hopefully solve you problem.
