iTunes effect
New to expressions, though I’ve used AE for quite some time. I’m wondering how difficult it would be to create the effect like the iTunes ‘flip through albums.’
I’d like to take a few dozen video clips, line them up, kind of like a deck of cards, and flip through them, pausing slightly as each comes center stage.
Has anyone done this, or is there a tutorial that might step me through this sort of effect?Thanks kindly

Thank you. This is great. I guess I didn’t search the right terms.
Again, thanks. -
I have the AE project called itunes_browser. For someone who doesn’t know expressions, can anyone explain how to control the movement of the “albums”? I’ve tried the slider, with no luck.

I used the Itunes_browser project as a starting point for a 10 minutes piece. The slider worked great. I don’t know much about expressions, but was able to create many more layers, copying the expression and adjusting some of the parameters so the new layers moved in relation to the others.
By sliding the slider left or right, it controlled each layer. I replaced the solid in each layer with footage. I don’t know what else to tell you about the slider. I just dragged it and created keyframes. Eased the keyframes. Worked like any other keyframeable item, like position or scale.I’ll make my project into an mp4 later today and post it. It turned out great.

Thanks Scott. I downloaded the raw ae file again today and it worked fine. I have not converted it to NTSC yet…, nor the frames per second…that may be what broke everything yesterday! Any advise for how to do that properly?
Maybe I should create a new NTSC comp, drop the “reflections” into it and render from there. Sound good?
-
I just went into each of the compositions’ settings and changed it to NTSC 29.97. I thought it might mess it up a bit, but it worked just fine.
