    I want to create an effect where the screen rips from the top left to the bottom right like wrapping paper. Does anyone have any ideas or know of any tutorials for creating a similar effect? Thanks for any help with this!

    Make a new layer (solid) and place it above the layer you wish to rip. Create a “rip edge” matte for the ripped layer to reference. Then use page turn on both ripping layer and its matte layer, keeping in mind that you will need to dup the ripping layer and inverse the matte to leave behind the bottom half. Hope that helps.

    Thanks for your reply, Todd. I did what you suggested and it looks pretty cool! Do you have any ideas for making the paper get crumpled as it rips?

    Use the Roughen Edges effect. You could always shoot it as a practicsal, of course. With some heaviere papers/ cardborads, you get pretty interesting results.

    i take it you are ripping and grabbing the paper to crumple and tear it off? you could try using a displacement map referencing crumpled paper texture you can find out TurboSquid, and using bezier and mesh warp to add more crumple.

    GL!
