Shutter Streak
Posted on 27. Jul, 2009 by Jerzy Drozda Jr in After Effects
Add a classy film look to your footage by creating a Shutter Streak effect as seen in Red Giant Software’s amazing plugin – Magic Bullet Looks. Switch given features of the streak on and off for quick and easy adjustments.

Some time ago I wrote a note on my Facebook Fan Page about upcoming tutorials. I’m happy to announce that the day has come – the tutorials are recorded and all will be released soon. This is the forth and the last tutorial (at least from the ones I announced so far) that will be focused on recreating some of my favorite filters from a great color correction tool – Magic Bullet Looks.
It’s really hard to say how Shutter Streak works, so what I did is I applied it to a couple of different images in Magic Bullet Looks and tried to analyse it to really capture the essence. Then I did my best to recreate the effect using standard plugins that come with After Effects. I hope this tutorial will not only show you how to create a great looking light streak, but also that it will broaden your understanding of some very simple yet powerful filters. Enjoy!

Nice One! Start making some more advanced tutorials again ;) This one is a step in the right direction :D
But still very nice technique, and easy to use, by just applying the preset.

I applied the preset to some footage. It works but cuts off the top half of my image?

Try turning off the expressions for the transform parameters and just tweak them manually.

I love tutorials that stop and have to tweek themselves during the tutorial. It shows that the effect has to be worked upon for perfection. I appreciate the tutorial. Thanks a lot!!

I’m sorry, but after having seen quite a few After Effects tutorials, I found this one to be pretty bad, for a couple of reasons:
- Properly explain what it is you’re going to produce, in the beginning of the tutorial. You don’t actually seem to know what shutter streaks are, which is troublesome to say the least
- If you’re not going to use something, don’t put it in
- You mumble, and make mistakes – if you make mistakes, record the tutorial again, or simply edit it afterwards to make it run smoother
- You use a whole bunch of effects instead of trying to accomplish the same end results with less processing. If I was to use all of these effects at the same time often, my renders would be really slow. You have to think about these things when you just pile one thing on top of the next.
- You don’t seem to know how the effects work, as it looks like you’re surprised quite a few times during the tutorial – often by really basic things, such as layering
All in all, keep it up, and I love that people put out tutorials like this, but it has to be of higher quality.

There’s nothing wrong with this presentation. It’s real and unscripted. If you’re not surprised by AE every once in a while, you’re not using it like you should be—especially when using that many effects on one layer.
There’s no reason for him to re-record and do it over. That’s a waste of time.
This won’t slow down a fast computer. Maybe it’s time for you to upgrade? :)
As for explaining the cause of shutter streaks and use of the effect, you have a valid point.

I like it when ppl make mistakes in tutorials and try to solve them. it really makes you think yourself of how to solve it, and ultimately problem solving is what makes you better not button pushing.

I actually appreciate you making mistakes and showing it, because I make mistakes as well, but at the same time it shows me what happens when mistakes are done, and I have to say that at least 15% of my mistakes become happy mistakes, that I use for other effects later down the line.

18. Sep, 2009
I agree with Ottar, you are improvising over a really basic stuff.
Pile up several fx without an economical criteria is not an option.
And AS, there are not happy mistakes, is a fast blur!

Hey George, do I need to put the FFX file on a specific folder in the presets or just put it there and that’s it, sorry for the stupid and newbie question.

I agree with all the pieces you’ve stated, however like you mentioned on the end, I at all times find yourself going back to how I used to do things. It’s a by no means ending circle. Writing issues down is a great idea. I’ve not too long ago starting storing changes in each day processes in spreadsheet information, so I can use them like a examine list. The only drawback then is that the record gets too long and I begin missing bits out! Getting into a rountine when one thing is changed is the best advice I can give.
