Fish-eye / curved layer warp in 3d space

[Cassius Marques]

Mettle’s freeform plugin can help you there. A simple B&W layer can guide the plugin to displace your backplate accordingly. There is a bundled version in some releases of AE (Cs5 and 5.5). For CS6 and above you should go to Mettle’s page

Hey, great – i’ll give it a go, thanks!

Cassius pointed you in the right direction, however besides the displacement I recommend using 3d distortion in the same plugin and at least FreeForm V2 if not FreeForm Pro – here are a couple of tutorials that can help:

Thanks guys, its a shame there’s not something free out there though! My computer finds it distressing but perhaps i’ll just use Cinema.. Heard good things about Freeform though, will have a peruse..
