Thanks, I think you might have misunderstood but i should have been more clear on my end.

I mean like i want to use the depth of the video to occlude the geometry im putting in. example: the volume of the floor will cut off the parts of the tao fractal if i put the tao fractal on the “floor”.

I was already using a distort and redistort workflow,…

AE 25.3.1

I have a camera solve with redistortion workflow from syntheyes into AE, and i have a depthmap of the original scene.

I want to put 3d in the scene in the form of red giant tao, and i was planning on using the depth map to extrude the footage so that it is in real 3d, so that it could interact with the 3d that i insert. I have seen…

i think i might just try to convince the school admin.
The library pcs are really weak anyway. thanks for the help

My school recently banned the use of electronic devices during break times, and i usually would edit during those times.

The only thing that is allowed are library computers.
Would it be possible to run after effects off of a portable SSD connected to a computer. There shouldn’t be any files or programs on the computers, everything would have to be…

sorry, i should have mentioned after effects camera

I would prefer to not have to do manual audio editing as there will be a lot of cuts in where the camera is far away, or close, etc. The camera will be moving a lot with lots of different distances.

But after reevaluating, i think i might have to. thanks for the response

Is there a way to make it so that a sound source will automatically get quieter or have more echo or be more muffled as the camera moves away with it. From my understanding, i think it would be possible with a plugin or expression, but i haven’t been able to find one.

Is there a plugin or some calculation to make it that when i have a text layer that i aligned in 2d to appear like that when i change it to a 3d layer.
I understand that the text layer will default to origin when changed to 3d.
Usually the cameras in my project are far from the origin point and at some random rotation, so manually aligning the… Read more
