  • Zooming into Ipad screen

    Posted by Alistair Gallop on September 23, 2013 at 5:02 pm

    Trying to work this out, its messing with my mind a bit:

    I want to superimpose an ipad screen over an image like this and then use a camera to zoom into the screen to end to end up with the screen only in view which will then begin to animate etc.

    Struggling to work out the process, im guessing I need to keep the main image and the screen as separate entities?

    Along the lines of Dave’s advice I would add- make the precomp full screen. If you want a real camera move then you’ll have to do a 3d track and position your precomp to match the screen in the live shot in 3d space. This way the virtual camera will match the real camera – of course you’ll have to adjust the end to have a perfect full frame of the desktop. If you want to do a quick zoom in post, the you need only worry about animating a quick scale up (add motion blur) and position/scale the precomp using corner pin.
