CC Particle Systems II + CC Particle World | Effects of After Effects

In this very long tutorial, I explain how to use the CC Particle Systems II and CC Particle World effects in Adobe After Effects. Both effects are fantastic particle emitters that come with After Effects and can create amazing effects. CC Particle Systems II is a 2D particle emitter, while CC Particle World is a 3D particle emitter. Both have very similar sets of controls, so make sure you watch this video in order as I don't go back and explain repeated controls in CC Particle World.

I don't know why this doesn't have more views. I've been using particles in AE for YEARS and I've never seen a more interesting, in depth breakdown of how these effects work (AND IT WAS INTERESTING! I actually didn't fall asleep during an AE tuturoial!) Thank you soo much for this!!

[giovannidigitalart]

2 seconds in and is already worth the time. Love it

[chaardewar]

Excellent quality playlist ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ haven't seen so informative videos in a while

[ahmedgames]

Believe in yourself, our determination is sotNice tutorialng that never lets us down

[enitgraphics]

I have never seen such an expert before. Every bit of explanation always gives me understanding. Thanks for the impact, I will share your videos to my colleagues.

First of all, the amount of work you put into this is incredible. I took your PS & AI Unleashed course (which I highly recommend) and you have this amazing ability to break down complex subjects and make them accessible to novices. The fact that you are putting this out for free is astounding. Seriously, if there was an award for Best Tutorial, you would win it :D

Secondly, people swear by plugins such as Particular, but what this video really shows is that with patience and creativity, you can create some amazing things in vanilla AE. I myself had to pause and go back a couple times, because my mind had wandered off thinking of all the possibilities. Truly inspirational!

Can't believe this is on YouTube, learned a lot. . You're awesome.... thank you so much

[charliethurs]

Amazing! Never thought I’d understand partial systems

[mordekaihorowitz]

Thank you so much for the expression at about 7:40 or so.

[sallyren]

Hey!!! I wanna Shout out to said THANK I am new to the after effect and also self-taught，been using after effect for a year getting to know basic and so keen to learn more cool and effective effect.

Thank you so much, please make more tutorials like tNice tutorials. You explain better than any other guide I've seen on youtube, very clear and

[nukenuki]

Great tutorial, thank you. I'll be returning to this and your other tutorials. I'm glad I didn't just try to "play" with it, as I have with many effects in this and other programs...without your tutorial, I would have missed a lot and completely wouldn't have understood why some controls even existed, because they would have appeared to do nothing at all. Some effects and programs by Adobe, I find are fairly intuitive, this isn't one of them. Thank you again.

[logikaone]

There are so many particle emitters it's impossible to know which one to use. I wish there was one that shot out lens flares.
