You guys may already have this as it’s been out for a while now, but if you didn’t know, VideoCopilot.net released a Reflection plugin for After Effects that is absolutely phenomenal, easy to use, and FREE.
Video Copilot’s Reflection Plug-in
If you’re like me, you’ve spent a miserable amount of design time duplicating your layers, flipping them vertically, and messing with masks/blurs/opacity to emulate that popular reflected look in your videos, which has quickly become a staple in modern graphic design. This plugin shrinks that process down to a few clicks, without having to mess with comp duplicates or layer parenting, etc. It’s also very customizable. If you’re an AE nerd like myself, this is actually a VERY big deal. Enjoy!

And don’t miss out on all the other freebies that Andrew releases on the site. Sure Target 2.0 was just released and is incredible. I found his site a little over a year ago when I was just starting to learn After Effects and his tutorials and insights have jump started my capabilities in AE. I purchased the 10 pack bundle and the new Action Essentials pack for my birthday and have been immersing myself in all the elements and tutorials contained within. Also looking forward to the new Optical Flares studio in 10 days.

niiice. It’s actually been a while since I’ve been to that site… Thanks for the reminder.
