Card wipe help
Hi all, trying to emulate this card wipe effect. It has some cards animated separately from the others, and rotating with a different axis. any thoughts? i’m i intermediate ae person..but i just can’t wrap my head aroud this one? the only solution I can think of righ away is masksing the different “blocks” off?
Any thoughts would be awesome!

Looks like Card Dance to me. Use different shades of grey as a gradient layer to change the rate at which the transition happens. You can even use a 2nd gradient layer in the effect for another animation.
Good luck!

Yeah, that’s what I would do. Animate the card dance, deactivate the effect, mask the 9 bloks in, duplicante the layer and invert the mask in one of them. Then turn the effect on and turn on the 3d switch in in the layer with the inner box. Put the anchor point in the centre of that box, not of the layer and rotate it.
I haven’t tested it, anyway.

Awesome. That’s kind of what I was thinking too…I just didn’t want to waste my time with something that wasn’t going to do it! I’m still trying to train my brain to wrap around how to really use plug-ins (and AE) to it’s full potential!

Jim’s right; the ability to use a gradient map to affect different effects is brilliant. You can use a gradient on foam, shatter, and many others.
I use gradient on card dance (and card wipe) all the time.
