What... I've only ever seen this effect used for rainbow-seizure inducing memes. I had no idea that there were actually practical applications for this effect. Awesome tutorial!
basically whole "Madeon - Good Faith" album, music videos, and tour visuals were made by this. actually, they were my gateway to learn about this effect.
i love this series, Jake. Sometimes as pro users we forget about the stock tools that are amazingly useful and deep. The way you explain things is just phenomenal. Thank you so much for this.
You can tell what a beast the effect is by the length of the video lol. I'm glad you compared it to gradient map as that's usually why I use colorama while ignoring most of the settings. When I really want all the controls/colours I'll use it instead of tri-tone and the other similar ones. Nice to know what all the little doodads do!
Yes. In fact, most everything in after effects is more dependent on your processor than the video card. Only a handful of effects are GPU accelerated and even then they still work without a powerful GPU.
This is a pretty amazing effect and I have never seen this much information about it in any other tutorial. Thanks for sharing very useful information about it.
Holy shot! This is a super powerful effect, can do basically anything with lots of knobs. I do colour correction mainly with the tools I know and have overlooked this effect. Wow.
Based on the video title, I want to vent this out before I watch the video. I started using after effects some 4-5 months back, and colorama, fractal noise and turbulant displace are my top 3 favorite effects. I just need an excuse to throw these effects on any of my abstract compositions.
@@sneharshdamani7148 I haven't used it that much, but the times I've found it useful have been for sky replacement in video editing and can possibly see potential for day-to-night effects too.
@@sneharshdamani7148 One project I used colorama was in creation of basic surface for 2D planets, in combination with VR Fractal, ccSphere effects, I also used it in cration of Northern Lights Aurora. mainly I use it in abstract designs cause it has scores of presets for various color combos.
This effect seems like it could be very useful for creating a matte to use for other effects to impact just the shadows or highlights. Or if the scene has an obvious natural gradient of dark to light, maybe even a cheap depth map.
Thanks! I’ve wanted to understand colorama forever. I’m guessing I will in a few more months. I’ve almost always used preset palettes because it’s difficult to understand. It still is…
amazing tutorial as always. also here in 14:38 actually you have 2 more ways to solve this issue the firet way is by pre-comping your layer mask and the other way is by changing the source dropdown menu to effects&masks then you can put a transform effect on your mask layer and try to scale it back to normal :D
I think I figured out channels. Channels are the components that go into the end result of a video or image. Colors, brightness, etc. Once I realized that there’s more to am image than it’s colors, I figured it out. I usually think of channels in terms of multiplexing.
Great tutorial. I do wish you had included how to do a text color cycle like you have in your thumb nail. I am assuming you throw a color swatch under your text--make the text a matte over the swatch, then precompose, then add colorama and key frames?
For the thumbnail I literally just changed the text colors. If you wanted to animate the color cycle then yes, probably some sort of matte with a posterize gradient so there's the same number of levels of grey as characters. Then you would want to apply colorama and animate the input phase shift.
I'm focusing on the effects that come with after effects in this series. There are a wealth of tutorials on how to use particular; is there something specific you're having trouble understanding?
This is a fantastic and very powerful effect but that color picker on Windows is it's biggest drawback. I can't understand why it is not updated to the color picker that all other effects use!
Thanks! 8 just recently made a tutorial on how I animated the intro: ua-cam.com/video/zorqDUC-aVc/v-deo.html And I use boombox from Mt Mograph for the sound effects.
But, the most important thing here is *How the hell do you delete nodes/traingels on the Output Cycle* ? Becuase im finding every time i f*ck up i have to start again
@@JakeInMotion you are absolutely right! You saved me a lot of headaches. Balieve it or not, no video shows that, and documentation on the effect is not easy to find
12:18 I believe this is the last thing the dinosaurs saw

I also love this series, Keep it up jack! I really appreciate your tutorial!
@@saifuleslam7392 it's jake not jack lol
It's a very common misspelling 😄
FINNALY! I was looking something as powerful as the Photoshop color ramp. Thanks Jake!

that was difficult effect but you made it simpler to understand...thank you...
I love your teaching style, and how easy and beginners friendly you make it for us. thank you for that.
will the GTX 1050 ti will be able to handle this effects?
@@jirehla-ab1671 i think so

we appreciate the quality tutorials, thank you !
One of the most mysterious and wonderful effects! Thanks Jake!

This is what I've been dreaming of for a long time ;-) Ae effects explanations. That's gorgeous, thanks a lot !
Great tutorial. You explain it very well in detail how it works. But it is still hard to follow for beginners. Is anyone else feeling this way?
It can be used for various project. So powerful effect. Thank you Jake:)
Wow this does so much more than a simple Tint or Tritone can do. I think I'll be using this a lot, thanks.
Really you are too good, i am watching your videos one by one. It is great learning. Thank you for great videos.
Great overview! I wish the output cycle could be enlarged like the Curves effect can be.
Thank you for this. Love the effect but great to see all the controls and parameters in use and what they can do. Thank you again :)
wow - what a cool effect - def nice to see so many practical uses too!! .. def underrated effect - great video!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Been waiting for this one!
Brilliant tutorial
Thank you so much for this awsome tutorial! Finally I have a little better understanding of Colorama :)
Fantastic tutorial! Thank you

I never use this effect before...after this I think 🤔 I can use...so thanks buddy

great stuff....could this be used to create specific masking and then some form of image transitions???
There must be a way to delete one or more of the little triangles around the Colorama Output Cycle circle right ?
Ah, found it. if one clicks on the little triangle and drags it away from the circle it disappears.
Make a tutorial of particular plugin

hey man love your intro how you make such animation with texts so clean and where do you get such smooth sound effects. appreaciate help.

@@JakeInMotion Highlly appreciate your job man. much obliged.
My colour grading is going to be so hindered now that I know I can do this
Control Click adds a point to the wheel, does anyone know how to remove a point?
Click and drag it away from the color wheel.
@@JakeInMotion you legend! I can’t believe how little documentation there is for this! 😃

I'm not at my computer but I believe you just click and drag the triangle out and away from the effect panel.
@@JakeInMotion you are absolutely right! You saved me a lot of headaches. Balieve it or not, no video shows that, and documentation on the effect is not easy to find
Why everything went over my head
so many things to understand! colorama is not intuitive!
How to download?
Nothing to download, it's included with After Effects.
3:35 it’s crappy features like this color window that make me so mad sometimes. Like, we pay 60 euros a month for this dated crap
