How is movement done in a shot in after effects
I have seen many videos where the camera quickly shifts from one place in the shot to another (in the same shot) with motion blur added, like in this video several times (https://vimeo.com/108018156 especially 1.15.-1.18). This can also be used in a transition as it is done here (https://vimeo.com/108018156 0.43-0.46 good example). How is this done in after effects?

Hi Sahil, the links didn’t work for me but it sounds like you mean a whip or swish pan. This is a very simple way to do it though there are more advanced tutorials around as well:

Yeah! That’s what I was look it for. But can this be used in the same shot by duplicating the video layer and zooming in? (https://youtu.be/fhFqEDZ2kB4) the video is called “Watchtower of Turkey” it’s a beautiful video with lots of quick pans and zooms.

Hi, that clip is a beautiful example of the editor’s art. I’m not sure what you mean by duplicating the video layer and zooming in? You can mask out a section of the image (say a doorway) and zoom through it to see another clip. Since you know the look you want you would need to experiment and see what works. There is a lot of skill that has gone into that clip (one of the great strengths is the use of, and matching of, colors).

That video is indeed a work of art. But what you said about zooming through a doorway, is that using a camera layer?

What Dave says is very true, however to your door question – you can use a camera or not. Make your layers 3D, move the lower layer (the one your zooming into) back in Z space. Use a camera – or parent both layers to a 3D null then keyframe the null’s Z position ( and X or Y if necessary); the top layer moves forward leaving you with the other layer filling the frame (you might need to scale it up to fit).
