  • In this tutorial, we'll unleash an effect so out-of-the-box, Adobe decided to leave it out of the effects menu - CC Time Blend FX. Using a very simple premise (the ability to loop other effects), we'll quickly turn effects like Turbulent Displace and Offset into unpredictable swirling transitions and organic smoke effects. To "activate" CC Time Blend Effects, download the preset from Cycore FX below....
    2024 Update! I posted the project file for free here:

    This channel keeps blowing my mind, truly. I discovered it back when the Text Bleed effect video came out and I was obsessed with trying to replicate it in After Effect and didn't find anything that would allow for things to work like "actions" and just continually re-apply the same effect incrementally. Ben Marriot tried to and I worked well but now how I envisioned it, and here we are and you guys come up with this unused effect to figure it out.
    I've been watching tutorials for more than a decade and this is the only channel that comes up with really innovative things. This channel could easily become the Video Copilot for motion and graphic designers once it gets even more eyes on it.
    Thank you so much for the work and I'm going to put my next paycheck to work by supporting this channel on Pateron

    • @Texturelabs
      @Texturelabs  Před 2 lety +4

      Nice! As it happens, that Color Bleed video was actually 100% based on messing around with Time Blend Fx. So the funny thing is I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to get the effect out of AE and into Photoshop!
      And thank you for the kind words about the channel. There are definitely some solid channels out there… the exciting stuff seems to be more AE than Photoshop with Marriott, Jake in Motion, +++. But the Kramer videos were from some other planet! So it’s very cool to even be considered somewhere in the same camp.
      Cheers and thanks!

    Just.... WOW. Whole delivery of your content is simply astounding! Your ability to hold viewers focus while still sticking to the core of the topic, without shifting to jokes, or so called "creative editing" makes my soul happy and in my opinion it is in fact a very rare talent. It would be tempting, I presume, to try to "charm" the viewer with bells and whistles in narrative, or just approach the topic more lazy in terms of timimg the action presented on screen, but you tend to avoid all those traps and in the result your content magically becomes 100% informative and 100% engaging. I end watching it with "did i just actually ENJOYED A TUTORIAL...?" kind of conclusion. ;) Kudos! And thank you!

    Mind-blowing! This effect looks like something done in Trapcode, it's amazing that it's all native AE (with a super secret effect). Thanks for doing AE tutorials in addition to the Photoshop content, I get so much out of them!

      Oh that's great, glad to hear it! The AE ones are a little more challenging to put together, but working in motion is so gratifying
