In this tutorial, I will show you how you can model scenes using Adobe After Effects that seamlessly integrate texts and objects. You will learn how to work with the build tracking and camera tracking method to insert 3D elements into your scenes. Additionally, I will teach you how to remove existing objects from current scenes using content-aware fill. Follow along with me step by step through the process and discover how to make banknotes fly.
Key Takeaways
- Integration of texts and objects in 3D scenes.
- Removal of objects from existing scenes.
- Utilization of content-aware fill in After Effects.
Step-by-Step Guide
In the first step, you will learn the basics of build tracking to integrate texts or objects into your scene. Start by setting up the tracking in your After Effects project. Make sure to choose suitable tracking points to ensure precise placement. It is important that the camera's movement occurs along a stable axis to create the illusion of a 3D space with your texts.
Once you have successfully completed the tracking, you can insert the text into the scene. Select the text tool and place the text in the desired location in the 3D space. Experiment with the position and size of the text to ensure it fits well into the environment. Readability is crucial, so make sure the text is clearly legible.
After inserting the text, we will now work on removing objects from the scene. You will use the content-aware fill function for this purpose. Select the object you want to remove and use the corresponding function to edit the object. During this editing process, After Effects will analyze the selected area and replace the object with the surrounding content. Ensure precise work to achieve a natural look.
To further refine your project, you can now work on another scenario where pedestrians need to be removed from the beach. Use the same technique as in the previous step: select the pedestrians and use content-aware fill to remove them from the image. This technique makes your scene more lively by eliminating unwanted distractions.
The next step is to remove a boat from the sea. Repeat the process of content-aware fill to seamlessly remove the boat from the footage. Pay attention to the background gradient to keep the result harmonious and ensure viewers do not notice that an object has been removed.
Lastly, we want to make banknotes fly through our 3D scene. Create a new 3D object and animate it to move through the scene. Experiment with different speeds and directions to achieve a dynamic effect. This animation adds pace to the scene and creates visual interest.
Summary
In this tutorial, you have learned how to seamlessly integrate scenes with texts and objects in Adobe After Effects and how to remove unwanted objects. Moreover, you have discovered how to create impressive animations with floating banknotes. With the discussed techniques, you are now able to make your videos more creative and engaging.
