This is such an awesome looking effect. Amazing tutorial!
Thanks again! Really glad you like the tutorial!
I love to find ben Marriott in the comments, its like a Seal of motion quality
This unlocks so much creativity
This was exactly what I needed thank you! I also added gate weave with the 'wiggle' expression so it looks even more retro!
With this tutorial alone, you can explore the program super well and easily. Gonna recomend this to every begginer!
That fractal noise technique for the dust tho-love it! Great tutorial
Dude, You Rock! :)

Thank you bro. With a mixture of this video and another one I was able to get the exact effect I wanted. Love your teaching style and super chill voice.
Wow, this is awesome. So many little details which makes the final composition marvelous. Today I watched like 20 trail techniques in AE and this is by far the most interesting one from technical point of view and from final result too. Great job keep creating amazing stuff!!

For real - I'll echo everyone else who has said this is a fantastic tutorial! You make a complicated-looking effect so straight-forward to learn. Thank you!

Using colorama on the echoes' alphas is a neat trick
Very nice tutorial, thank you so much for your generosity of time. Much appreciated.
killer tut, thanks for share!
Thanks alot , looks awesome
The great algorithm has finally delivered for me! I've been lightweight obsessed with this sort of trail effect recently and playing around with a couple stabs at it. This is way better than what I came up with though! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you! Glad you like the intro, maybe one day I'll do a tutorial on some of the techniques! Regarding the fading background trails they actually are made using the same method as this tutorial; using the echo effect and colorama to change the colours!

Bro, thank you for this tutorial, I just finish my poster at 2:30 am because it’s inspired me so much 😂
Damn that dust technique was :o Learnt something new. Thanks Man!
Glad to hear you found it useful!
I love it when i'm checking a tutorial for one specific effect and suddenly i'm Flabbergasted by learning something as simple but effective as the loopOut functions. Goddam how wasn't i aware of this?
There are some really nice techniques here.
Thank you, glad you like it!
any chance you'll be uploading more tutorials? these are the best oh my goodness they're beautiful
Nice!!!!!
Awesome
Great tutorial, thanks for sharing!!!... Greetings.
You're welcome, thank you!
Love this, could you do a tutorial on the ball animation (delay effect)
If you add "CC Composite" at the end of the effect stack on the trail layer, you don't need the fill layer. Nice tut.
Thanks man, that’s a really good shout!
awesome
Your knowledge of after effects inner workings is really impressive. I know the software well for my purposes, but would love to have a more advanced understanding of how all the effects work intricately. What is your recommendation for a course in mo graph? Something that covers the levels to colorama parameters to expressions on timing. Thanks!
really cool! i actually watch these videos on mute and on 4x speed bc i only wanna see how you procced to do it and to see if i'd do it the same way and after this i'm trying to redo it without watching the video to get better in ae :D
That’s a really good technique to learn and improve!
Nice one
I usually don't prefer tutorials that use presets instead of hand animation, but you really sold me on this one! Super clean and a really informative, in-depth tutorial! thankyou :)
been here before 100K

Hello!
First of all, thanks for sharing this simple but amazing effect. I’m happy to test it myself thanks to you.
A quick question: Why do you create an adjustment layer per effect instead of stacking the effects inside a single adjustment layer?
AMAZING tutorial! Hope you don't mind my unsolicited audio suggestion, but you should check out the RX8 "de-click" effect. It helps eliminate the sounds of lip smacking noises in voiceover audio :D Thanks for this great vid!
thanks
thankyou
There's a photograph by William Klein that inspired me to make something similar to the balls moving. Didn't think that I would accidentally land on a tutorial that perfectly shows how to achieve what I want lol
came from reddit this is the shit man! keep it up
Thank you!
Why did this guy stop posting videos?! HE WAS INCREDIBLE!
Is it possible to change the color of the star dust at the end (instead of white) ? Thank you !
Really solid tutorial! My one question would be is there any reason not to have the adjustments (cc/blur/noise/glow) on one adjustment layer? Did you set up this way so can see what each effect does to the overall composition?
Thank you, that's a really great question! You can definitely combine those effects onto one adjustment layer, and if you already know you only want to add a bit of noise and some blur it will be a bit quicker to do that rather than creating and labelling a new layer for each one. I'm personally in the habit of having different kinds of adjustments on separate layers. I've found when experimenting and building looks and effects it's much quicker and easier to be able to turn off, duplicate, tweak or isolate different adjustments if they are separated, as sometimes you can end up with plenty of effects stacked up and it can get a bit time consuming trying to go through the effects control panel to find things.
What's up @mographmill, could you please tell me roughly how you did the rotating text going from X to Y at the 0:07 mark please ?
Great tutorial! does it just worksI was only work in Text or shape layers? I just tried to do the effect on an imported image and it doesn´t work.
Great tuorial! unfortunately it's not working with png or svg instead of text. Is there a workaround? I'd like to aply this effect on my Logo - thanks!
Here from reddit
can it apply in 3d space?
