- Want a better glow or even a Super Glow in After Effects? Like Deep Glow or VFX Optical Glow? But without plugins?
Well, not quite possible with After Effects’ native glow effect alone.
In this After Effects tutorial I’m gonna show you how to create quasi photoreal Neon Glow physically based on the inverse square law.
Of course with NO PLUGINS!
Download the FREE AE Tutorial File & (optional) the Super Glow Preset!

purchased. thank you, works perfectly.
Thank you very much 😊. Glad, it works for you!
@@MichaelPonch it's a very clever setup. nicely done.
love the creative and technical wizardry happening on this channel. purchased, works great.
Fantastic technique, Michael!
Thank you very much Jake. In one of my older videos I recommended your linear expression video. You explain complex things in an entertaining way. Cheers from Bavaria, Germany 🍻
your editing skill are ossm brother 🥰🥰
Thanks man 😊
Really appreciate the work you put into these videos because its really helpful to be able to recreate these plugins which I can't really afford yet so thank you for this
Thank you 😊. Right, especially when companies go more and more towards the subscription model. I’m not always willing to buy a subscription when I just want to use just one effect that I use every now and then.
Are you kidding me? These videos are awesome, plugins are so expensive and you are saving money for us.
I came here from reddit, thanks for posting.
Yeah. I also buy plugins but the costs accumulate everytime you buy one or a subscription just for one effect that you use once im a while 😊
Fantastic Preset! its always good to use a mixture of Native Effects and plugins, since it can make processes run smoother and projects lighter.
Thank you 😊. It’s a cheap alternative to the plugins if you don’t need the effect every day
Awesome as always and always and always and always, professional person that really really humble to share his knowledge, I'm really really grateful dude, you're awesome!!!
Thank you very much. I’m really happy to share you my tricks 😊
Glowing like a Fed agent.
I believe Andrew made the glow stacking popular in the 2010s, you’ve definitely expanded on the concept.
fantastic bro i was struggling to get deep glow plugin but cant afford it and then you showed the way that is way more good ...
thank you bro☺
Thanks, man 😎. I also avoid paying for plugins that I know I’m using it maybe once or twice in a year.
very impressive as always Michael. thank you so much!
Thank you. Appreciate it 😊
This video is great actually for us!
We’d know how things work rather than just follow the path that fast but we don’t understand much
Thank you! For providing more knowledge for our tool!
Amazing tutorial!
Recently discovered your channel and Im loving all your quick AE tuts!
TY for taking the time to making them! 💜
Thank you very much 😊. My next tutorial is coming soon!
@@MichaelPonch Sweet! I'll be keeping an eye on that c:
Thank you for very detailed description. It is always fantastic to learn something new (especially with those basic tools.. ) even after years I work with AE. So Thank you again. Very inspiring..
U should have zoomed in when recording.we could barely see what u are clicking
This is pure gold!! Thank you ✨
So proud of my friend, keep up the good work 🙏 hope you’re safe as always
*A glowing digital magic* 🔥🔥🔥
..
btw...can you please make a tutorial on a *HARRY POTTER WAND DUEL WITH CC PARTICLE WORLD* with the *COLLISION IMPACT OF SPELLS* ...
..
that would be awesome 🔥🔥
I did everything as tutorial but when I use this Calculations effect and use Overlay the Fill stays white and i cannot get rid off it, any help
Hi 👋. Maybe it has something to do with the base color which could be too bright or too saturated. You could slightly tweak the color to be darker and/or desaturated.
Could be because I'm using images as opposed to a 3d shape but this just straight up doesn't work for me 😔
Maa maan. U something else bruh !! 😎
Thank you so much for this video. Super easy to follow and the result looks awesome. Is there a metho to apply this to a shape that has a depth?
Thank you 😊. You mean a 3D shape or object? However, everything that’s precomposed is suitable. Shapes with thin lines work best.
I mean 3D shape created in AE with the materials option. I did try pre composing but somehow the effects did not work anymore. Guess I need to dig a little deeper into the 3D possiblities of AE 😅@@MichaelPonch
Great! I bought your super preset. Masterful!!!
👍🏻👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Congrats and ty for this tut. Subbed.
Thank you 😊. And thanks for subscribing to my channel!
Amazing. Thank you for the lesson and the preset!
Michael you are a superstar!!
I’m sure you’ll become a big hit on UA-cam, that’s certain 👍
Hi! Is there a way to export it to premiere? Thank you for all your videos, very helpful
michael baby 😍😍😍
Thanks for this!
Does anyone know if Adobe ever plan to improve the glow effect so we don't need plugins?
i think in future adobe can bcoz i see photoshop 2014 glow which is not much good but in 2019 it improved alot so i think in after effects will also if adibe wish
Welcome 😊. I remember when Adobe introduced Camera Lensblur. Maybe as an answer to Frischluft’s photorealistic Depth-of-field plugin. So there’s hope they’ll do the same with the glow 😎
@@MichaelPonch Thanks 😊 Great!
@@ZayedGfx Yes this is true!
@@richochet 😄
Wow, That was cool,
Thanks so much 👍
I get divide by zero errors even if I give the slider a minimum value of 5. How can this be avoided? You mention clamping but should this be applied to the slider or the radius expression...?
I already own Deep Glow and Real Glow, but I wanted to learn how it works and how to do a plugin-free setup.
Hi Peter! I don’t have the expression in my mind anymore. In any case it’s the divisor you have to clamp. If the number that is beeing divided by just the radius then clamp the radius. If it’s x/radius then clamp radius. If it’s x/(y*radius) then clamp (y*radius). Hope that is understandable 😊
I've downloaded your aep-file, but there are no effects/presets included? The layer SuperGlow doesnt has any effect applied to it. Anyway thanks for sharing this nice tut!
Hi! This is just the free project file for the tutorial. You have to tap the other box “After Effects Preset (.FFX)…..” to download the preset 😊
Fantastic!
Thank you 😊
Hi I bought the preset but when I opened the project file there was no preset to save as “animation preset” the “effects controls” is empty :(
Hi! The effects are on the layers. Select them all and save as Animation preset. But the easier way is to install the .ffx file into your User Presets folder. Hope that helps.
@@MichaelPonch thank you so much it works now !!
For some reason, my After Effects can't seem to recognize the variable "gf" and it gives me a warning saying it's not a number I can divide.
me too
Hi 👋. Maybe the slider is set to 0. Set it to another value before you link “gf” to the slider.
@@MichaelPonchI've done that, but the issue still remains.
hi, i had this issue and i fixed it by setting all the sliders (glow size, falloff, amount) to 100 and then it fixed itself
@@azibfansuri318 Oh, thanks!
My AE is not showing pick whip for parenting the effects
Have turned on all icons on the bottom left? Could be that the column with the pick whip is turned off. Hope that solves your problem 😊
Honestly i think this looks better than deep glow !
Thank you very much 😊. At least you can now tinker around with the effects or even add some new ones to create your own glow styles
Awesome tutorial!
Thank you :)
Hello Michael, could you please make a video on how to save time and make things automate while editing videos in after effects, I edit my videos in After effect but most of the time I start editing from scratch
Nice work, but you missed a lot of the cool things Deep Glow does with colour/light mixing.
Just tack the cost of a plugin onto a clients bill and save the time.
Thank you 😊. Yeah, I own all the commercial plugins as I’m a Motion Design freelancer. The idea behind my no-plugin-tutorials is take them as a starting point to create your own unique effects and get creative with native effects im general.
So clever 👏
Thank you 😎
Hi, I have purchased your preset too ...
It works well on shapes and texts but How is it possible to apply this effect to png images too?
Tks
Thank you! Yeah a downside with my preset. Deep Glow/Optical are definitely better in this. But without knowing your footage this could be a work around: Duplicate your PNG in the timeline and adjust contrast so that just have the hightlights of your image. Then use the unmult plugin (it's free) to make the darker parts transparent. Then precompose it all. On the precomp apply my Preset. Long story short: my preset works best with elements on a transparent background. Hope that helps.
very smart !!!!
Apparently,when i try to add this with something like,find edges,for some reason it only shows white?
Should i connect some stuff or something like that to the super glow?
Edit:Oh no nevermind,i experimented with some stuff and fixed it,anyways thnx for the tutorial
beautiful
I just bought the product but I can'tfind an ffx file in the zipped folder?
Hi 👋. I think you accidentally bought the free version. I’m sorry the Gumroad UI is confusing. You can refund it and buy the other instead. Make sure you check the right product.
@@MichaelPonch yes I just realised, the UI is confusing. Thanks for clearing that up. I don't need the refund, this tutorial was really good, you deserve it, thanks!
I've downloaded and tried your last step of changing blend mode to Add, but I'm unable to change to any other blend mode.
Right. I intentionally limited it to a few blending modes because the others didn’t make sense to me. However you could deactivate the expression in the blending mode parameter and switch to another blending mode in that effect.
Thanks for the support by the way :)
I guess I'm confused because in your tutorial you specifically set it to "Add" as the last step making it look more like neon...which is the effect I want. @@MichaelPonch
@@joeltell sorry, now I get it. In the video it was the 1st version I used. Not the updated v02. It should then work because you set add directly in the calculation effect
@@MichaelPonch I'm looking in specifically in "Optional: Calculations" and this is where I can't change the blending mode. Is there somewhere else I should look.
My 2013 iMac dies at 4 iterations on Fast Box blur.. LOL CC Crossblur has in built cc composite add mode by the way.
Yeah, this is where the plugins may be more efficient 😊. Good to know with CC Crossblur. Thanks for the tip!
I purchased the SuperGlow effect but I can't work it in After Effect. :( ''unsupported filetype or extension.'' please support!
Hey 👋. If you are on windows you have to put the FFX file into the folder User/[yourusername]/documents/Adobe/AfterEffects/User Presets
You can also google “Install FFX in After Effects”
And thanks for the purchase 😎
As soon as you installed it open the Effects&Presets Panel and you’ll find my preset in Animation Presets>User Presets
@@MichaelPonch Thanks for the quick support, but I'm using a Mac. How should I install? :(
thanks!
thank you a lot
thank you for this tutorial. But when I downloaded the project file, there is no preset !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for watching my tutorial. There are two options to download. You downloaded the free project file for the tutorial. The other download option contains the .ffx preset 😊
@@MichaelPonch where is the other one?
@@hasansafi3341 just tap on the other box “After Effects Preset (.FFX) for A Physically Based Glow Lookalike”
@@MichaelPonch thank you.
its not working with 3d
Do you mean on a 3D Layer or 3D rendering? Both should work if you precompose them first and then apply the effects.
i cant type GF-effect (it's error) i dont know why?
In the expression window? It must be the line “gf=……….” like shown in the video. Other wise there will be an error.
@@MichaelPonch I ran into the same problem and then realized my Glow Falloff slider was still set to "0" when I entered the expression. An error occurs when AE tries to divide effect("Fast Box Blur")("Blur Radius") by 0.
@@kurtramschissel846 ah….now I understand the problem. The easiest way is to avoid to set the slider to Zero 😂. Or use the clamp expression to limit the range: clamp(input,minimum,maximum). Thanks for the hint.
@@MichaelPonch oh my god, with the normal quality in UA-cam video, it's look like "-" not "="
good
Thank you 😊
supper tut
