Does anyone know of a repeater plugin that would enable me to apply a repeater effect to images like PNG or JPEG files in After Effects? I know how to do it with vector files that you then convert to shape layers. And I know there are workarounds for adding a repeater effect to images like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVOBkECRLKQ
But I was hoping there might be some plugin I haven't come across yet that simplifies this task.
I've heard of Trapcode Echospace but it's very expensive. I believe you need Trapcode for that which costs over $400.
The expressions in the tutorial you found are all you need. You can improve on them to automate them a little more, but that's all there is to it if you don't have the budget for something more elaborate.
Thank you very much Rick. I'll keep that in mind. Is there a reason why jpegs and pngs can't be converted into shape layers in After Effects like vector images can? Just thought I'd ask. Thanks again. 😀
Images are not vectors, so there is nothing to convert. You can Auto-trace any video or still image to get masks, but that is about it. Auto-trace is limited and can easily overwhelm the program if there is a lot of detail in your image.
