Glow Up Your Animation in After Effects | 3D Spin & Time Displacement | Motion Circles

In this video i'm going to show you a process breakdown of a 3D pyramid spin with time displacement effects in After Effects as well as some super easy techniques to glow up your animation. These techniques are applicable to different kinds of animation in After Effects. I'll also be discussing how a few simple ways to really improve the look and feel of your project.

great video! btw it would be really helpful if u could explain that linear key part in detail

[vfxjmb]

for the time displace effect what worked for me without adding FXAA was to use sapphire's timedisplace effect, it has an option to interpolate frames and smoothen the edges perfeclyt

Great tutorial as usual. Thank you so much man! Deserves a sub 🔥

With learning After effect, You inspire me to lose weight😄. Btw, Your new subscriber is here. Came from skillshare

thanks for this tutorial however the Gradient Material section is not explicit enough, it would have been nicer to know why you precomped those layer, how and when. thank you.

hey im working on this lesson but after you made the pyramid shape from points and lined it all up you never talked about how to render it into a 3d shape. You just started on another pyramid from your assets folder. I tried to render it but it is a 2D shape and most of the shape was cut out im guessing because of the 1080 by 1080 comp we started with

King absolutely king 👑
But I've question
The pyramid become 2d when I used in the main composition 🤔

[jackenotion]

how do you animate that rotate y axis to have a 3D effect? I precomped the pyramid, and when I rotated it, it only rotated as an image.

I get transparent gaps between the pyramid's sides stroke when I apply the linear color key. How do I fix this?

[aadams]

I was following fine as a beginner, but have no idea what happened after 5:30...
Also why did you add the time displacement to the map instead of the shape? How did the map know to delay the shape?

😋😋shout out to Stefano malerba's Pyramid Twirl is so good😍 personally his project file help me a lot !

[chrislitmen]

Why do i have jagged edges on the pyramid when I apply the time displacement?

[weown]

bro is apple m3 pro is best for after effects and love you from india

[mrpoj]

i have a problem. when i add inner glow to gradient comp and rotate my pyramid and i can see other sides of the pyramid through sides. it only appears when i add layer styles. for example i can see right left and back sides of the pyramid through front side. i don`t know how to explain this thing any other way
its not opacity bc when i solo layer i can see it
i understand that it appears bc gradient layers aren`t 3d. but in your video everything seems to work just fine...

[jatinsingha]

please re upload coloring precompose..i didnt get it. how did u make again different precompoe of each shape

[eronhoxha]

very cool, but you did not cover the most needed steps

[mouda]

the very first teaching tutorial in history that no one learned from anything . you gatta have to work on your teaching steps dude . u directly jump from step a to step z and voila

[Motions_AP]

I couldn't even finish the tutorial because the linear key portion was not explained at all. I sat here for 40 minutes trying to figure it out myself. Disappointed

[bevanamoke]

desirable project but you skipped the most important parts 💀
