    Hi everyone hope you are all well.
    I am making a health and saftety video for an IT environment for college.My wife has bought me after effects for christmas.obviously i am gonna learn the software inside out by using tutorials etc.this however is not great,for my college h&s video it needs completed for next week and i have not been able to find tutorials for this problem.
    i have a video clip of me fiddleing with wires at the back of a pc (not powered on) and i wanna give the illusion of an electric shock occuring near my hand.
    can anyone help,running out of time.
    thanx so much

    The Advanced Lightning effect is a good place to start for creating electrical phenomena.

    I urge you to at least go through the basics before you try to take on a real project:

    Teddy,

    You might try looking at some of the tutorials on https://www.videocopilot.net/

    I’m not sure if it will help you with your problem, but some of the basic ideas may put you on the right track.

    Guys thank you so much for taking time to help me,i appreciate it.didnt realise it would be such a learning curve,so many fundamentals to get used to on AE.Results on other people videos i have seen look worth it though.
    cheers and take care.

    我也同样遇到了这个问题,但是经过我反复研究发现还是win7的权限问题,你把不能渲染的硬盘盘符,名字换掉,会提示你需要管理员权限,点击ok,然后再去渲染,问题已经解决,非常完美。
