After Effects Tutorial - Spark Particles Quick VFX

thx

Thanks

For those wondering about the lack of 'Fast Blur' in more recent versions of AE, please try 'Gaussian Blur' instead of the recommended Fast Box Blur - Gaussian does the same job and the settings are the same as seen on screen in this tutorial. You could use Fast Box Blur, but the settings are different to those shown in the tutorial, which may confuse some users at that crucial end point. Gaussian Blur provides the same great result as seen in the video.

10/10 tutorial! Fast, clean, no rambling, and now my project looks sooo much better than what I was going to hand in - thank you! I've subbed.

hi.. how can I make the spark like already there.??
I want to make like fireworks fountain..
but not start from small spark..
i want to make the spark already big and have constant animation like that..

thank you..

This was so helpful! I have only one question: i can’t find the fast blur effect 🥺🥺 what can I do?

Just trying to find the video from this tutorial. It seem it gone now.

i cant seem to get the expression to work, AE is telling me theres an error but im sure im copying it exactly how you have it

Not sure what happened, but after entering the expression (which has no errors), the number next to birth rate is in red at 0.0, and I can alter it, but as soon as I accept a new number (20 as you said in the video, but any number) it reverts back to 0.0 in red, and no sparks are showing up in my comp. Not sure what I did wrong. Expressions are my weakness in after effects for sure.

I know this tut is old, but seems like a basic VFX skill worth knowing!

Hi, how to increase the time between each particle explosion?

My way is make real sparks

very nice tutorial

Love you for posting this.

Jesus christ this guy is VASCULAR

gonna use this for my lightsaber vfx

not finding the exact expression, hope you would yput mentoined easily

can i get the exact expression right here?

Exactly what i needed, well explained and quick! Thanks!

Thanks for the sparks tutorial, Tobias.

Great job. Excellent at teaching. How did you do the effect at the end when you threw something at screen?

Great tutorial!! But my only problem is what if i want the spark to come out on a very specific time of the video? And i want it to appear for only 1 sec?

Thanks for the tutorial .

Thank you! created some awesome sparks today. Great Tutorial!

Can someone type the expression here in the comments? I've been trying to do this effect in my After Effects, and I didn't make it. I think is something I had typed wrong...

thanks for making from start. u r the best

Great video

Can you show me how to do After Effects Tutorial in hit film express I cant do it its too difficult for me to understand... Can you help me though...

Great tutorial dude - really learned a lot! Thank you.

good, but you should say how better make that sparks apears and disapeares realistic

How to create real sparks? Just like when Power Rangers start slashing bad guys. That kind of sparks.

this was easy and very very helpful thank you a lot you are awesome man

CC particle world says it only supports 8 and 16

you are great thanks so much!

How can I do it if I want to make the source of the spark move, but maintaining the birth position of the resulting spark but only the emitter move's

Great Video, I really like the intro!

Nice tutorial bud, gave me everything I needed :)

Does this work with hitfilm express

Hello sir
Give me birth rate code

sir inspiration vfx for u

Nice sir

thanks a lot

This is my first attempt with After Effects, and I have 1 quick question: How do I set the sparks so that they do not repeat at all... I want them to occur only when two objects collide (so I plan to have the effect begin at the point of impact in the main clip). Thanks for this great tutorial!

COOL!

you should put the expression on the description thanks

Bra you are awesome

+Surfaced Studio How do you make the particles appear at preset times instead of random ones (like you did with your hand). I am making a lightsaber battle scene and need the sparks to appear only when the lightsabers collide.

One question about the physics plane: is there a way to create more than one without making more of the same effect?

Thank you so much for this tutorial! This helped me a lot. Subscribed!

how can i slow down the speed of the sparks when the fall? Ive tried lowering the birth rate and velocity but it doesnt seem that either of these slow down the speed that the sparks fall
