    Docked Panels Effect

    Posted by Mark Crenshaw on April 7, 2009 at 10:15 pm

    Hello all,

    I have been asked to duplicate the effect that the windows in AE have when they are docked…resize one and the others shrink to make room for it. The ultimate flexibility would be to have a null at each corner that could be dragged and have the other layers resize with it.

    I was wondering if anyone had done this using expressions. Seems, with planned moves, it could be done though I’m not sure how to go about it.

    Thanks in advance,
    Mark

    DO you want to do this with photos that would actually squash and stretch, or is it more of a sliding and cropping effect ?

    Hi Filip,

    I think for this project cropping would be best. It would nice to know how to apply it to scaling too in case they go that route last minute.

    Thanks,
    Mark
