Thank you! Great tutorial! This was easier than what I was doing. Just a suggestion for others who wants to use expression, you can just apply toComp(value) to the anchor point and position of transform effect and the center of bulge effect and you will still achieve the same effect with no issue as well :)
Do you guys normally rig objects before animating anything? People have different approaches, and a lot of times rigging can save time in the long run - what’s your take on this?
Thanks for this great tutorial - so simple to understand and works a treat. I managed to create a magnify glass effect a couple of years back, but it was nowhere near as simple and functional as this one! :)
Hi, love this tutorial, very useful, thank you. I am running into one issue though... When I am hovering over the object, it seems make what's underneath a bit blurry. I have continuous rasterize activated and also switched off the buldge effect. But that all doesn't do it... :-( Any ideas what the problem might be? When doing some research, it seems this is a common thing with the magnify effect :-( Maye you know of a workaround? Thank you!!
yeah it's normal that you lose details, because the bulge effects it's raster effect (not vector). The workaround would be to have the comp at double the resolution, then you drag this comp into a new comp, scale down 50% and reduce also the dimensions of this new comp, Cheers
Excellent tutorial and a great way to achieve this effect! Do you have any idea why my text would be showing up blurry in the magnified area? Great job!
Clever effect and excellent tutorial! I'm having one minor problem- when the anchor point of the null control object leave the edge of the composition, I get a weird transparent strip along that edge of the composition under the adjustment layer. I'm not sure where I went wrong. Could you point me in the right direction? Thanks for the tutorial!
Johnny Taylor Thank you! Hmm, I’m not quite sure why this is happening. One way to fix it would be scaling up your background, so it just shows a bit more of that rather than transparency.
Hey there! Thank you for this tutorial! Quick question: Intro note: I am using Magnify effect instead of Transform + Bulge, should simplify things since you only need to pick-whip one parameter inside the Effects panel I have an illustration of a skeleton (made with Duik Bassel 2) holding a magnifying glass and I am trying to parent the magnifying glass layer, as well as the magnifying effect, to the layer that controls the hand of my skeleton. It was pretty simple to pick-whip the magnifying glass layer to the control ('hand') layer, but the magnifying effect still does not follow the previous one. Do you have any idea of what am I missing? Perhaps some expression to apply to the Center parameter of Magnify effect besides the pick-whip? Thanks in advance!
I would try using the “toComp(value);” expressions on the parameter that controls the positioning of the magnifying glass effect. That should make it stick. Let me know if that works out.
@@OliverRandorff var previousLayerPosition = thisComp.layer("previous layer").transform.position; var adjustX = 170; var adjustY = 170; var newX = previousLayerPosition[0]+adjustX; var newY = previousLayerPosition[1]+adjustY; [newX,newY]
Excellent tutorial! thanks a lot!, the only issue I had was with mi Ai file, I use it as an Ai to preserve transparency of the glass, when I tried to convert it to shape layer, the transparency was gone and I got a solid black glass on my drawing, any advice on that?
Luis Bonilla No problem! I’ve gotten that issue myself and the only way to fix it is by going inside the shape layer, changing the color of the glass back and adjusting the opacity of the shape. As of now I use a tool called overlord to import shapes from illustrator to after effects. It costs roughly 40-50$, but is worth every penny. I use it in every single project of mine.

Thanks. This method is much better than using the magnify effect
Really clear concise explanation with nice extra options for animating the magnifying glass at the end. Thanks
Thanks Oliver! it was a great help and clearly able to understand how to make it. Thanks again for sharing the tutorial in such an easy and quick way
Glad to hear that you found it easy - you are very welcome!
@@OliverRandorff But whenever we export anything in AE or photoshop to a GIF it leaves grains on the final output, Any idea why it happens?

@@diptiwani2241 render it out in higher quality, with a better bitrate
thanks oliver, I have been trying to figure this one out for a long time. Worked perfectly!
Glad I could help you out!
Thank you! It's really helpful for my project. Subscribed!
Glad to hear that, thanks 🤟
Fantastic tutorial. Thank you, it's exactly what I have been looking for.

Thanks bro, I really needed this
Very helpful!! Thank you very much you saved my life!!!!
Wow. Simple and perfect tutorial. Good job👌
Thanks a lot 🤘
This is amazing THANK YOU SO MUCH!
You are very welcome!
very helpful. thanks man
really clear explanation omg, so easy to understand for newbie like me, big thanks to you bro!
So glad that I could help 🙌🙌
Great job thanks, I removed the null layer for mine but this worked a treat thanks!
This is very good, thanks, maybe i can use it
Glad to hear that!
loved your work thanks for your video :)
Do you guys normally rig objects before animating anything? People have different approaches, and a lot of times rigging can save time in the long run - what’s your take on this?
it depends on how long is the animation and the complexity of movement
Ahmad Mansour for sure - simple movements often don’t need much rigging
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
It's really great! Thanks for the tutorial dude! 👏🏽👏🏽
Great, but what if I want the magnifying glass to rotate at the handle and not the center of the glass?
Excellent, thank you!
Thanks a lot!!!
! Great tutorial!
That was great man, simple and to the point, thanks!
Amazing Tutorials.Your idea and style is great. Thanks a lot brother

Thanks! Maybe it’s scaled too much? It will become blurry if overdone.

Ell_DESIGNXX Thanks! Hope it’s useful
thanks ;)
Is it possible whether I can use the magnify on the current image, but I can insert another image into the magnify view?
You should be able to do that if you mask out that other image and parent it
awesome !!
Valeria martinez vergara Thanks!
Is it possible to just move the center, but "display" the magification somewhere else?
Try playing around with the anchor point. That may work

Lower the opacity
