2D objects moving in 3D plane
I thought this would’ve been easy enough to do, but I’m a beginner with AE (been five years since I’ve used it) and so I’m a bit behind.
The idea is to have several rows of shapes with photos slide into frame. The setup is like the game Guess Who. The front row slides in, displaying the photos, then moves out of frame. The next row then moves up and tilts up to display the photos.The problem is I can’t make the perspective work, and I don’t have full knowledge of the program. I tried corner pinching, but that just made the squares into trapezoids- they did not look like they’re lying down.
Any instructions would be welcomed, as well as any tutorial links. Also, any recommendations on plugins would be welcomed, too.
Thank you very much! -

You can enable 3D positioning for layers.

Enable the 3D layer switch in the timeline. That will give you access to z-position and rotation, which sounds like what you are looking for.

Yep, I actually stumbled across what I was looking for about an hour ago. I knew it was going to be something easy I was just not seeing.
Regardless, thanks for the reply. I’m a little behind on the project than I care to be, and all kinds of stressed out.
