    I found on Google that this FORUM is the no. 1 After Effects Forum on the internet. What rubbish is this, Nobody is interested to offer help.. I am a noob and just started to learn AE but I came here that EXPERTS will be here to show some guidelines.. But it seems I am wrong LOL, Youtube comment response is way quicker than to be on this forum for help.

    Pranav, please accept the sincere apologies of Creative COW. Our developers have been working diligently to fix our email notification system, which usually notifies over 100 After Effects forum subscribers in quick fashion. We have recently hit a snag that has caused a many-day delay on notifications to our AE subscribers. We hope to solve this issue as soon as humanly possible, and hope that you understand it is not permanent. Thank you for you patience.

    My best advice for new After Effects users is to learn to walk before you try to run.

    Ae offers an enormous set of tools, and it gets complex fast. Jumping into intermediate or advanced outcome-oriented tutorials is a very hard way to learn, because you will miss the important fundamental concepts and techniques that underpin good Ae work.

    Start small, build your skills incrementally, and you’ll be able to make amazing images before you know it.

    There are plenty of resources that can get you started on your journey. Here are a couple good places to start:

    Hi Walter, thanks for the advice and I agree that this is right path of AE journey you mentioned. Actually, I was so upset so I said I am noob to emphasize my frustration. Actually I am not a beginner nor an advanced user, I fall into the medium. But my question was, can you break down the videos I have uploaded with my post? I can follow advanced tutorials easily, but even on Youtube these kind of Tiktok effects are not available to watch. So, if you are expert then could you just breakdown the videos I have uploaded? The Stones, Sea Waves, some looks CG some feels like real, how can we make these stones. Do not think about my skills at the moment, just tell me how would you do it if you go to replicate it? I need the breakdown, I can easily follow even you give me most advanced instructions but just tell me.

    Thanks!

    I can lay out the broad strokes here so you know what to look for. After you’ve done some work, if you get stuck, come back with a specific question. It’s so much easier to discuss focused questions and work-in-progress on a forum.

    The stones look like AI-generated images. If you want to make them from scratch, that’s a job for a full 3D package like C4D or Houdini or Blender, not Ae. You can make a 2D image feel like a 3D space by setting up what’s called a “camera projection,” and then animating a new camera through the scene. Some of the waves look like distortion effects (start with Turbulent Displacement); others look more like real footage that’s been composited in. The dolphin-shaped clouds can be generated by Ae, painted by hand in Photoshop and brought into Ae with layers to animate, or generated by particle systems like Trapcode Form using custom layer maps.

    If there’s a lot of this on TikTok, it’s possible there’s a specific tool that makes the work easier than doing all the compositing in Ae. Look up “cinemagraph” software if you’re looking for an easy button.

    To create relaxation videos with glowing beach stones on TikTok, import your beach footage and stone assets into Adobe After Effects. Apply a glow effect (Effect > Stylize > Glow) to the stones and animate them with keyframes to make them pulse and move gently. Add relaxing background music and adjust the color tone for a calming atmosphere. These eye-catching videos can help you attract more TikTok followers by engaging viewers with visually appealing and soothing content.
