Combining Effects with AE's Fractal Noise Effect

The short answer is look into Track Mattes or Mattes for short.

Mattes use one layer's transparency to cut out another layer.

I know I cover them in a few tutorials, including the original TV Look tutorial.

Combining Effects with AE's Fractal Noise Effect

Aharon,

Thanks for the tutorial. My question is regarding the part where you say that fractal noise can be used as background within text. How do you go about doing this? In fact how do you add mask around text characters?

Also Aharon, to make any text have a shiny metal feel to it, what effect would be suitable.

Thanks for all the help.

Using Fractal Noise to Create FireUsing Fractal Noise to Create Fire

In this tutorial, Matt Dallos demonstrates using Fractal Noise in After Effects 5.5 to create fire. More specifically, he demonstrates the Bonanza look of a fire burning through a piece of paper. Yes, this effect could be generated in a 3d program or plugins, but why bother when you can do it with filter set in AE. You can also use these same basic steps to create other plasma and liquid type effects.

Fractal Noise - A New Look at an Old Friend

When Adobe released After Effects version 7, the attention turned to major new features such as the user interface, 32bit HDR support and the graph editor. However there's another small update which is very significant for some users- the ''Fractal Noise'' effect is no longer confined to the Professional bundle, it's now included with the Standard edition. So for anyone who's never used the Professional version, or anyone who has never used Fractal Noise, Chris Zwar lifts the hood on this immensely powerful feature.
