Music video preset.



Need to make a handheld shakey "tryn" to focus effect? but don't want the sharp jitters of a real handheld? Shoot your actor or artist with your cam on a tripod. Bring it into after effects and use Shaker to give some life to your footage. I made it with the intention of using it o music videos, which is what i will be working on, however after playing around with it i discoverde that its useful for a dreamy confused feel if you duplicate the footage and ofset it 5-10 pixels off, so IDK it's useful for many other things experiment with it, im sure you guys will finde it useful for other things. And its all free, just give me or this blog a small bit of credit, we appreciate it.

New Streak and film burn pack!


Wuts up. This is a small pack i put together of streaks, flares and film burns i made for certaint projects.. They have come in very helpful hope you enjoy them...  If you are having trouble, or don't know how to usethem. There is a PDF along with the pack. Basically you set them to a transfer mode: either "add", "screen" or "color dodge." Now if you want more control. You can use Knoll Unmult to remove the black matte. I also created the MotionPRO pack but unlike that i didn't make an alpha channel since i never realy intended to use them withone. Ok have fun with them. And let me know what you think right in the comment section. Peace!
