Starfield in AE
Hello everyone!
I am trying to build a simple starfield in AE to composite behind my planet earth for a shot. The problem is I get the stars looking exactly how I like with Particular or CC particle world but they keep flying all over the place. Is there anyway to create a static starfield?? I used the static star field option in trapcodes particular but they too keep animating. I just want to have the stars set up so that I do my small camera movement, they actually have depth and don’t look flat like the photo of the stars Im using right now.
Thanks

I fear that you’re in the wrong forum, bub.

You can always enable time remapping and making a hold Keyframe. And yeah wrong forum.

Old school trick:
A simple way to create a static star field is to get a piece of heavy black velvet and back light it with a 1K and then shoot it.
Pinpoints of light will leak through the cloth. If there are to many ‘stars’, add more cloth. Play with focal lengths, and slight focus adjustments to get the best look. Slight movement of the material can add ‘twinkle’.
A heavy studio black curtain works best for this trick, but you can get by with a smaller piece of fabric if you don’t have access to a studio.
Don’t get the light to close and set the studio on fire!Scott Sheriff
