After Effects Video Tutorial: Cinematic Crop
Easily create a cinematic crop in After Effects using this quick-tip by Mikey Borup.
Creating a cinematic crop in After Effects is really easy to do, if you know how to do it correctly. In the past I have tried various techniques such as using a rectangle masks with inconsistent results. But in the After Effects tutorial by Premiumbeat Blogger Mikey Borup, Mikey shows us how to simply create a cinematic crop using the motion tile effect.
The video covers:
- Creating cinematic crop
- Dealing with transparency
- Using the Set Matte effect
This is of course for creating a cropped or “letterboxed” look. If you are wanting to crop your entire composition you can do so by clicking command+shift+N and adjusting the composition height.
