Futuristic AUGMENTED REALITY Glitch Effects ! Adobe After Effects Tutorial

[Music] guys today we're gonna talk about some of my favorite looking visual effects to create you're gonna have a lot of fun doing this if you do enjoy this kind of look I think it's just a really interesting aesthetic we're gonna be talking about the futuristic augmented reality looking effect so I want to make two videos kind of focusing on these kind of futuristic looking effects the first video is gonna talk about environment tracking like this clip I'm gonna show now what you also probably saw at the beginning of the video so a lot of cool glitching stuff I'm gonna talk a lot about the tricks to create this we're gonna talk about the assets I touched on this in the little Nozick's panini hour-long mega tutorial that I made so if you want to go into more specifics I'm gonna leave some links below that kind of tie-in with this but we're gonna talk about the basics we're gonna talk about getting the track finding the assets setting everything up creating that look that you see and things like this things like the TV show black mirror on Netflix now I want to show you one of my favorite videos on the internet when it comes to editing and this is something I stumbled across I think maybe two or three years ago and it's really one of my favorite videos that I found when it comes to this look so this is called hyper reality by I'm not sure how to pronounce this Chi Chi Matsuda but this just shows the extent to which you can take this look and if you really put time into doing what I'm gonna show you you can create some really awesome looking things so you'll see the extent of the actual tracking that they've done here really great tracking you have all these different little Holograms floating around here and if I just kind of skim through this is a super interesting video you'll see so much work done with the masking so much work done with tracking that really went all out but it shows what you can do if you do call out and you'll see they even did some 3d work here some little 3d some little 3d flowers and the environments always changing you have Holograms in the background kind of like that ghost in the shell' look video to is gonna be talking about facial tracking and how we can create some things on our face whether it's some kind of virtual mask an entire thing over our head so we're gonna be a little more 3d in the part 2 but I think you guys are really gonna like that so so here is our rock clip now this is gonna work best with clips that aren't shaky but anyways let's go ahead and right-click this clip and Adobe Premiere and replace it with After Effects position of course if you guys are in after-effects if you're only using After Effects you can just file open the clip within After Effects okay guys so here we are in After Effects because we made that dynamic link in Adobe Premiere when I right clicked it anything I do an AE will show up in it Premiere you can right click on your footage you can go to track and stabilize and you can click track camera and After Effects is gonna do its best here to track the scene and try and get as much tracking information so that we can start bringing things in and kind of designing the environment the way we like alright guys so you're gonna see it's a solving camera we're a few moments away so now we have a track and you'll see if I scroll through here we have these little X's which are sticking to all the little corners which are in our scene and this is the perfect example of a shot that would work well for this kind of augmented reality look the scene set up whenever you are shooting is a huge important part of this we can use this bullseye to get a nice general area here don't worry if the orientation isn't perfect right click once you've found the place you like and click create solid and camera so now as we scroll along if we press play you'll see that this track solid is now in place and that's really what your asset is gonna be once we replace this layer here but you can use this to check how your track is going to look now let's go ahead and just straighten this out we're gonna select the track solid layer down here and just open up this transform options by clicking these triangles and now you'll see that we can actually change our orientation here as well as our x y&z rotation to try and align this against the wall as accurately as possible alright so our track is looking okay for now let's go ahead and replace this track solid with an actual asset that we can find on the internet or that you guys may already have saved now I talked about this in my panini tutorials well on places where you can find these cool kind of glitchy futuristic assets and this is a huge part of it of course what you guys can do is you can look up some videos you can create your own using track solids using keyframes to make little animations alright guys so you hide your tracks solid you have your footage all tracked ready to go now we want to replace this track solid with an actual asset and in this case I'm gonna try and add just some little lights onto the wall what you're gonna want to do is you're going to want to right-click on this track solid once you have the positioning down and don't worry we can tweak it a little bit on the way as we go you're gonna want to click precompose and then you can name this whatever you want to remember it I'll just name this wall asset click okay so now this is in a composition we can now double click into here and we'll see our tracks solid by itself so hop back in your main comp now let's go ahead and find an asset to replace this with and then we're gonna try and composite it into our scene so it's very simple to find some sort of 3d futuristic asset people always ask me how to do a lot of different things Google is the number one place you guys should start futuristic assets after effects and here you go you have a bunch of different resources which you can find creating composites sci fi UI graphics right click on that maybe open a few and new tabs try and find some free ones you can even just add free in there sites like videohive pond5 to find a lot of these paid packs and these are gonna help a lot and I'm not sponsored by any of these I'm just doing this from my own experience on how to find these I'm just gonna look up sci-fi assets so let's take a look at the assets I used here and you can pretty much use any asset you may have any kind of overlay and then add some cool little holographic effects to make it look like that so this is actually a VHS overlay this is a little social media pack that I found on the internet I talked about this in its own standalone video but I'm gonna talk about how we can add this craziness that's going on and then we'll talk about how we can pop in this cool little futuristic looking image as well so starting with the little blinking lights on the walls best place for you to start try and find some free VHS try and find some free overlays on the internet if you need one my website has a free VHS pack which you can download right now link is in the description you just need to go to video products here and then go down and find either and then go down and use any of these free little packs here VHS pack now for this once you add it to the cart just add your name and then anything else that's asking for it just leave the payment part blank and it'll still go in normally for some reason Squarespace still need you to fill out the form just leave a blank click purchase and it'll work perfectly fine recommend doing is you guys start a little folder of assets which you can use so I have this overlay in elements folder with just a bunch of useful things that I use and a lot of my projects so if I just go down here to this little trippy VHS overlay footage I have this TV static my are more our effect layer so what you're gonna want to do double click into that wall asset pre-comp that we just did double click in there and you'll see the track solid you can now just delete the track solid because basically we just have that pre comp as a placeholder and we can now place any asset in here so you also want to go up to composition comp settings and you may want to make this width and height something that you like better so if it's a little bit too small you're gonna have loss of resolution this is 180 by 180 so square I'm just gonna make this 1920 by 1080 now I'm gonna go ahead and go back to my overlay folders my overlays and elements and I'm just gonna drag in this kind of TV static more our clip that I have going on here now we already did other tracking we already position our track solid so once we hop back into our main comp here you're gonna see that this is tracked on to the wall so that's looking good now what we really need to do is just change some blending modes to kind of blend this with the wall to do that click toggle switches and modes down here you're gonna see the mode for our wall assets if you're not seeing that like I said this button will show that change this from normal to something maybe like overlay screen here you go screen takes away the black background so you kind of just need to experiment a bit until you find something you like and there you go so now we have these blinking dots on the actual LED wall now to check this now we want to make sure this doesn't go past where the mirror is so if we just expand here you'll see it's going past I'm just gonna take the edge and just kind of stretch that so that it really knows where its boundaries are I even move the x-axis over a tiny bit that is looking okay right now for me so that is how you can put in any assets you'd like this works the exact same if you want you can pop back into the Swallow set maybe try a different look try different overlay like I said there's a bunch of free ones on my website let's put in maybe this free grunge structure glitch and then hop back into our main comp and we already changed this to screen so here's what this is gonna look like now there's a few things we can do to make this look a little bit more like this augmented futuristic asset with our environment now the first thing you can do is open up the transform options for that wall asset you can lower the opacity just a bit maybe around 60 to 70 just to kind of blend it with the mirror a bit more kind of like that it's not looks more like a reflection on the glass you guys can also go to your effects and presets window here if you're not seeing that just go up to window and presets make sure that's showing open that up and then we can just search for the stock glow effect you guys can of course use any presets or plugins but normal After Effects comes with this little stylize glow we can grab the glow radius of that and kind of experiment with that so now we kind of have this glowing little texture on our wall let's go ahead and switch that back to our normal dots how we had it normally back in our main comp so that is the basics of adding an asset now I quickly want to touch on creating your own assets because that's something that is just a useful skill to know down the road for example if you just go to project bin here we can make our new composition and you guys can use these shape layers so maybe if I alt click and create some sort of an ellipse you guys don't have to follow along here yet I'm just kind of showing you a little rough example what I'm gonna do here is I'm just going to add a stroke to this I'm gonna make the fills zero on this and I'm gonna add a little bit of this stroke width so we kind of just have this ring control D on that shape and I'll click s and I'll just scale this down so now we kind of have two little ovals and this is just a very rough example of what I mean by making their own little digital assets so maybe create a little X here I'll just click and this will be a shape layer now scale this up we'll just add more width to this control D or rotate it and we basically just have two little circles with an X in the middle now those of you that have experience doing animation and After Effects this is gonna be a lot easier if you do want to make your own assets you can make these flicker just by clicking T to bring up your opacity and then if you drag to the beginning here you can keyframe this make it zero and then using page up and page down on your keyboard you can move one frame maybe make this 100 and move another frame zero you guys can also use any expressions to loop this or of course you could just highlight the keyframes page up and just control V and now you're just gonna have a little bit of flickering going on with your shape layers we can also copy those keyframes click T and then paste them for the second one maybe offset these a bit now you'll see what I'm doing here I'm just creating some simple little animations to create some futuristic looking assets which we could use to now composite on the wall so you guys can mess around try and create some cool little animations you may want to look some you may want to look up some After Effects tutorials on doing this simple little shape letter animation because you guys can create some cool stuff so here's just my simple little circle flash that we have so you've done that go back to your main comp this is the linked comp here these steps are pretty simple all you're really gonna be doing is repeating what I just showed you through different parts of the video so we can now do it on this side of the wall instead of taking the time to repeat the steps I just showed you you guys can rewind the video I want to talk about how we can create some floating things in the middle here and then how we can customize those with some different effects and preset to make them more glitchy every single time you're gonna want to reset to step one step one is always selecting your original footage here rename that to original footage select your original footage select your 3d camera tracker so you can see your track points again and then you go ahead and add the track solid first and foremost alright guys so just repeating the steps which I showed you originally we now have our dots on the other side of the screen you guys can add any kind of 3d object here if you have element 3d or if you have cinema 4d which has a pipeline that works with after effects you can add floating 3d objects using this 3d camera tracker so that it's completely tracked in space so for element 3d you can go to new solid and I'm going fast just because I'm showing it as an example I made a lot of 3d tutorials out there on element so if you want to look that up go ahead and check out the links below for just an example what you can do if you bring in any little three objects through element 3d and this is just a plug-in by Video Copilot we'll go ahead and just bring in one of these v1 models maybe this little nuke model will click OK that'll automatically be tracked into our scene we'll see how you can add in your own little 3d things into the space so that's just a quick example of what you can do with 3d in this but we're gonna save the 3d for part two when we're talking about adding things onto people's faces and the character design let's say we have an image that we want to have floating in our space that we have here so let's go ahead and just get this picture of me from the Internet you guys can use any picture I just did this quickly show this in the folder and let's go ahead and drag this into After Effects we'll just drag that into a normal layer so here is our normal picture now there's a few things we can do with this you can click toggle switches and modes and make this a 3d layer just by clicking this little cube switch now this will move with our 3d camera so you can actually take our z axis on this and move it back into 3d space now you'll see our image is now moving with our 3d camera tracker now if you want to take a 2d image and kind of make it 3d for the sake of using this 3d camera tracking you can actually right click and pre-compose it if you do that make sure it's still going to be a 3d object so click toggle switches and modes check the square box there now let's double click and go into the composition and let's kind of change things around so first off to get a little bit more to get a better perspective so it doesn't look like an image what I'm gonna do is mask myself out of this so select the image click on your pen tool and I'm gonna zoom in here and just make a little rough mask just around me alright so there we go so we have just an image of me I'll click em and then I'll feather that a tiny bit maybe by like two pixels so you have a cut out of any picture that you would like this is just toggling the transparency here so you can see that it does have a transparent background let's make this image 3d and this is pretty simple just go ahead and open up the transform options here you'll see your position you can actually right click on that and just make this separate dimensions and then make sure this is a 3d layer so click this 3d cube toggle switches and modes to show that if you don't see it where it's a Z position you're gonna want to go ahead and hold down alt on your keyboard and click it and then in this little dialog box just write the word index you can click away now what you can do now is just click ctrl D a bunch of times on that image I'll actually go to layer new camera and then clicking see on my keyboard I can rotate and show you now we just made a little 3d kind of piece a 3d little cutout of myself just by using those duplications I made a full tutorial on this as well but now what you can do is put that in 3d space if you want to add more depths that I extrude to that extrusion clip clicking ctrl D and it'll extrude out further but you have a two-sided little 3d cut out of any image you would like we can hide our camera go back into our main comp and now this is still going to stay 3d as long as you click toggle switches and modes and you collapse the transformations here so cuz click this switch and you'll see it'll keep his extrusion to show that better I'll just add a little transform onto the me image I'll kind of keyframe the rotations the orientations as it gets closer to the camera we'll make it like spin or something like that we'll add a one onto the Y so there you go so that's another step you can do just using 2d image but making it 3d pretty cool and it's a nice way to make it on assets as well if you are just wanting to use any kind of image maybe it's a logo grab the z axis and even pull this closer and put it around like right here now there's three more things I want to show you in this tutorial we're gonna do what we did in the original example here I'm gonna bring in this little 3d social media image and we'll customize that to make them all glitchy you could do that with any kind of 3d object any kind of image like I showed you the main thing I want to show you is customizing what you're tracking in to give it that glitchyness all right so step one like in our original example we'll add these little social media floaties here so hop into After Effects of course every time we want to add an asset what do we do we always start with our original footage so click on it you're going to want to go up to your effect controls there and select your 3d camera tracker so we can see our track points then we go ahead and find a place in our footage so let's maybe try and track it to the wall here that's fine it'll just kind of be tracked along that edge along the mirror and now let's go ahead and right-click precompose that tracks all and let's name this social media counter click okay double click into there and then we delete the track solid perfect now I talked all about finding your assets of course if you don't want to pay money you don't have to do this but I made a video speaking on these little motion bro compatible toko graphics pack and this just has a bunch of elements that has a bunch of cool little things shape gradients social media call-outs things like that if you use Google to your advantage you can find a lot of this stuff and of course if you want you can just go on YouTube go on Google you can find some 2d versions of these social media a little pop outs throw media green screen animation you guys are gonna see there's a bunch out there you can use that little 2d technique I showed you to extrude these and you can make your own because there's a lot of free 2d green-screen versions so that's one way to do it other way is to invest into some sort of packs so I'm going to use the toko graphics pack I'll bring in one of these little counters you can do this in After Effects to create your own little counter if you want the numbers again using that 2d to 3d trick I was showing you now we have a nice little 3d counter two-sided instead of that 2d counter so go up here we'll hide the camera and we'll bring this social media counter composition that we have into our main comp so what we're gonna need to do is transform this and you'll see it's a 2d image right now it's kind of hard to see because the orientation is messing up but it's kind of 2d projected here to bring the 3d aspect back to it just go ahead and click this little star icon here for complex Aqil switches and modes but clacks collapse the transformations and now you'll see it is 3d so let's orient this so that it's looking the right way they'll list down even more and if you don't want to do the scaling if you want to move this back in the hallway just lower the Z position and that'll push it further back down the hallway in 3d space also if you want to see this a little bit better you'll see that this looks pretty solid orange it's kind of hard to tell it is 3d you can pop into the layer here and for all these duplications for all these duplications you can hold shift precompose them all together I'll name that back except for the front-facing one we'll put that in a layer above for this we're going to collapse the transformations look up brightness and contrast and we'll just lower the brightness a bit which one you can go to your camera view here to see the side but you'll see this is what I do by lowering the brightness you can kind of add that contrast that does show that it's three deep so without the brightness contrast that's what it looks like with the brightness and contrast that's how you can add a little bit of more depth to the background just by changing the brightness making the kind of back duplications a little bit more dark now back at our main comp here's what that looks like now so we'll play this out see what this is looking like if you want this to really fly off the screen you're going to need to grab the Z position and you're gonna need to pull it really close to you you may need to compensate by um using the other axes to do that but pull it close to you pull it close to where the camera would be and then you'll see that it'll fly directly off the screen once the King once the AE camera kind of passes by it so now we have this here pops up and then kind of just floats off screen with our little animation turning it to the side so that's a rough example of how we can create the timing how you can make it look like things are floating plastic screen shooting past the screen like in our original example here you'll see that these edges go off the screen it kind of rotates away it really adds depth to the effect because there's some further in the background further back in Z position in some closer in Z position so again if you want that to be closer to the camera closer to the screen you grab the Z position your third value or the blue axis and you pull it so that it's closer and if it's too big and compensate with scale and if you want it further back in the hallway you drag this out so that it's further away so once you have that down packed it's as simple as just duplicating this layer social media counter so ctrl D to duplicate it and then you can literally just move the axes so that it's somewhere else so let's grab the X move it over here grab the Y let's move it up a bit and then the most important part to give it that depth you grab the Z and you move it back in the hallway and again once you're moving the Z you may need to kind of compensate so move the Z ups in and then it kind of just floats over to the side so to customize these let's go ahead and double click into the comp we'll start with this closest one double click into your composition now first off let's change the color let's make them purple I did this for a future music video so I wanted to keep the same kind of color scheme hold down shift click will pre compose this again since all of these at the beginning are all duplicates any time we change the look of one all of them are going to adjust as well so hop back into our original comp here this went back to 2d so we need to click toggle switches and modes and click our collapse transform so now it's going to show all of our extrusion layers and we're good to go and start customizing so starting off effect some presets you can look up the HLS color balance effects drop that on there and then I literally just dialed this hue until I found a color that I liked now let's go and add a little bit of crazy glitchyness to this so we'll file save now to do this I'm gonna use this technique which I showed in a video called trippy VHS projection effect you can do it in Adobe Premiere as well as Adobe After Effects we're gonna use it here for Adobe After Effects and basically we're just using the set matte effect now we're gonna go back and use some of these sci-fi elements I'm also going to use some VHS elements so in this trippy VHS overlay folder which I've gathered from the internet course like I said I recommend it to you find your own overlay pack use use the free ones from my website find other ones on the internet that you'd like put them in your folder so that you can use them whenever you want them so I'll open up some of these little glitch clips which I have here I'll leave a link to this pack if you're interested and we'll bring in an analogue glitch 6 & 8 you guys can use whichever ones you like here's what those look like normally they're pretty big so you can right click go to transform and then just click fit to comp let's do that with the second one to right click transform fit to comp let's play that out very quick but a nice little texture so let's go ahead and project this now on to our to our little social media button first off let's drag this to the top you're going to want to go to your effects and presets and look up the sets and matte effects now place this onto your analog now place this on your analog glitch here now clicking on your analog glitch clip or whatever overlay you're using you'll see set matte and your FET controls take matte from layer you want to choose your social media 3d extrusion once you've done that you choose the channel that you want to use for the matte so you can use luminance you can use hue and now what you want to do is take this drag it in a layer above and now you'll see that this is only going to be in where the light parts of our social media is so that's how we can really kind of create some different stuff well change the channels here we'll put it on hue now it's only gonna be and kind of like where the white is now if you don't like how it's kind of cutting away some of the parts here what you can do is once you find whatever channel that you want to choose whether its lightness hue whatever it is you can also click toggles toggle switches and modes down here and you'll see your blending mode you can change this to something like screen something like lighten and that kind of just soften it up so it's more of like an overlay then kind of changing around channels so I'll put this on linear dodge and it just gives it a nice little glitchy overlay onto it now and of course you can mess around there's different looks for every single blending mode that's what I love so much about this set matte this kind of overlay projection effect there's so many different combinations you can use because you can mix together the set matte you can mix it over different channels and you can mix together blending modes so let's mix together some of these as well let's go ahead and bring in we have our analog glitch 8 here we'll bring that to the top now to save time you can click on analog glitch 6 or your first clip you do this with controls see the set Matt control V it into your new clip now we have a bunch of craziness going on as you can see and click toggle toggle switches and modes again to see your mode for your second clip your blending mode and we'll put that on color dodge linear dodge add lighting whatever you'd like again let's maybe put this one on lighten so we have a mixture of the blending modes that's going on now if you ever run into an issue where the glitch isn't really matching up with the composition you may just need to click the collapse transformation buttons here just to make sure everything's working together whenever you're doing that 2d to 3d whenever you're doing that 2d to 3d trick sometimes you may need to do that we can also double click in here and one thing that made me kind of fix this is not having a second collapse transformation comp in here before I had these all in one little capri comp there you go here is our final little example of what those little social media buttons are looking like with our glitchy projection on them as well as our little 3d extrusion looking pretty cool now what I'm going to show you is how we can just take a normal image project onto the wall like we've been doing with our little pre-made asset here and then just add a little kind of glitchy mosaic effect onto that so to do that so what I did while originally working on that clip I looked up free bands logo because it was the logo from future and we wanted to put that at the end so I figured I put it on the wall so you can use any kind of logo just try and find a PNG version this should work fine here so I'll right click you want to make sure it's a nice resolution 1000 by 1000 is HD enough well right click save image as select your original footage go up to effect controls click 3d camera tracker and then using your bull's eye find a nice spot where we can paste that I'm gonna go ahead and stretch that solid out a bit I'm gonna right click on this track solid and pre-compose it I'm gonna name this logo click OK double click to go into that composition and then you can delete the track solid and then let's check our comp settings we'll make this 1920 by 1080 and then we'll go to our project and drop in our logo that we imported so this is pretty similar to what we've been doing it's hot back into our main comp here so we'll go into our number 1 comp you'll see this is now sideways projected if you want to see it a bit easier you can open up your transform options like this and you can kind of change your exhortation you can change your rotations or your orientations so that's looking a lot better it's kind of scaled in a lot more of those so we'll kind of scale that down and then to get rid of the black edges we're going to click toggle switches and modes and then put this on screen and there you go now we have our logo on our actual mirror look at pretty good so if I play that you'll see this is now tracked on to our mayor so if you want this to pop in like how I did in our original example you guys can keyframe your opacity at the beginning here page down make it zero page down make that 75 and then just repeat that zero all right so we have a flickering in we have it kind of mixed with our wall we have a tract now we can add some little kind of mosaic effects to make this glitch in and out now the way to do that is you can just look up the mosaic effect in your effects and presets it is under stylized so go ahead and trap that on to your logo comp and you'll see this gets all super blocky once we do this if you raise the blocks up it'll be kind of a tiny bit glitchy so say we want this to start all pixelated make me make it look like something make it look like something from Minecraft and then kind of go back into clear make it more sharp so at the beginning here we'll keyframe our mosaic our horizontal blocks and our vertical blocks we'll move a few frames and then we're just gonna bump these up like crazy so this is what that'll look like it'll go from kind of being low resolution to a little bit better now this is kind of getting cut out by the opacity flash here so to fix that let's open up our effects here open up mosaic just so we can see these key frames and we'll just drag them out a bit so you can even reset them here you can even start this super high up so that it looks a little bit more clear it flickers in it's just some nice little digital interference that goes on right so here we are guys we have that dynamic link set up so everything we did here is in Premiere and now we can color great in Premiere so I'll just go to my creative tab in my color workspace and I have some cool little interesting Luntz which I can experiment with I think these are just some cinematic lots if you just look up cinematic LUT pack you may be able to find something similar and you can mess around with the colors so here is the quick little recreation of the original one I made of course like I said it all comes down to the time you spend on it the attention to detail you can pack a lot more in here part two is going to be coming soon hope you guys do enjoy that turn your notifications on if you don't want to miss it they so much for watching leave a like comment subscribe if you did enjoy you guys so much for supporting they you guys so much for watching and I'll see you guys in the next one [Music]
