How to: Multi-Image Pan
I’m curious if anyone has any input on how to create a multi-image pan effect in After Effects similar to what is seen at the 1:23 mark in this video:

So far, the best method I have come up with is to simply arrange the images manually in 3D space, create a camera, and then animate the position of the camera to pan across the images, but I feel like that would take forever just laying out all the images. Anyone have any other method suggestions that may work quicker or more effectively?

You could use a particle system. Precomp and sequence all the images as a single frame each inside of a comp, then use that with “Random Still” mode as the texture for your particle.
Or you could build the random assortment of photos with a script like this:

// adjust these values to taste
minX = -2000;
maxX = 2000;
minY = -1000;
maxY = 1000;
minZ = 0
maxZ = 2000;seedRandom(index, true);
value + [random(minX, maxX), random(minY, maxY), random(minZ, maxZ)];Walter Soyka
