5 Compositing Tricks in After Effects

[@TheMoshMedia]

This was easily one of the best tutorials i have ever seen on compositing. It was actually providing information in a way that was entertaining but more importantly, it was actually educational. Too many of these KZbin videos that are aiming at promoting their sh*t to sell and don't care if you learn or not. You my friend felt like a university prof that actually wanted his students to learn something new.

[@flo.motion]

Thanks a lot for your comment! The goal always is and was: Infotainment!!

[@rgkaczynski]

This is the most in-depth guide about compositing ever! Especially about perspective; I usually just match them by eye. Didn’t know there was an accurate way to do it.

[@flo.motion]

Haha... but once you know how it is done you will see so many wrong owrspectives on posters and so on!! Watch out!!

[@BCS_Official]

I love this GUY... i love and love and love this guy. Never disappointed and have learned what ill say costed me sooooooo much in editing school which i even didnt get it... wow...

[@ninafuger7145]

[@stefanieandersen]

This is hands down the best compositing tutorial I've ever seen! It's so hard to find detailed information about compositing, especially color correction and perspective. Thanks so much for the helpful tips. I'd love to see a step-by-step breakdown of how you composited the alien abduction scene, it would be awesome to understand how you applied the compositing concepts to all of the different elements and footage.

[@flo.motion]

OMFG!! Thank you so so much for your feedback and the nice words!!

[@priscillaalmeida8670]

@@flo.motion I agree with @Step1. this tutorial taught me soo much, aswell as the zebra one that you explain how to level out the blacks and whites. Please add some more tutorials for compositing, they are amazing, so hard to find any good ones that are very well explained like yours. Would love to see more on how to integrate footage. Thanks soo much for these amazing tutorials!

[@thornnorton5953]

Some clarification. This is stuff I also learned online. I'm not a professional by any means. Perhaps some things were simply not explained well. By my knowledge, letterboxes are a solution to the mismatched aspect ratio. Letterboxes, don't make things physically correct. They are inherently a 2d solution to a 2d problem. It's the fit option compared that lets you have all of the image sacrificing it for eye space. The process you explained was the process of using an anamorphic lens. Letterboxes don't inherently come from the process of using anamorphic lenses. Anamorphic lenses let you capture a wider image on a camera. If it's too wide, it will be cropped. It's an if because there can be formats and screens that support the aspect ratio. Also, there can be different amounts of squeezing. It's a separate thing. There's nothing fake about what you did. Nothing is physically more accurate.

[@flo.motion]

Hey! I think we both mean the same thing here! Different lenses create different aspect ratios. To compensate for that we sometimes see black borders at top and bottom and got used to that! So if you have a 16:9 video image and simply crop off top and bottom, even though your lense has full coverage, it still looks a bit more cinematic, as we are used to seeing this! Makes sense?

Oh my gooooooooooooood, you touched on so many, SO MANY questions I've had simmering in my mind for ages.

4:52 how could you tell you were shooting at the same perspective as the tiger footage? In the green screen shot, I can see one of the lines matched up with the box the tiger jumps on, but I don't see any straight lines being matched in the plate

[@flo.motion]
