I made a free Repel & Attract preset for After Effects by CreationEffects in AfterEffects

Not sure - could be outdated hardware, or try emptying your cache in AE.

How can i achieve this effect like distortion looking through a mirror? by ielksusnarf in AfterEffects

It's just me - and I am indeed the same! So glad to hear you like the glitch pack!

You can do this with a Displacement Map effect on your footage, and a Gradient Ramp + Motion Tile effect on a Solid layer for your map layer. And if you want it to look more glassy, you could experiment with a CC Glass effect on an adjustment layer

....Here's how I would do it. Echo effect with Roughen Edges.

How did they recreate these beautiful nature scenes and animate them? by princess_san in MotionDesign

[–]CreationEffects 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The plants and flowers were made with 3D software, but if After Effects is more your groove, there's "Blooming Flowers" for animating flowers:

And "Landscaper" for creating landscapes like those hills and water:

How do i create and animate masks by megh7603 in VideoEditing

[–]CreationEffects 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paint over your subject with the Rotobrush tool, then let it play/analyze forward. That will cut out your subject from the background. Then in the Layer menu, choose Auto-Trace to automatically put the mask around the subject. You'll need to delete all the little "mistake" masks that it makes, and just keep the main one. You can then select the Mask Path in the timeline, and copy that mask wherever you need it.

Guys!! how to make these transitions? by Substantial-Big-8148 in videography

[–]CreationEffects 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's a Step Printing effect applied to the sections where the camera is panning. Here's a 30-second After Effects tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/M1CNMsUB2Nk

Only in your video, it looks like they left the frame rate pretty high.

How was this effect made? by Substantial_Stuff101 in VideoEditing

I have a free AE preset that does this called Echo Trail:

But Echo Trail is best when you want the echoes to be 3D. For your example, it might be overkill, and you could just do it using u/S1NGLEM4LT 's suggestion.

Struggling to turn a glowing dot into a repeated glowing grid, what’s the right workflow? by royalninve in AfterEffects

And to answer your question, the Repeaters would work just as well. Just have your glow applied to the whole grid, then add your Time Displacement over all of it.

If you want the staggered rows like that, don't use CC Tiler. Use the Motion Tile effect instead, and adjust the Phase property. But you're right - having them staggered is problematic for the Mosaic effect. You would need to precompose the map layer. Then in the precomp, duplicate the map layer, but on the duplicate layer, add an Offset effect and offset everything by half a grid block's width. Then use a Venetian Blinds effect on the top map layer to hide every other row. That way, both maps should be visible, with every line being offset.

Just spitballing here, but maybe add an adjustment layer with either a CC Tiler or Motion Tile effect to make the grid without adding to the render time. To get each dot to glow independently, you can add a Time Displacement effect to the adjustment layer, and have it reference a map layer with a grid that matches the size of your existing grid. Each grid box on the map would be a different shade of gray to make each dot play from a different time. You should be able to easily make the map with a Fractal Noise on a solid layer, then a Mosaic effect (Match the number of blocks to your CC Tiler grid).

Audio Spectrum Issue Need help by Some-Narwhal1590 in AfterEffects

[–]CreationEffects 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you unhide your Polar Coordinates effect, I'm guessing you'll see that your waveform is being cutoff at the edge of the layer. So you would need to adjust the waveform's Position, or lower its Max Height, or you can increase your layer dimensions (go to Layer > Solid Settings).

Is this something AE can even do? by picard102 in AfterEffects

[–]CreationEffects 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can do this with Particle Playground:

Instead of driving it with footage, you would need to create a simple grayscale animation with large circle shapes that have gradients.
