TV Show Intro / Promo Using After Effects CS6 and Cinema 4D – Part 2
In this tutorial we take a look at creating a show intro/promo using both After Effects CS6 and C4D. Using the 3D Camera Track in After Effects, we track our footage and send the camera data over to C4D for text design and rendering. Then in part 2 we take a look at compositing the final scene in After Effects.
Thanks to John Gumaer for the sound design for the Retooled and Promo intros.

After Effects CS6 – 3D Extrusions and Raytracing!
This is perhaps the biggest new After Effects CS6 feature, and yet, we haven’t made a tutorial for it. Why you may ask? Well, being busy making all of these other tutorials, it was very hard to spend the time to cover the in depth new 3D features found in After Effects CS6. Another factor in this decision was that all of our systems are Mac based. Not to say that the new feature is not compatible with Macs, that is not the case at all. However, it does rely heavily on NVIDIA CUDA technology, which most Macs are no longer sold with (hopefully this will change soon). Again, to clarify, that doesn’t mean you can’t use it on a Mac or PC system without an NVIDIA card, but it is quite slow to work with to say the least.

After Effects CS6 – Bounding Boxes
This tutorial covers the new bounding box feature in After Effects CS6. With this feature, you can easily visualize the edges of your layers, making layers more discoverable and easy to work with. The video goes into detail about the simple and more advanced benefits of these display elements. One of the greatest new features is the ability to snap anchor points to corners, edges, and the center of layers.

Photo Multi-Plane in After Effects
In this tutorial, we show you how to break your image into 3D planes, and do a 3D camera move to simulate motion. You’ve seen it in documentaries. You’ve seen it in TV shows. Now you can do it yourself. It’s the Ken Burns effect on steroids
