Well if you have card wipe or card dance you can easily create a 2 sided layer. It comes only with professional after effects 6 and up. Otherwise you’re going to have to tweak in 3d space a bit. try offsetting the back image. And if you’ve pre-comped remember to collapse transformations in the main comp. (that tiny * button in the timeline window)

This ties in with an issue I’m having trouble with:

Is 16:9 (or anamorphic) In Final Cut the same aspect ratio and screen size as AE’s 720 by 480 DV Widescreen setting? Because when I export a clip from AE into FCP and change its settings to anamorphic I feel like the movie clip is stretched a bit.

Any one know what’s going on?

Thanks,

If it’s a video clip enable time remapping in the layer menu and set two identical time keyframes 5 seconds apart from eachother.

If it’s something you’er animating in After Effects just set two identical keyframes for whatever value you’re animating 5 seconds apart from eachother. Or if you want to stop the motion of several things, precompose the layers and use the video clip method.

Yep,
Either click on the timecode in the upper left section of the timeline window and enter where you want the playhead to go or –

click shift+page down to move ahead 10 frames and page down (which moves you ahead one frame) 3 times.

You have to activate 3d for that object before sizing and positioning it. If you zoom out quite a bit you’ll see it’s wireframe somewhere, probably very lost, but it’s there…

Well, noise I’m sure you’ve thought of.

To simulate scan lines my idea is:
A couple of solids, color doesn’t matter. Masked so that they take up 1/5 or less of the screen. Scrolling down screen and looping. Then add strobe and change the settings so that they go from white to invisible instead of white to another color. Then mess with the settings for frequency of the strobe so that it looks like they’re flickering.

This is hypothetical, tell me if it works.

Straight out of total training:

Create a new null object, make it 3d, parent the camera to it and rotate it. It will act as an axis around which the camera will make a perfect circular pan.

That being said, I think it’s still pretty clumsy try to animate cameras along bezier paths (oriented towards point of interest or not) since I’ve found that AE is prone to getting really really confused about interpolation is 3D space. For example you set two identical keyframes 10 frames apart and somehow the camera wiggles back and forth during these 10 frames. Anyone know why this is?
