I was one of those people you mentioned at the beginning who underestimated the glow effect.. until today. When I saw the section on color loops, I thought it would be an excellent way to recreate that iridescent look that forms on water when there's fuel or oil spilled in it. I imagined it would be a great technique to use in an animation where a thread floats on liquid contaminated with fuel. Thanks!

I have been using glow and not understanding what it actually does. Thank you for all your videos!

5:46 LUMMUS!
After I saw this you explained. Now I can animate exactly, at least almost, like in the movies. Years and years using Ae and only now I see this effect how it should. Thank you for that!

You’re probably the most awesome person ever.

at 4:48 correct me if I'm wrong but I think you meant B on the inside/core and A on the outside.

The Color Loops & Phase are really neat!
What effect did you use to hide all your pc information at 7:50 ?

So well explained! Thank you for this. Also I believe the glow behaves differently on 32bpc?? But im not sure in which scenarios that would be useful. 🤔

nice tutorial. it worked nicely for me. however, I am having trouble with the render. the glow effect is showing up as about 15% of what it is within AE. can barely see it in the rendered video. Im not sure if I rendered it improperly. im rendering in 30Mbps H261 1080p.

I see some After Effects tutorials and some of them use Solid Composite with Glow effect to add a black background within the layer. But to me it looked the same before/after applying Solid Composite. Does it have to do with alpha (Like Glow effects create glow and expand its alpha just around the original object based on the Glow radius value)? In what case should we add Solid Composite (or a solid black layer) and in what case we don't have to?

Да, очень хорошо, если после обзора эффектов, Вы сделали обзоры на плагины, конечно, их очень много. Меня интересует REVision FX. Другие тоже, просто он в приоритете.

I had trouble understanding colour looping here :/ like whats the inner and outer part? is that wrt the line or the edges of the line?
