for anyone struggling to get the shadow effect - make sure your first polaroid composition has it's Z axis slightly above 0. a shadow can't be cast on an object that is completely flat against the ground! so set it to like -50 and then each polaroid after that go down another -50. so polaroid 1 is -50, polaroid 2 is -100, polaroid 3 is -150, etc.

@AliveRoad 6 жыл бұрын

Very nice tutorial, thanks. Although I ran into a problem in the beginning. When you're adding the spot light and after setting the objects to 3D you grab the Z axis to create the shadow. When I place my cursor on the blue dot it does not show me the Z axis and when I hold and move it, only the polaroid picture moves. Any idea what's wrong? I tried to repeat from the beginning a few times, same issue...

@FlatPackFX 6 жыл бұрын

Ok, make sure you have the correct layer selected first. You could then just try to manually adjust the z axis using the position properties. Hit p on the keyboard to bring this up. Then manually adjust the z number on the left to adjust the axis. If you do this you might also have to adjust the point of interest if it’s the light. Hope that helps!

@AliveRoad 6 жыл бұрын

Thanks, that helped. Still don't know why I couldn't grab the Z axis but adjusting it under position works too.

thanks, becose I've tried in a thousand ways, but I have not been able to get those shadows like that, what should I do?

@FlatPackFX 6 жыл бұрын

Hey Maxtor, the shadows need three elements to work the light, subject (Polaroid) and surface (wood). Go to each part of the video and make sure all your settings match those three. It will be because of one of those your shadows don’t work. You can always take a screenshot and send to me to have a look. Hope that helps FPfx

Hey! When you ask us to press alt and option, I can't find a key on my keyboard called that... I use an Asus, do you know any key that does the same thing as option? Thanks for the tutorial

@FlatPackFX 5 жыл бұрын

Hey, its either the Alt or Opt key 3 one in from bottom left. If your keyboard doesn't have either of those keys just search google for the equivalent key combination. Hope that helps.

this is just my opinion, if you have problem about no shadow on your photo try to adjust the shadow diffusion in the light setting

This is a great tutorial! I need this slideshow to last 3 minutes. Everything looks great until after 30 seconds, everything in the background goes black. Any suggestions?

@FlatPackFX 2 жыл бұрын

Yes to do that you need to extend each of the compositions out in time (Right click in a comp and go to comp settings, then increase time). Then extend all the layers out and keep animating them.

@FlatPackFX 6 жыл бұрын

Hey Victor, hard to say without seeing but the shadow needs three elements to work 1) The light source, make sure its set in the correct position. 2) the polaroid needs to accept the light source. 3) The background needs to accept the shadow not the light. This is where i would look in detail to check if everything matches what ive done in the video. Hope that helps.

Question, I am new to After Effects and I wanted to know the proper way of rendering Layout 1 in the video. I did the effect step by step and just finished it. I didn't see the render options for mp4 so I render it to avi. However, it shook me when I saw the finished video files size. It took *1.93 GB* for a 30 sec video. How to fix it?

The layer is too far forward in 3D space. Select the layer and move backwards on the ‘z axis’ behind the other layers.

@RobertLeeHD 6 жыл бұрын

Hi Sue, have you checked your 3D renderer? Make sure it's on Classic and not Ray-Traced, worked for me. Cheers

@FlatPackFX 6 жыл бұрын

Hi Sue, there may be a number of things going on here. Most of the issues people will have will be with the material options of the background layer not accepting shadows. If you have double checked the light placement then the issue may lay with the background. Hope that helps.

@FlatPackFX 5 жыл бұрын

Hey, you need to turn the transparency background on yours is set to black. It’s the little button bottom middle of viewer. You can create a pre comp the same size and fill the difference with a white or scale your image larger and trim the edges off. Hope that helps

If i move the Z axis, the "polaroid" comp dissappears... Can you help with this problem ?

@FlatPackFX 6 жыл бұрын

Hi, thanks for the comment. Generally this means the Polaroid is moving beyond the background plane. Try switching your view to “2 view” this will give you a view from front and above. It will make it easier to see where the edge is from a side on angle. Hope that helps you out!

I would double check the layer properties for the Polaroid. It may be accepting shadows only. Or you have another layer between the Polaroid and light source.
