  • How can animate a image or photo in AE CS3?

    Posted by Mark Almond on December 9, 2008 at 8:59 pm

    Hi guys
    I’m new to AE CS3 and was wondering how would I simply animate a photo or a image using a animation preset like you would with text? I don’t know if this is possible.
    I’m looking to create something similar to these examples at this website.

    Any help would be greatly apreciated, as well I do have Photoshop CS3

    That can be tough, because a lot of text presets actually use transformations exclusive to text layers.

    First thing I’d try is using a text layer preset, then replace the footage in your timeline, by holding ALT and grabbing your image in the project window, and dragging it on top of your highlighted animated text layer.

    Hi Andrew

    I Tried that and I got a error message saying “layer does not have a source”

    You could use a transform effect on a picture and that would let you save a preset that you can the reuse
