“Projection” in AE

[Nate Vander plas]

[“The “projector” should be placed behind the “screen.”]
You mean behind the AE camera I assume. Well, you might think that the beam effect would do it, but I personally wouldn’t be too happy with that look. Try this series of techniques:
-put your video layer in the spot you want it (on the screen)
-duplicate your video layer
-apply a directional blur or CC radial fast blur to the duped layer
-then use bezier warp to make the shine close to a point (at the projector)
-you may have to do some masking as well
This way you have a shine that corresponds to your video layer. Other than that you may want to try the strobe effect as well, depending on the look you’re going for.

I didn’t quite understand (that happens to me a lot) what you wanted either, but this from Philip is great (if it’s what you’re looking for), and it comes with a project file.
