Here are 5 useful effects can help you solve problems and create interesting looks. \u00a0All of these effects ship with After Effects!<\/h2>\n

\"Adobe<\/p>\n

Check out these 5 filters and effects to improve the look and style of your video editing and motion design projects. \u00a0Get better looking video without having to purchase third party plugins!<\/p>\n

Set Matte\/Remove Color Matting<\/h2>\n

When you purchase design elements\u00a0(ink, smoke, and fireworks) they often come on a black\/white \u00a0background. You can quickly strip out the background of these elements using Set Matte in Adobe After Effects. \u00a0<\/strong>First, apply the effect. \u00a0Then, change “Use for Matte” from Alpha to Luminance. \u00a0Note: if the background is white, click “Invert Matte”.<\/p>\n

An issue you may have with footage on black is fringing, so add Remove Color Matting<\/strong> to fix that. \u00a0You can also change the color of the element by applying Generate > Fill<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

CC Light Sweep<\/h2>\n

CC Light Sweep is an After Effects filter that gives you that ‘light moving across a logo’ look that you see constantly on TV. It may be overused but it is a popular effect and is easily done with CC Light Sweep<\/strong>. The CC stands for Cycore Effects<\/strong>, a set of useful third party effects that are bundled with Adobe After Effects<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

First, apply CC Light Sweep to your text. \u00a0Then, animate the “Center” to move it across your text. \u00a0Customize the look with the width, intensity and thickness settings. \u00a0This After Effects light sweep looks\u00a0particularly\u00a0 good with the “Bevel Alpha”effect or “Bevel and Emboss” layer style.<\/p>\n

\"CC<\/p>\n

Roughen Edges\/Burn Film<\/h2>\n

Grungy\/distressed text is a popular look you see often in commercials, and one that’s easily created in After Effects. \u00a0Roughen Edges<\/strong> is handy for quickly creating distressed\/grunge text instead of using brushes in Photoshop. \u00a0Pick one of the Rusty or Photocopy Edge Types, and increase Border and Edge Sharpness for a more distressed look.<\/p>\n

\"Roughen<\/a><\/p>\n

Photocopy Edge Type:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Roughen<\/a><\/p>\n

You can also apply additional After Effects filters to further customize the grunge look. \u00a0CC Burn Film\u00a0<\/strong>isn’t subtle but can provides an interesting distressed look combined with Roughen Edges (you can\u00a0animate the Burn setting to create a Burn On\/Off Animation).<\/p>\n

Use After Effects\u00a0Brainstorm<\/strong> to experiment and create randomized looks by combining multiple effects. Select the effects in the timeline and click the Brainstorm icon. Read more on using After Effects Brainstorm at Adobe’s After Effects help site.<\/a><\/p>\n

CC Composite<\/h2>\n

If you have ever needed to apply an effect to a layer and combine the two, CC Composite<\/strong> is the tool to use. \u00a0It allows you to composite an effect on a layer. \u00a0If I apply fast blur to a layer, the layer is just blurry, as it doesn’t have a mode or blend with its original setting. But If add CC Composite and change the composite mode<\/strong>, I can create a stylized look. \u00a0In the example below I used Fast Blur & CC Toner. \u00a0I often use adjustment layers to create effects like this, but CC Composite is handy when you need to do this on the layer itself.<\/p>\n

\"CC<\/p>\n

\"Original<\/p>\n

Color Finesse<\/h2>\n

Color Finesse is another third party effect that is bundled with After Effects<\/strong>. \u00a0For those used to doing color correction<\/strong> in an editing app like FCP<\/strong> or Premiere Pro<\/strong>, it will look familiar. It gives you traditional color correction tools like a 3 way color corrector, secondary color correction and \u00a0scopes. You can choose a simplified or full interface, and there is a Gallery where you can apply common looks like Bleach Bypass<\/strong> or pick a film stock.<\/p>\n
