    Guys I needed some tutorial to create some effects.

    1. I needed to make rose petals falling effects video, is there any specific tutorial for that? But I wanted to add different pictures/video on both the sides of a petal. Also not all petals have same pictures/video.

    2. I needed a effects which creates rotation of universe behind a pictures. Means assume a picture, behind that picture there is a motion of universe including all our planet moving right to left.

    3. Is there any effects where I can crop a particular video specifically like a boy of playing. So only that part I can put without background of the video and I can add my different background in special effects?

    If anyone helps me with this, I would really appreciate it.

    Thanks Guys.

    PN: Firstly, sorry for any grammatical or any brevity. Secondly, if any of above cannot be done in special effects then please guide me in which software I can create such effects?

    This is called rotoscoping. And depending on your footage, there are different ways to approach it. One method would be to use the Rotobrush, here’s a good tutorial on how that works: Isolating a Subject with Roto Brush

    1 and 2 can be done knowing how to manipulate 3D in AE, but those are pretty advanced & tricky techniques.
    Here’s a PDF for #1, https://www.adobe.com/uk/motion/tips/aft5card/pdfs/aft5card.pdf

    This script from Dan Ebberts might help also: https://www.motionscript.com/design-guide/invisible-facing-away.html

    If I find something for #2, I’ll post.
