Hello, I am making a short animated video and I have been able to distort - mesh warp the background to unravel as paper. But I cannot repeat this features on a new image - so ontop of the bakcground. Does anyone know why it might not be working and how I can do this please. 🙂
I've moved this from the Using the Community forum (which is the forum for issues using the forums) to the After Effects forum so that proper help can be offered.
Show us a screenshot! The catch probably is that you didn't consider effects b eing based on layer coordinates and sizes and now can't just copy& paste stuff. Pre-composing may be necessary.
hopefully these screenshots help anyone answer my issue :). I am trying to make the door crumble as I have done for the background in image 3. however it will not let me do this to the door then there is a background behind. :(. if anyone can use these images to help and give advice I woudl highly appreicate it 🙂
Your screenshot showing the Mesh Warped wall has the CTI (current time indicator) over the Wall layer, not the door layer. Place the CTI over the Door Layer, select the Door layer, and press 'uu' to reveal all modified properties. You should see the Mesh Warp effect. If you don't see the Mesh Warp effect, press 'e' to show all effects on that layer. Solo the layer and make adjustments if it is there. Make sure the effect is turned on.
Is this on the write track? I have distorted the image but how do I know if it is turned on, will this possible make the door and crumble paper animate as one?
You can animate the properties to change the warp values.
It sounds like you need to at least go through the tutorials in the Learn Workspace or check out the User Guide. Anything with a stopwatch can be animated by setting keyframes.
