Question

Vanishing point

OK, here goes.

Select an image, say a narrow street showing to the end.

In Photoshop,select Filter > Vanishing Point.

Go through the process of making the Planes required. 

Export for After Effects .vpe > Open After Effects, import the .vpe you just created.

Double click the Composition folder > AAAARGH

This is where it goes pear shaped and is my question, See the attached screenshot.

How on earth do I put the Planes into the viewport, is there an easy way to do this, I have tried dragging, fiddling with Parent / Transform settings. It is a nightmare to place the planes in the viewport, and I’ve never managed to make it fit nicely. Can anyone suggest a method?

Thanks in advance.

    Thanks Kevin, I will look at that today. UK time, however there were two videos, the first one says 

    Sorry

    This video does not exist.

     

    The Second appears to be there. I have managed to make a vanishing point video I am happy with before, my sticking point is, if you look at the second video at 3m 35sec the screen shows the assembled planes, and they are only slightly off centre.

    Fine and dandy, I can fix that, when I did the last one of mine, if you look at the screenshot, mine are soooo far out I don’t have a quick answer.

    What I did was to make it smaller, Left click to drag / capture all the planes, then drag them closer to the centre THEN I could straighten them up.

    What I want to avoid in the first place is to have them appear both wonky, and almost out of the view port. Does that make sense?

    I have managed this nicely before and I do appreciate the link, it’s a good video, but it’s too perfect to resolve my problem!

    NOTE. A related query…

    1. How do I specify the length of the clip, I want 10 sec but the timeline is longer by default, I am missing something.
    2. When I render it, the only option I see is save as AVI, where is that set for other options?
    3. Thanks!
