Help! how was this effect done?

[Andy Kiernan]

I would assume mattes. create a matte, say, a circle mask expanding on a solid white layer, then use that to matte out another layer with turbulent noise applied, then pre-comp that and use it to matte out a texture layer

Hi Andy, thanks for taking the time to answer. I’m using this AI file and it has texture. Since I’m using this file, do I have to follow all the steps your mentioned or is there a less complex route. Iv’e only strating using after effects this year, so im still leaning the program. Please let me know. thanks

You might be able to use the CC Burn Film effect to accomplish a similar look as the transition in the example you posted: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1h1Zq7RIO_w

I agree with Andy that a matte involving a circular wipe and an evolving noise texture would probably get you even closer, but CC Burn Film is in that wheelhouse and is probably easier.

Hi Nicholas,

Gradient Wipe seems to do the trick. Just make sure to tick “Invert Gradient”
