yes of course! If you have any issues, let me know!

I’m not sure I understand what you are trying to say in regards to fade between compositions. I assume you mean crossfading between each of the shots? This is possible but would require a few steps. Can you send me a message on my profile page and then I can guide you through the steps.

Cheers, Mark

Hi there! Send me an email on my profile page and I will give you details of how to slow down project. Cheers, Mark

Sorry, there is no way within After Effects to slow down the images without dramatically affecting the quality of the project. You could export your project and attempt to do this in editing software, but I would not recommend it. In general, reducing speed produces unpleasant, jittery and blurry footage.

Cheers, Mark

I will investigate a simple way to slow down the project and get back to you. Cheers, Mark

Hi there, frames were created in a 3D program and then exported for After Effects. Cheers, Mark

i see so it’s 3d object instead of a export it as video…

The project allows you to add your own photos and text and export it as video as seen in the preview video

Hi there, yes, that’s normal! Hopefully you are happy with the result. Because of the complexity of the project, particularly using camera lens blur, and multiple layers of film noise, particle systems and flares, large render times are unavoidable unfortunately. I’ve tried as much as possible to simulate realism and the downside to this complexity is a slow render. I attempted to make the process of placing images and text simple and straightforward, so that the user can simply set the project to render overnight. I will continue to tweak the project and attempt to reduce render times without affecting the quality of the project. Cheers

No, no complaint – results are spectacular ! Just got to be very patient, start the render before going to sleep…

Thanks for comments. The image placeholders are comps that can be occupied by image, video, text, etc. To place video, simply drag your video in the image placeholders and scale to fill frame. If you have any trouble, let me know. Cheers.

Thanks… I see the Replace Images folder. Are you saying I should just replace footage with videos ? Where can I find the image placeholders?

Under replace images, open up the image number (this correlates with the frame number) that you wish to place the video. Drag your video into the timeline or the preview window. When you preview the final comp, the video will be playing in the frames. Cheers

Hi there. The project is designed around the revealing of the 38 framed images on a wall. However, if you do want to re-use the frames with different images, the simplest way to add more images would be to render the project twice (with 2 sets of images) and then edit together in video editing program (imovie or movie maker would do the job). Cheers.

Thanks for letting me know. I’ll get onto it ASAP . Cheers

Hi there, thanks for your comments. The 3D elements were created in Cinema 4D, and exported as jpeg sequences for compositing (I normally export tiff but jpeg keeps the file size low). I also export a variety of multipasses (shadows, ambient occlusion) to make the added composited elements in After Effects feel like they are in the same 3D space.

Hi there. If you could send me a message via my profile page, we can hopefully get this resolved. What happens when you open the untitled project? What version of After Effects are you using? Cheers

Hi there, thanks for comments. Because the 38 images form the structure of the frames on the wall, adding new photos would require recreating the template from scratch. I hope to develop another template with same look and feel but with a much larger number of image placeholders in the near future. Cheers
