Motion Design Technique

[potataChipz]

Hi there. I have a question about 2d motion design in after effects. Now, in advance, i am sorry if we are not allowed to send links in this channel, but I have not seen anything saying we can't.

You can see that the whole screen moves right like a mirror but it is repeated. Do you know how you would do this?

Thanks!

Hi potataChipz! An easiest way is to work with pre-comps, If you have a Main Comp, create a new comp inside her, make the animation, back to the main comp and duplicate the composition.

Now you have the same animation in 2 comps and 2 layers.Now you can animate using position from rigth to the left, BUT the duplicated comp will work like your "mirror" you will need to match the edges of the comps, the Right side of the first with the Left side of the Second. Also you can flip horizontal to really make a mirror.

Hi, you can use the Mirror Effect (or if you want to explore that style of graphic have a play with the CC Kaleida Effect, it can do amazing geometric type things).

You need to create the animation in a comp with the half size of your final composition than duplicate this animation and flip one of them to the reverse direction, check this small file where i create a small example to let you understand who it work
