0:21
adding a variety of effects to create an
0:24

highest level so without any further Ado
0:30
let's dive into after effects and start
0:36

0:49
new composition this is going to be
0:51
final hit control+n or this little icon
0:54
type here final composition for the
0:56
width and height let's go 90/20 x 1080
0:59
30 frames per seconds and duration uh
1:02
leave whatever number you want I will
1:04
leave it to around 10 seconds like usual
1:07
hit okay and now let's create background
1:09
go right click to create new solid layer
1:11
this is going to be Background 90/20 by
1:14
1080 also full HD and then hit okay now
1:18
let's add our first effect go here in

1:39
number
1:40
150
1:42
600 now hit okay and now it's time to
1:45
create another solid layer go right
1:47
click to create new solid layer I will
1:49
rename this one to fractal noise just FN
1:53
hit okay then go here again in the fa
1:55
and preset find fractal noise effect
1:58
drag and drop onto the layer
2:00
and here let's also make a few
2:01
adjustments for the contrast let's type
2:03
here 600 for the brightness maybe
2:06
aroundus 25 okay for the complexity

2:17
will type here time
2:19
asterisk 100 okay and for the next
2:23
effect let's also add emboss Dragon drop
2:26
onto the fractal noise and as you can
2:28
see now we have the this movement of our
2:32
emboss and fractal noise effects now
2:34
let's precompose fractal noise solid
2:37
layer go right click precompose and then
2:39
make sure to move all attributes into
2:41
the new composition and this is going to
2:44
be background roughness and then hit
2:48
okay now let's add first effect on the
2:51
new composition go here in the facts and
2:53
preset find Triton effect Dragon drop
2:56

3:29
to change this highlights color to maybe

both composition go here in effects and
3:43
pres find unsharp mask double click okay
3:48
and for the amount let's go to around
3:50
250 and radius instead of one type here
3:54
maybe to around
3:56
three okay now let's create another
3:58
solid layer go right click to find here
4:00
new solid layer this is going to be
4:02
particles 90/20 by 1080 hit okay and now
4:06
let's add our next effect go here in the
4:09
effects and pres it find CC particle
4:12
World okay drag and drop onto the
4:14
particle solid layer and let's also make
4:17
a few adjustments here in this effect
4:20
for this longevity option type here
4:22
seven instead of one okay now let's open
4:26

5:56
animation is looking something like this
6:00
okay in every moment you can go here
6:02

6:05
option radius and everything else now
6:10
let's precompose the particle solid
6:12
layer hit here then go right click
6:14
precompose those are going to be
6:16
particles make sure to move all
6:18
attributes into the new composition and
6:20

7:13
visibility to around
7:14
70% okay now let's close this effects
7:17
control for now and then let's duplicate

let's go to around three okay now let's

7:58
also on the composition like this and
8:01
for the amount let's type here 3,000 for

8:34
composition and for the choke mat type
8:36
here
8:38
0.30 okay now let's duplicate this
8:41
particles composition once again hit
8:43
control+ D first let's change blending
8:46
mode from lighten to normal hit also T4
8:49
opacity instead of 10 type here 20 and
8:53
then delete all effect under this Vector
8:56
blur effect turbulent displays glow and
8:59
simple Joker and now in our final scene
9:02
when we hit zero we have an animation of
9:06
our cool particles here in the finals
9:09
and this is looking really
9:12
cool okay now let's also create another
9:15
solid layer here in the finals go right
9:17
click to create new solid layer this is
9:19
going to be L flare 9020 x 1080 also hit
9:24
okay and then go in the effects and pres
9:26
it find Field Effect drag and drop onto
9:28
the lens layer solid layer and this is
9:31
important step to change color to pure
9:33
black color because of blending mode
9:35
later on hit okay and then also add lens
9:38
flare effect okay drag and drop onto the
9:41
solid layer and here let's also make a
9:43
few adjustments for the lens type change
9:46
here to 105 mm Prime PL with original
9:50
40% and let's also add third effect this
9:53
is going to be Gan blur and for the blur
9:56
let's type here
9:58
150
9:59
now let's change blending mode from
10:01
normal to add and also hit here again on
10:04
the lens flare and readjust the point
10:07
maybe upper right corner somewhere
10:09
around here this is looking cool to me
10:12
and for the final step hit as for
10:14
scaling I will do maybe to around 102
10:17
just to prevent this color bending on
10:20
the edges now let's create a few
10:22
adjustment layers go right click to
10:24
create new adjustment layer this is
10:26
going to be light race okay and then go
10:30
here in the fact and preset like usual
10:32
and find light race effect Dragon job
10:35
onto the adjustment layer and here let's
10:38
also make a few adjustments for the
10:40
radius let's type here 60 and for the
10:43
warp softness change here to 400 also
10:46
uncheck this option color from source
10:49
and change color to this hexa code 93
10:53
0011 you can also play around with your
10:56
colors but for me this is looking cool
10:59
now now hit here on this light race
11:01
again and you can readjust Point
11:03
according your needs I will do somewhere
11:06
around here okay I will close this
11:09
effect control for now and let's also
11:11
create a new adjustment layer go right
11:13
click to create new adjustment layer
11:15
this is going to be noise go here in the
11:18
facts and pres it find noise effect drag
11:21
and drop onto the adjustment layer
11:23
uncheck this option use color noise and
11:26
type here 2% now let's also create
11:29
another adjustment layer go right click
11:31
to create new adjustment layer again
11:34
this is going to be exposure okay find
11:37
here exposure in the fa and pres it drag
11:39
and drop onto the adjustment layer and
11:41
for the exposure type here maybe one and
11:45
also for our final step you can create
11:48
another adjustment layer this is going
11:49
to be camera lens BL but before that you
11:52
can play around here with the exposure
11:53
maybe instead of one go to around
11:56
0.75 or according your needs go right
12:00
click again find here new adjustment
12:02
layer this is going to be camera lens
12:05
blur if you don't have enough strong PC
12:08
to support this camera lens blur effect
12:10
just go and find Gan blur I will do
12:14
camera lens PL okay drag and drop onto
12:18
the adjustment layer and also let's
12:21
create a mask here for this effect
12:23
select this adjustment layer go here on
12:26
this rectangle option hold left Mouse
12:28
click find ellipse tool and then just
12:31
double click to create a mask for our
12:34
adjustment layer now hit M to see the
12:37
mask of the selected layer to see the
12:39
mask of the camera lens blue and then go
12:41
just double click you can reposition the
12:44
mask of the adjustment layer and you can
12:47
also turn on the titles and action save
12:49
to better seeing boundaries of the
12:51
adjustment layer I will go somewhere
12:53
around here also for the right side
12:55
somewhere around here and also hit here
12:58
option
12:59
inverted and for the blue Radiance
13:02
instead of five just hit here 10% and
13:05
now as you can see on our edges we have
13:08
this cool camera lens blue effect I will
13:11
turn off those titles and action save
13:13
for now now hit M again for the mask
13:16
open up the mask property and for the
13:18
mask feather I will type
13:21
250 and as you can see in our finals our
13:24
scene is looking great now it's time to
13:27
precompose everything hit control+ a or
13:30
select everything then go right click to
13:33
precompose this is going to be scene or
13:36
type your own name here and then hit
13:38
okay and now in our finals when we hit
13:41
zero animation is looking really cool
13:45
and really awesome if you want to see
13:47
particles from the beginning just hit on
13:50
this scene composition and move it on
13:52
the left side to see the beginning of
13:55
Animation somewhere around here you can
13:58
also create cre longer composition here
14:00
in the beginning we have created
14:02
composition of 10 seconds but you can
14:04
create composition of I don't know 1
14:07
minute or so and hit zero on your
14:10
keyboard and this is looking great and
14:13
