Hey everyone. In this video I'll quickly show you how to easily create a cool 3D Parallax effect in After Effects. With this method you can create a nice Parallax effect with a smart little rig that doesn't require keyframes or expressions. It's really easy and takes away the hassle of putting all your layers in 3D and scaling them up again. Enjoy! :)

Parenting null to all then moving z space is the best trick i learned so far man a big thanks to you.

Not even joking, I've been going back on this video like maybe twice a year since it's been up. Lowkey probably my favorite video on YouTube, and one of the best tutorials I've ever seen too! Thank you for coming in clutch every single time🙏🙏

[RaikuKitty]

Thank you so much for your tutorial! I went through 7 other tutorials before finally finding this one which perfectly suited my needs. Much appreciated for your help!

[Brointhepow]

Efficient, you save me a lot of unnecessary keyframes! thank you very much !

[AgnosticAcqua]

This is easily my favourite AE camera tutorial!!

[dimitryvaillant]

Awesome tutorial ! Clear, not too fast or too slow, perfect.

[SthlmRipper]

Good trick!

I usually chain parent all the layers to eachother, select every layer except the front one and then just move in z and after that scale. Quick and dirty, the only drawback is that all layers will be the same distance from eachother, but i dont find that to be a problem for most scenarios.

I never comment but this is an incredible technique that has saved me SO much time. My design school motion graphics teacher taught us parallax super well, but being able to retain your original composition is next level. I am so tempted to send this to him for future students!

Also this animation is stunning. You're the best!☺

thank you soooo much!!! this is exactly what I needed, easy and fast :) I hope you have an awesome day!

[hey.norins]

Thanks!!! You saved me a lot of trouble and time! Very well explained

You're my hero!
i used to use Apple Motion and in moving to Adobe AE, I no longer hand the scale while moving layers in Z-space.
I've subsequently been using expressions to achieve it, but this is BOSS!!!

The Camera and null was such a saver!!!! Thanks

[petersolomon]

Super, thank you. A lot to assimilate in a few minutes, but very useful.

[MassimilianoMelato]

Fantastic, this greatly optimizes my work! I like it because in this way my scene remains as I had conceived it in photoshop and illustrator.

[johnboutwell]

I use this little trick SO much! good looking out :)

[tomisenveter]

Thank you, that's just what I needed!

It was a great tutorial, thank you very much. 👏🏻

Very creative way to 'reverse engineer' 3D scaling. Thanks for sharing!

[Chieftat]

Great trick. Saves lots of time. Thanks !
