    FREE Download Dither Pattern: gum.co/qbhjmk
    This is an update on an old tutorial I made a year ago. Finally a REAL AND FREE PIXEL DITHER EFFECT!
    Expressions:
    Mosaic Horizontal Blocks: thisComp.width/effect("Slider Control")("Slider")
    Mosaic Vertical Blocks: thisComp.height/effect("Slider Control")("Slider")
    Slider Control: Math.round(effect("Slider Control")("Slider"))
    Dither Pattern: transform.scale*comp("Main").layer("Effects").effect("Slider Control")("Slider")
    In this tutorial I'm going to show you how you can create this 8-Bit dithering effect in After Effects without any plugins. You will learn how to use the mosaic effect, CC Repetile, Posterize, Slider Control and many Expressions.

    This might be literally the best tutorial I've ever watched. Told me exactly how to do something, but it isn't too overly-specific or obtuse for me to understand and modify for my own use.
    I wound up spinning the dither pattern layer with the Rotation property to give my graphic some extra digital grunginess.
    Other thing I did was for a smoke cloud gif I needed it to be more transparent. I set up the dithering comp and used it as a matte for my smoke. Then I did a luma key effect (since the squares are all just shades of grey it works really well) and bam, instant "fake" transparency.

      You don't prefer tutorials that spend the first 5 minutes telling you they've been away for a bit coz their dog was sick but they're back now with a quick tutorial? "Ok now the first thing you're gonna wanna do is load up after effects."

    • @codymarian_
      @codymarian_ Před 2 lety +2

      they just act differently and have different options, rendering in adobe after effects is notoriously difficult. They are always changing what file formats are supported and how they export, it also varies from pc to Mac as they natively use different codecs. Media coder for the most part is faster and more flexible but there will be times you will want to use the after effects engine itself such as rendering transparent video. Regardless it is confusing and your best option always is to play around and see what works for you!

    it's creating a bunch of lines for me on a completely white background.

    EDIT2: The rendered material, and yes, I rendered it throough media encoder, made it a mess. The blocks are not individual pixels anymore and instead a have blended and sharp mess.
