10:05 After Effects – Adding a Plugin and Some FX shenanigans

Peyton and his ball of power

The goal of working with After Effects has been to get you more comfortable adding and complimenting your animations and digital footage. Be it Blender Animations, photography or cinema production for a personal YouTube channel or stream, having a better understanding of industry tools will just make your productions that much better and put you a cut above the rest.

This morning, we’ll play with a Third Party Plug-in to AE. We’ll go over some basics for today. You’ll want to play around and see the kinds of things you can create.

We’ll do three projects together to give you a better understanding of how to use this effect.
Directions are in this resource document. Images can be found in the Saber Effects folder in the After Effects folder.

You’ll need to install the Video CoPilot Saber Plug In. Here is the link to the downloads page.

Hopefully we’ll have a little time to play around at the end. What will you come up with.
