  Best way to achieve this effect

  Posted by James Veitch on December 14, 2015 at 1:20 pm

  Hi there,

  

  What’s the name of this effect (where text is placed into a scene with perspective and a moving camera)
  and what’s the best way to achieve it? Is it done in After Effects or do i need to use Mocha too?

  Text on plane

  The verge use it all the time with their reviews.

  Thanks very much.
  James.

  Looks like a still image and text layer being rotated in unison. Several ways to implement: single comp; nested comp; or prepped in Photoshop/Illustrator and rotated in an AE comp.

  Generally it’s done by motion tracking your scene or camera tracking and then adding text to the scene. Lots of tutorials for that.
