Video on sides 3D room
Alright I’ll try to explain as well as i can. K, so the little tutorial on how to create a cool 3D room –
https://library.creativecow.net/articles/kramer_andrew/3D_Room.php
thats the link…
So basically i made my room (not the exact same as Tut) but to my needs, and made the room extra long and it gets to the text rather slow, like i want it to. So what I’m trying to do is get video on both sides of the wall. Not full videos but short video clips i can go through the room, turn the camera and zoom in on the video, that would then go into the actual video that i created in Premiere. Lose you yet? But would i do this in After Effects or Premiere?

I haven’t looked at that tutorial, but I would recommend adding the video on the walls in AE. If the rooms/halls are pre-composed you should parent the video to the wall inside of the pre-comps. If not then you can parent the video to the wall in your main composition. Then you can set the position/orientation of the video layer relative to the wall.
For example, if you first parent the video to a wall, then set the orientation and rotation values of the video all to 0° the video will be perfectly aligned with the wall (its parent).
Then if you were to change the position values to [0,0,0] the video would move so that its anchor point is in the same position as the wall’s anchor point.
From there you would just need to move the video in the X and Y dimensions to slide the video around on the wall. If you want the video layer slightly in front of the wall you could change the Z position value to a negative value.

Also, you want to learn how to use a null layer as the parent of the camera. Just move the null around and the camera will follow. Much easier than trying to program every move of the camera. But it’s not easy.

This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”

is there a tut on how to do so? I do understand (somewhat) but easy way of doing it?

Jarron,
Set your “hallway” up the way you want it. (it sounds like this is already done) Then, you need to place your video shots in 3-D along the wall where you want them. This is going to require some work with rotation and position values, but play around with it until you get the videos where you like them.
The hard part will be animating the camera. You can animate the camera, but this is a lot of work as there are a lot of options and hang-ups.
A popular option is to create a null object, make it 3D, and parent your camera to this null object. For whatever reason, it’s a little easier to animate the null object and have the camera follow. Andrew Cramer talks about this in his advanced Camera tips. It’s tutorial #54 on his website (videocopilot.net/tutorials) That should give you a good starting point. After that, it’s going to be a lot of keyframing to make things look right. Don’t forget to use Easy Ease keyframes to make the animation smooth.
Good luck!!

It will not show my video play while its in 3d, although when I mess the “Y” rotation it somewhat comes in.

Trying to avoid spam here. The dash is a “-” and not a “_” that is VERY important.
