Hey, welcome back to my new video. This is

easy tutorials, and for those of you who are

the first time in this channel, please consider
subscribing. Today we'll be creating this:

Before we start, I'd like to invite you to
support me on Patreon. You can also get access

to all my premium content.

So let's start.

First, let's import the files we need into
After Effects. You can download the particle

logo template and the project files from the
link in the description.

Create a new composition and name it: particle
logo reveal.

I'm using the FULL HD 1080 pixels preset with
30 frames per second and 30 seconds long.

Create a new solid and name it: background.

Go to effects and presets panel and search
for: gradient ramp.

Apply it to your composition, and adjust its
settings like this.

Change this value to 540.

This one to 3000.

Switch ramp shape to the radial ramp.

Change ramp scatters to 200.

And click on swap colours.

Now we have a nice looking background.

Bring your logo into your logo reveal composition.

Adjust its size if it's too big. In my case,
I'll make it 50%.

Right-click on it, and pre-compose it.

Name the new composition: Logo.

Don't forget to select: move all attributes
to the new composition.

Make this composition 3D.

Create a new solid, and name it: particle
logo.

Go to effects and presets panel and search
for: particular.

Apply it to your composition, and adjust its
settings like this.

Open emitter, and change emitter type to layer.

Click here, and change the layer emitter to:
logo.

Set the number of particles per second to
25000.

And these 4 velocity values to 0.

Open particle, and change life to 7.

Sphere feather to 0.

Size to 10.

And size random to 35%.

Open size over life and create a graph like
this.

Click control D, to duplicate this layer,
and rename the new one: particle generator.

Create a new solid and name it: the floor.

Make it 3D, then click R, to open the rotation
options, and change the x rotation to 90 degrees.

Click P, to open the position options, and
change the second value to 960.

Place this layer at the bottom of your composition.

Select your particle generator layer.

Open the emitter and change the velocity values
to: 100.

20.

0.5

And 20.

Go to particle, open the opacity over life,
and create a graph like this.

Open physics, and change the physics model
to bounce.

Gravity to 125.

Open bounce, and change the floor layer to
floor.

Collision event to slide.

Bounce value to 0.

And slide value to 200.

Place your playhead to 4 seconds, and create
a keyframe on particles per second.

Move 1 frame forward, and change this value
to 0.

Your logo reveal should look like this.

Go to 11 seconds.

Open physics, and create a keyframe on physics
time factor.

Move 1 frame forward, and change this value
to -2.

This will reverse our animation from this
the point, and make it 2 times faster.

Move to 14 seconds and 10 frames.

Select your Particle logo layer.

Create a keyframe on particles per second,
and change its value to 0.

Move 1 frame forward, and change this value
back to 25000.

Move to 16 seconds and 10 frames.

And change the value to 75000.

Then move 1 more frame forward, and change
this value to 0.

Place your logo layer above the particle generator
layer.

Go to effects and presets panel and search
for: linear wipe.

Apply this effect to your logo layer, and
change its completion to 50%.

Change the angle to 110 degrees.

And the feather to 15.

Copy this effect, and paste it on the particle
logo layer.

For this layer, we have to change the angle
to -70 degrees.

Now, select the logo layer, and click on this
icon to lock the effect here.

Open your particle logo layer options.

Click on effects, linear wipe, then hold the
alt button pressed, and click on the transition

completion stopwatch.

Take this pick whip, and parent it to the
logo layer completion option.

Now, place your cursor here, and write 100
minus, in front of this expression.

Click away to save the expression.

As you can see, this is how our transition
looks.

Move to 16 seconds and 15 frames, change the
completion to 100% and create a keyframe.

Now go to 18 seconds, and change the completion
value to 0%.

Click U on your keyboard to reveal the keyframes,
select them, and easy ease them.

Will make this transition a little more interesting
using the optical flare plugin. If you don't

have it, don't worry, I have pre-rendered
the flare, and you can place it in your composition

and change its blending mode to add.

Those who have the optical flare plugin, follow
my steps.

Create a new solid and name it: flare.

Go to effects and presets panel, and search
for optical flares.

Apply it to your solid layer, and change the
render mode to transparent.

Also, change the blending mode to add.

Now, find the exact moment when your transition
starts.

Move this anchor point here, and create keyframes
on position and brightness.

Move 6 frames forward, and drag the anchor
point here.

Click U to reveal the keyframes, and click
here to create the second keyframe on brightness.

Now, move 3 keyframes forward, and change
the brightness value to 0.

Then move 3 frames before the first keyframe,
and change its value again to 0.

Select only the position keyframes, and easy
ease them.

Now, let's create the shadow for our logo.

Duplicate the particle logo layer, and rename
the new one shadow.

Open the scale property, unlink the values,
and change the second value to 15%.

Open the position, and change this value to
865.

Open the opacity, and change its value to
10%.

Go to effects end presets panel, and search
for Gaussian blur.

Apply it to your shadow layer, and change
the blurriness to 100.

Search for tint.

Apply it to your layer, and change its colour
to black.

Our shadow is ready, and it looks great.

Now, let's create the final disperse.

Duplicate the particle logo layer again, and
rename this layer: logo out.

Delete the linear wipe effect from it.

Then go to particular, emitter, and change
the velocity to 2000.

Open particle, and change life to 2 seconds.

Now, click U to reveal its keyframes, and
follow my steps.

Place your playhead on this keyframe, and
change its value to 750000.

Move 15 frames forward.

And drag this 2 keyframes here.

Go to 19 seconds and 10 frames.

Select the logo layer and press alt and right
bracket to trim its out point.

Open the scale, and create a keyframe here,
then change its value to 110%.

Move 1 frame backwards, and change the scale
values to 75%.

Then move to 19 seconds, and change the values
back to 100%.

Select this keyframes, and easy ease them.

Open the graph editor, and change the left
a curve like this.

This will create a bounce movement before
the final particle explosion. Now we only

have to position the logo out layer in
the exact point, 1 frame before the logo disappears.

It is not so hard, do what I do.

Place your played here.

And drag the logo out a layer like this.

Our dispersion looks fine.

Now place your playhead to 22 seconds, and
Click N on your keyboard to set the end of

your work area here.

Then move to 11 seconds, and press B, to set
the beginning of it here.

Right-click on it, and select trim comp to
work area.

Now, let's create the camera rotation from
the beginning of our logo reveal.

Create a new camera. I am using the 24 millimetres
preset.

Create a new null object.

And rename it cam control.

Make it 3D, then parent the camera on it.

Move to 16 seconds, click R to open the rotation,
and create a keyframe to the y rotation.

Move to the beginning of your composition,
and change this value to 1.

Select both keyframes and easy ease them.

Then open the graph editor and change its
a curve like this.

Our logo reveals animation is complete. Let's
see the final result.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial on how to
create this wonderful particle logo reveal

in After Effects.
