Abstract Liquid Background Loop | After Effects Tutorial
A short After Effects video tutorial for creating cool, abstract liquid background animations without using any plugins.
In this tutorial I'm going to create an elegant, random, abstract swirly background in Adobe After Effects. The final animation is set to seamlessly loop so you can render out and apply multiple times along your timeline for endless durations. This guide is perfect for beginners as it covers After Effects basics such as creating new compositions, adding solid layers and applying effects.
It shows how, by combining two effects such as Fractal Noise and Turbulent Displace, you can quickly and easily create stylish backdrops for your text and logo. Perfect for your own unique channel branding graphics and logo intro!

Full instructions:
01) Make a new composition. Set it to 1920 by 1080 and a duration of 10 seconds. Give it a black background.
02) Create a new Solid. Layer - New - Solid.
03) Go to Effect - Noise & Grain - Fractal Noise
04) Change the Contrast to 200 and twirl down the Transform settings.
05) Turn off Uniform Scaling and use a Scale Height of 10000.
06) Next, add a Stylize - Motion Tile effect. This is to limit some of the holes that appear with the next effect.
07) Use an Output Height of 300 and check Mirror Edges.
08) Now for the cool part. Go to Effect - Distort - Turbulent Displace.
09) Change the Amount to 300 and the Size to 300.
10) Set Complexity to 2 and Pinning to None.
11) Go to the start of your Timeline and add a keyframe for Evolution. You could use a time expression here but we want to create a seamless loop, so go to the end of your Timeline and change the Evolution value to 1.
12) Under Evolution Options check Cycle Evolution.
13) To colorize this I've added CC Toner and used the Pentone setting.
14) I've used white, black, black, orange and red.
15) Let's playback the animation.
16) To change the look you can play with the Turbulent Displace - Random Seed.
