Hey Matt,

Thanks for that, thought you may have cracked it for me then… though maybe you can still get it to work.

I need the seam at the bottom, but I need the seam to open up from the bottom and bend round to the top (from 180 degrees to 0 degrees), and therefore the footage disappears. It becomes a transition.

Hope that makes sense and thanks again!

Many thanks

Hi Matt,

Thanks for your response.

Yes, I did look at that, it’s almost the reverse of what I want, which is annoying. And swapping it to Polar to Rect doesn’t rectify that.

Seems that it’ll just need some fudging.

Many thanks

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your quick response.

Sounds like you’re getting the idea, and I have tried those, along with the Reshape tool etc. It’s not giving me the smooth effect I need. It may be a case of just spending more time on it and tweaking.

Many thanks

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your reply.

I do need more information. Trying to figure out the entire workflow from camera, through Flair and ending in After Effects.

I am in talks with a hiring company, but it would be good to hear if anyone has managed to do it.

Many thanks

Hi Chris,

Thank you for all your help, I can feel this getting very close.

I noted that I needed to change ‘value*(find/100)’ to ‘value/(find/100)’ otherwise the image scales the wrong way.

It’s close, but not perfect, here is the result:

Does the expression need to know the position of the photo frame on which the layer should be attached?

Thanks again

Hi Chris,

I didn\’t realise that \’the camera is at z=100 \’ was not part of the expression, and though it seems to work, it seems to be doing the opposite where the image scales up as the camera moves back. Could be because I\’m moving in negative z-space?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Many Thanks
Shaun Harrison

Hi Chris,

Thank you for your message.

I’m not big on expressions, which field or fields should this expression be added to? Have tried the position and the scale attributes of the layer that needs manipulating, to no avail.

Many Thanks
Shaun Harrison

Hi,

OK, so I’ve managed to manually match the position that’s not an issue. The composition actually only has three keyframes/movements, but the problem I’m having is matching the scale of the layer to the camera z-space movement.

I know there’s a science behind the position being spatial and the scale being temporal. What I’m getting is that the layer is scaling up too fast therefore not matching the smooth movement of the background. I have tried playing with the keyframe handles in the graph editor, but I still end up with a slight jerky movement.

Is there some math that can be done to convert the cameras z-space position into what the layers scale property should be? I’m happy to keyframe every frame to achieve the result.

Many Thanks
Shaun Harrison
