hi so in this video I'll be showing you


0:02
how 3D camera actually works in After
0:04
Effects and then at the end of the video
0:06
we are going to create these two
0:10
effects so first of all let's understand
What is 3D Camera
0:12
what 3D camera actually is you can add
0:14
it by clicking over here and then
0:16
choosing this now 3D camera is actually
0:18
a cube which has length breadth and
0:20
height which means it has three
0:22
dimensions that's why it's called a 3D
0:24
camera and you can add your objects in
0:26
it to create these kind of effects one
0:28
more thing that you can use is this
Change Angles
0:30
using this you can change angles and see
0:32
your object from every angle like the
0:34
front one like the back one top one the
0:36
bottom one and yeah that's it I know it
0:39
looks and sounds very complicated but
0:40
trust me once you try it it actually
0:42
becomes very easy so I just hope you
0:44
understood the basics and now let's
0:45
create these effects so first of all
Change Layers
0:47
make sure that every layer that you are
0:49
using is below the 3D camera layer and
0:51
after that turn every single layer into
0:52
a 3D layer you can do that by clicking
0:55
on this box and if you don't see this
0:57
just click on toggle switches and you
0:58
should be able to see it now now it will
Position Property
1:00
look kind of messy so you have to adjust
1:02
them by using position properties and
1:04
also make sure you use this because it
1:05
kind of makes adjusting them quite easy
1:08
so we are going to use position property
1:09
to adjust these layers because position
1:11
property has all three dimensions which
1:13
you can control through here the x-axis
1:15
is obviously the right and left the y-
1:16
axis is up and down and the z-axis is
1:19
back and forward don't confuse it with
1:20
scale because a lot of people do it but
1:22
it's not scale okay you are just pushing
1:24
it back that's why it looks small and if
1:26
you just pull it forward it will look
1:28
big that's all and by the way this is
1:30
the most important property so make sure
1:31
you just remember about this now I have
1:33
actually adjusted every single one of
Animations
1:35
them because it takes a lot of time it
1:36
took me around 45 minutes to do so which
1:38
is kind of annoying but you just have to
1:40
do it okay so yeah now let's just add
1:42
the animations okay so first of all
1:43
let's add another another layer and
1:46
after that P the camera to the N
1:49
layer now click on this and hit p and
1:53
make sure you separate the
1:55
dimensions and make sure you make the N
1:57
lay 3D as well I forgot to do it over
1:59
here so yeah make sure you don't forget
2:02
now you can see I can manipulate all the
2:04
all the different properties separately
2:07
like this this the X this the Y and this
2:09
is the Z now I'm going to put a key
2:11
frame on the Z and then I'm going to hit
2:13
R to open up the rotations and I'm going
2:15
to key frame the Z
2:18
rotation and I think I'm going to put it
2:20
to around - 6 yeah that should be fine
2:24
then I'm going to go over
2:27
here then I'm going to put this one to
2:30
zero and I'm going to hit U so that I
2:32
can only see the key frames and I want
2:35
to just increase the Z position until I
2:38
reach the final
2:40
[Music]
2:42
layer yeah I think this should be fine
Graphing
2:45
now I'm going to select the Z position
2:48
and hit up n to easy the key frames then
2:51
I'm going to graph it like this by the
2:53
way this is a speed graph so make sure
2:55
you remember that and I'm going to graph
2:57
it like this after that click on Z
2:59
position as well and hit F9 to easy them
3:02
and I'm going to graph it in a similar
3:05
way see that looks really good in my
3:08
opinion and obviously if you want to
3:10
slow down them you can just increase the
3:13
distance between the key frames and mess
3:14
around with the graph a
3:17
bit yeah that looks really good and as
3:20
you can see I have added a drop shoted
3:21
to these stairs because they kind of
3:23
stand out if I just add the drop shadow
3:26
these are the settings by the way if you
3:27
want to look and yeah there is one more
3:29
effect that I want to show you guys
3:31
first of all let's add a adjustment
3:34
layer and add optic compensation to it
3:38
I'm going to set this one to
3:41
65 and yeah that is it for the video I
3:44
know this is quite basic but I want you
3:45
to cover Basics first so that I can make
3:47
advanced tutorials in the future so yeah
3:49
if you want to watch them just subscribe
3:51
and if you have any tutorial ideas leave
3:52
them in the comment section I'll get to
3:54
them as soon as
3:58
possible oh
