What I like most about VC tuts, is they give us enough of an idea of what to do, but doesn't baby sit us and enables a lot of room for using this stuff for other purposes.
this tutorial is blowing my mind. I seriously started laughing out loud when you showed the align tool! Just that one little thing alone will save me SO much! This is probably my new favorite tutorial. There were SO many new things I learned in this one. These effects are really versatile so I can make this be my own and not make it look just like this tutorial
This is The one for my future animated logo! How did i not find this earlier... Very nicely done sir! The electric disturbance blew me away! Fantastic work!
Always love the sound design for your completed effects! Big fan of Designer Sound btw. It's a bit like BBQ sauce - instantly turns anything you pour it on into something awesome!
Great Tutorial. Using the mouse wheel to adjust the rounded corners of a rounded rectangle = AWESOME. How have I been missing this shortcut for the last 15 years???
Andrew, you beast!!!! My boss kinda hates you because i learn more from you in half an hour than from him in a whole week lol. Please, never stop amazing us.
First video of yours I've seen, been using AE about nine months, you are blowing my mind with these keyboard shortcuts. Really informative thanks, Subbed :D
I pre comped all of my sound effects, and set the source for the Audio Spectrum effect to this comp. So the animation matches the sound and gives it a way more organic feeling
Hey Andrew, I bumped into one of your blogs and I got hooked to your tutorials since then. You are great man. Thank you for sharing your ideas. I'm learning a lot from you. Subscribed and follow you already.
Even tho I probably wont be using the methods used and the knowledge gained from these tutorials any time soon, I just love listening to Kramer and watching him.. make.. things. Things with awesome in them.
Thank you for all your efforts and time in sharing these videos. One bit of minor feedback you might consider is using a keystroke display as I've seen in multiple videos you've created (and reading the comments below others have the same experience) that you sometimes use hotkeys without explaining what you did and then for those of us that don't know how you did the hotkey we are lost. Your instruction is excellent.
Very well explained and led this great tutorial. Certainly, I have taken a giant step following step by step video and have been very surprised by the system to create such a powerful object and an impressive finish. Thanks friend!
This is fantastic Andrew. I don't know how you do it. I wouldn't even think to do some of the things you do. I would have never guessed to use things like polar coordinates and such.
Thanks for this awesome tutorial. I have watched every single tutorial you made so far. But this is the first I tried out. Very well explained and easy to follow. I have used this spin effect as visualizer for my music, which I just released on my channel. Thanks again Andrew!
Oh my god. This tutorial is very helpful! Although I'm still having a bit of difficulty with the terms and the tools and stuff of After Effects. I'll subscribe so I can watch more of your tutorials!
Awesome tutorial. Wow, I really need to look at all of After Effects tools! I overlook so many tools and dont realize their importance until you bring them up in a tutorial!
Thank you for the awesome tutorial! The end result is very cool and the tips about the AE keyboard shortcuts and various features were quite helpful as well.
enable blending mode for layers with the button on the left bottom (middle one of those 3 guys) and another thing sneaky turning off the reapearing circle mask at 7:28 as always great work andrew
Awesome tutorial! I saw the thumbnail and thought I'll never be able to make that, but I have it a go and followed along really easily. Very helpful, clear instructions :)
Its so amazing to see the possibilities of After Effects. To bad that After Effects and all Copilot Plugins are so expensive.... No cheaper software can do this.
This was my first time using after effects, love this tutorial. If you could slow it down slightly and also explain more about what shortcut key you're using that would help. But other than that, really impressed with this tutorial, well explained, amazing effects generated from nothing. Thank you!
I nominated Andrew Kramer to be on Creative Live. I think he could really teach us a lot on the long form, live workshop. And It would benefit video copilot as well with exposure.
I don't understand some things on your video... I mean, sometimes, I have the feeling that I've missed something like at 12:25 where there's a new layer that was creat, just like that... Why ?
video co-awesome. Your videos r the best man all of them are epic. I suggest that all the noobs out there who can't use after effects should come and learn from the master (Andrew).
i am a start off dj ...planning on starting my youtube page for my fans.... i would really love to have this spectrum look..... awesone video by the way!
That is some great tutorial I see. I'll certainly use it for some other reasons and projects I'm working on. :D I'd like to ask you something. Around 29:56 you've clicked on a Transparent button on the video composition window. I'm not sure, but, does this button allows me to renderize the project as a transparent video, or it just hides the black standard background for visual and/or preview reasons? Thanks since yet! :D
two people's heads blew up due to the awesomeness overload in this tutorial. This is beast. The only question I have is near the end Andrew talks about "turning layers on and off"; aside from tweaking the opacity (which is what I am assuming here), is there any other (faster) way to do this?
Hey Andrew, love your stuff man but do you think you could add either some quick keyboard shortcut captions as you hit em' in your vids? or maybe do a keyboard cam so we can see what you're hitting? I get lost sometimes.
At 12.30, when you try to spin the dots, i see that you have to add a duplicate of the dots and parent the new one with the old. So when I do so, my dots are still not moving :( What did I miss?
MOTION BLUR DISAPPEARANCE AND BEYOND ISSUE: Someone suggested: "Put CC force motion blur on an Adjustment Layer above the Audio Layer" It did show up again, but I couldn't get the ghosting effect to happen. I moved the layer without the blur into its own comp and then added the blur to it- WORKED. I am using CS4.
You are a god with After Effect mate..:D Got yourself another subscriber. Gotta follw more of your videos for After Effect..:D Dont stop making us amazed mate.:)
great work but i met a problem at the section where you create the Dots. Every time i enable the luma matte it doesn't show and I'm not sure why that is because I slowed the vid to make sure I didn't make any errors. Pls any help would be appreciated. Ps just trying to do it myself and its truly a great tutorial
@video copilot 2 questions: 1) how do i watermark it? i mean how do i eliminate the black background to be able to reduce it and use it (as example) as a watermark for my text? 2) how do i put it on a video and how do i write text on it? 8this ought to be a level matter
"This is all in after effects, no third party required"
ahhhh, what a nice sound to my ears.
Aman Bhargava A song isn't a plugin.
audi787b OK,
audi787b he probably meant he likes that there is no 3d party plugin. not implying that the sound is 3d party.
musicpolygon you're probably not wrong!
ikr
it't 2023, and still the gratest visual effet teacher out there, Andrew's tutorials are out of this world 🌎 🔥❤️
You are the Bob Ross of the Digital Era.

Using the Radial Blur as a glow mechanism, using Polar Coordinates along with Transform is brilliant! thanks Andrew!

By completing this amazing tutorial I was able to create my own audio spectrum visualizer
Thanks bro

I am convinced that the one dislike was a accidentally misplaced click. Thanks for another great tutorial! I learned a ton.
only with this free tutorial I learned more than with many commercial. THANKS!!!
Thank you for the awesome tutorial! The end result is very cool and the tips about the AE keyboard shortcuts and various features were quite helpful as well.

Man this is crazy with ur inteligents u can save the world from suffering but the animation stuff is also cool :D
just love when you use French words : "Silhouette"... kinda cool, I use it all the time (I'm French :p)
Great tutorial btw
Awesome tutorial! I saw the thumbnail and thought I'll never be able to make that, but I have it a go and followed along really easily. Very helpful, clear instructions :)
The site's tutorial notes say to try putting it on an adjustment layer above your design elements.
His tuts usually involve his own products and plugins of course, but several of his earlier ones did include Particular. Check out the website.
Oh my goodness the force motion blur YES it's SO BEAUTIFUL :D
Robert Yang force motion blur never works for me.. WHY
Its so amazing to see the possibilities of After Effects. To bad that After Effects and all Copilot Plugins are so expensive.... No cheaper software can do this.
Great tutorial Andrew! Your tutorials have helped me through so many projects. Keep up the amazing work! :)
I do like the sound of this.
This was my first time using after effects, love this tutorial. If you could slow it down slightly and also explain more about what shortcut key you're using that would help. But other than that, really impressed with this tutorial, well explained, amazing effects generated from nothing. Thank you!
I watched this three times in detail ... nice job .. thanks
The spiny thing loks like it has a really interesting looking artificial iris! You should explore that more, maybe for use in a scifi clip
Reminds me of just about every ELO album cover. As always, thanks for the tutorial!
Video Copilot is my pilot. Andrew is awesome!
No words andrew,such an amazing animation,so creative.Thanks a bunch sir!
You're right! those other 140 tutorials were terrible! This one is pretty good
Videocopilot is the most important thing to ever happened to After Effects.
I nominated Andrew Kramer to be on Creative Live. I think he could really teach us a lot on the long form, live workshop. And It would benefit video copilot as well with exposure.
Every time I watch a VC tutorial there is always that moment where I go "WHOA WHAT THE FUCK I DIDN'T KNOW YOU CAN FUCKING DO THAT!"
I don't understand some things on your video... I mean, sometimes, I have the feeling that I've missed something like at 12:25 where there's a new layer that was creat, just like that... Why ?
king of after effect
video co-awesome. Your videos r the best man all of them are epic. I suggest that all the noobs out there who can't use after effects should come and learn from the master (Andrew).
Excellent example!
18:11 "Now, this is where the fun begins... If it hasn't already... which it hasn't..." XD
i am a start off dj ...planning on starting my youtube page for my fans.... i would really love to have this spectrum look..... awesone video by the way!
to be honest, Video Copilot tutorials worth millions of dollars.
That is some great tutorial I see. I'll certainly use it for some other reasons and projects I'm working on. :D

Thanks since yet! :D
Video Copilot is the best.
Bro this is an amazing tut! can't wait to bake my own!
two people's heads blew up due to the awesomeness overload in this tutorial. This is beast.
The only question I have is near the end Andrew talks about "turning layers on and off"; aside from tweaking the opacity (which is what I am assuming here), is there any other (faster) way to do this?
Hey Andrew, love your stuff man but do you think you could add either some quick keyboard shortcut captions as you hit em' in your vids? or maybe do a keyboard cam so we can see what you're hitting? I get lost sometimes.
i love it... you are the best teacher at the world

"looks good to me, fuck it, we're leaving it in!"
ANDREW ... YOU ... ARE ... THE MAN !!!
Great tuto and I appreciate how you did it
Can't wait to try this out!
you could've also used the polar coordinates effect for the "rounding" of the audio spectrum
GENIUS² ! That was the best tutorial I've ever seen in my life ! More More please
At 12.30, when you try to spin the dots, i see that you have to add a duplicate of the dots and parent the new one with the old. So when I do so, my dots are still not moving :(
What did I miss?

very oldschool and useful at the same time :)
Superb.. I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!

Mindblowing tutorial!
Great tutorial. Thanks for sharing.
So much new stuff for me to use (align ftw)!!! Amazing and exciting tutorial o.0
Right, I'm going to give this a shot... Hopefully I can get it to work.
Can you do a tutorial on advance expression usage ? And how you use expression on your professional work ?
Amazing tutorial. So inspiring! Thank you :)
BEST TIPS & TRICKS EVER. yeah :D!
@video copilot 2 questions:
1) how do i watermark it? i mean how do i eliminate the black background to be able to reduce it and use it (as example) as a watermark for my text?
2) how do i put it on a video and how do i write text on it? 8this ought to be a level matter
Why does Nuke have better flares then AE? I wish VC would create the same for each program!
really good tutorial, thank you. Also could you do a particle animation with the sound thing?
