After Effects Tip – Missing animation presets

I’ve had a couple of people ask me why they don’t seem to have any of the animation presets that I often used in my tutorials. At first, I thought they might be using rather wonky copies of After Effects, or perhaps just the demo version.


However, I’ve since found out that After Effects CS5 has the effects presets hidden by default – not sure about Adobe’s reasoning for this, but there you go.
So – if you’re among those wondering where the heck these presets are, I’ve put together a really short video tip on where to find them.

After Effects Tutorial – De-rezzing your video, pt4

In the fourth and final part of this series, I’ll show you two more techniques that you can use to give your projects that tech grunge look. The first is a travelling black bar (like you get when you film old CRT monitors), the second is a quick way to create a colour separation effect.


If you’re a registered user, you can download both of the project files used in this series from here. CS5-only, I’m afraid.
