The idea of using the footage as a source is brilliant. The key to make the pattern look incredible here is the Mosaic effect though, thanks for sharing this Nick!
Pro Tip: You can also use "Repeater" If you want to use shapes to animate it. ( Click The " Add > " button on the top right of the properties [ double press "u" to see the properties ] )
omg, just saw your promo for the course.. you are hilarious!! this is the best way to learn - when you don't take yourself too seriously and it's just fun. definitely buying your course. thanks man!
absolute BANGER of a tutorial. Ive just been getting started with AE and motion design and this tutorial is helpful in so many more ways than you may have intended. Thanks bro
Oho, hey! Way cool. I'd not thought about using time displacement on motion graphics like this. I'd been focused on high-frame-rate video from my phone.
This was great! I created a gradient controller for shape patterns based on this, by pre-comping what you did in the tutorial then linking the Gradient Ramp controls to an effect in the new comp. I know there's ways of achieving the same effect with expressions and an ocean of shape layers, but this was so much more CPU friendly (and I'm no expression wizard anyways).
Update. Spoke too soon. Although this did work to create a controller for creating gradient scale patterns, I of course can't animate it due to the base shape's scale being scaled over time and I had to time-freeze layer to create a working controller. At least it works for creating static designs quickly, but if I want to animate them it seems I'll have to use the other methods.
Is there something I'm missing in his "unit"? It appears that the red square is the last frame and stays that way with the gradient in place. When I try in my project, I'm having to use a time remap loopOut expression on the repetile layer, and everything continues playing around it. Tried looking for expressions to pause to see if that would work but to no avail.
Ok this is a great use of time displacement but here's my query: Notice how when you play the video, other than the time-displaced variance, they all eventually progress from circles to squares? How could we get that not to happen? In other words how could we get an animation that when played behaves the way things did when you were simply moving the gradient around? I've been chipping away at this problem of trying to get "absolute" time displacement rather than "relative" for honestly years now and I'll give a prize to anyone who can crack that nut. Thanks for the great tut!
the time displacement basically plays the video back and forth thru time. So use fractal noise that’s constantly evolving instead of a static gradient. That way (the shapes in this case) won’t ever play all the way through, they will just evolve back and forth
@@motionbynick thanks for the reply, but the gradient animating will only change how much the source is delayed or advanced. The shapes will still eventually all be squares. For example if black and white are set to -1 and +1 second, and the original clip is all squares at 4 seconds, when your playhead gets past 5 seconds even the black areas will be past the "squarification" time. Im looking for a way to have them, say, transition back to circles from 6-8 seconds (without precomping and time remapping it all). Thanks again!
@@AlexEzorskyVFX Arrived at the same problem, I wanted to have more control over time and this just didn't do it for me. Not sure if this helps, but came across this ua-cam.com/video/1UaZNcVobhg/v-deo.html For me, it solved the problem, as what I needed was a simple scale change depending on the brightness and not a complex time remapping like nick does here.
Also Nick is there any specific reason you applied the Time Displacement effect to an adjustment layer instead of directy applying it to the Pattern layer itself?
Thanks sooo much!!! U help me too much!! From Equato Just one Question! when i apply mosaic effect its only give me vertical blocks and not horizontal, any suggestion?
came here from reddit and almost insta-subbed. you're fun to watch and also a good teacher. i'm sad because you have few videos but can't wait for you to upload more! btw could you please integrate the addon to show what buttons you press? you did that in other videos. thanks for sharing this info with us man!
Hey man. Might be a total dickhead noob question.. but.. let's say I wanna use a layer for the first second of a scene(?) and then use the same one again later.. do I need to duplicate it? would i have to modulate the opacity in order to do that? I have like 5 elements so far in 14 seconds but it spans across 26 layers.. and it getting super messy. Hope to hear back. Gunna keep grindin
This technique is very clever! Really good tutorial, so much potential! thank you

I'm a huge fan of this channel man!!! I can't believe the timing of this, I have been trying to do something like this for my project :D
happy to help! 🕺🏻
how do you make the X shape. I'm stumped. Thanks
I come from Jake's channel, nice Effect by the way...and good sense of humor.
i've been looking for an effect similar to this for years. thank you
Really cool! Possibilities are endless
Awesome video. This is what I've been looking for. Thanks
Insane! Thank you Nick!!
I love this channel, nothing better then chuckling and learning.
This is wild. Love it.
Brilliant! Thanks that's given me all sorts of new ideas 🤔
haha how do you get the ripple with time displacement? I've been looking for that type of effect
Thank you for explaining this effects so clearly. I was totally mystified by this effect. I love your tutorials.
Loving the Channel!
2K24 and this tuto still GOLD thanks a lot
I'm so glad I found your channel. Thank you for everything you're doing 🔺⭕️ 🟥 ❤️ (if you use your imagination that's an animated heart)
Bro your awesome bro , create tutorial awesome always
This video was amazing man thank you so much!
This is so cool! Omg I love how it turned out!
Man you r doing some really cool things
This is very cool! Thank you!
Brilliant! I'll have to try this 👍
so cool!thanks for sharing this.
I always appreciate good informative and useful tutorials
Using Mosaic to ensure the Time Dispalcement is the same within a block - brilliant Nick!
So excited to watch !!!
nice! great idea with the mosaic!
Thank you man...this is so cool!
This opens so many possibilities for creativity, so Amazing
Hell yeah bro! Thats just what I was looking for!!!
Thank you!
Thank You very much!
In a crowded social media market of motion designer educators, Nick is inventive and delightfully quirky.
You’re so clever, Nick
thank you! 🤘
Nice creative use of displacements. Gives you a lot of ideas.
BRO! My brain is so happy, thanks for the AMAZING tips!
So so good stuff! Thx
I have seen it done with fractal as a generator for the mosaic.

Learned a lot from this, thanks!
THIS IS MAD CRAZYY
WOW bro, this is a game changer, thanks a lot for sharing
Wow, you and I have almost the same work space layout .
Gotta love RIFT, it is underrated.
This is truly amazing!
This is so amazing
I've always been suffering from duplicating a lot of assets, this is life changing thank you
Thank you so much !!! this tutorial help me a lot !!!!!
great tutorial and tips
Awesome !
Awesome tutorial, man!!! thanks so much
Nice tutorial. Can we get other advanced tutorials using time displacement? Thank you.
Fantastic tutorial, thank you
simply brilliant! amazing and smart idea of using all that...
Dude.. this is so awesome. I’ve been looking for this for ages! Thank you so much!
You had me at 'WEEEEE'!
This is awesome man. Really clever. Thanks!
absolute BANGER of a tutorial. Ive just been getting started with AE and motion design and this tutorial is helpful in so many more ways than you may have intended. Thanks bro
Is there anyway to make the purely brightness driven rather than time driven as it si right now? Because it stops working eventually
You just got a new subscriber! :-)
Thank you so much! This effect is gonna open the new doors for me.
Dude you are funny. And helpful. Thank you
This is awesome!

Thank you so much for this tutorial. It couldn’t of come at a better time 🙏🏽💯
Always on point and helpful. Thank you so much.
Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching.
How did you make the X shape. It's a shape layer but I can't figure out how to do it. Thanks
very helpful thank you
very nice tut
Awesome. Thanks!
very useful . thanks
Ooh, that effect might be pretty cool on an evolving fractal noise. Really neat!
Thank you very much! This is great! Could you share the keyboard command to bring up the effects marking menu?
It is a free tool called FX console by video Copilot
This was great!

what's that search tool that pops up that you're using?
Can you post more typographic tutorials? I love your works they are fantastic!
What was being used to control the gradient in the original example at 0:26?
can you use time displacement to change colors instead of shape sizes?
may I ask what font do u use for your bumper intro?

i just like using adjustment layers for more flexibility
Thanks sooo much!!! U help me too much!! From Equato
Just one Question! when i apply mosaic effect its only give me vertical blocks and not horizontal, any suggestion?
That's weird. What version of After Effects are you on?
@@motionbynick On just regular video it works! but when i take solid layer apply to it Gradient Ramp and then apply mosaic like you did it doesn't..
@@yofi2614 try to move the start and end of ramp.. it will work ;)
amazing
Awesome
"It's trying to reference itself, which is illegal" hahahaha.....hilarious xD
Very cool : )-
Bro can u please upload that 100x100 comp? ❤️
Hot shit! Subbed!

I started this channel not too long ago. Got a lot more videos planned! And I'm looking for a more consistent keyboard overlay thingy!!
Do you know how he made the X shape? Thanks
I know this will sound dumb but how do you make the X shape? I see that it is a shape layer but I can't figure out how to make it. Can you help?
I'm not too familiar with AE but wonder could you use a plus sign from a font, or the shape tool and reduce edge rounding?
Cool
