Hey all - it looks like trying to link to this jsx means a lot of browsers are opening it like a webpage of text instead of knowing to save it as a file. I think you can right-click ‘save as’ but if it’s not working, you can paste all that text into notepad and saving with the extension .jsx - I’ll see if we can get it to download as a file or zip or somethin’ shortly.

This should be an integrated function in After Effects. Is crazy how complicated it is to do camera projections using the "official" technique. Thanks a lot guys for creating this tool! Is part of my daily vfx workflow already.

The greatest after effects series in KZread history!!!

yeyyy finally new cheap tricks episodes i really love it a lot

Thank you Hashi! At first, I thought this was about "3D-PreCompose" but I will try the masking feature. Anything to make Masking and/or Alpha Matte easier is always good. Thanks!

I just used it and its just great Loved it

Awesome tool, really useful for VFX compositing. Now that After Effects has some new 3D capabilities, would be incredible to take this to the next level and finally have something like this but doing projections on 3D imported objects based on the camera position, like a real projector. That would be a very profitable plugin that any comper would pay for.

What a nifty tool! Thanks for sharing My VFX workflow often involves working on ungraded footage that I later replace for finished renders. Unfortunately, this makes the 3D Plane Stamp less useful as it creates the PNG before the graded footage relink. I'm wondering if there's a modified approach in which this tool might instead precompose a freeze frame of the source footage that would be stretched appropriately to work the same way in the 3D camera tracked space - but allowing for source footage to be replaced afterward.

Is there a reason after I stamp it , it creates the file but the transform settings are not applied. I have to copy and paste them and then it looks correct.

If you are on a Mac - when you copy/paste the script into TextEdit, you need to go to your menu bar > Format > Make Plain Text. Then when you do File>Save, save it out as 3D_Plane_Stamp.jsx and MAKE SURE you uncheck the box that says "If no extension is provided use .txt"

pre-stabilize comp based 3d camera tracker ?

Great Video!!! I would like to know, is there a tutorial about recreating the same type of shot as the one at 0:36 ? I mean the one with the little girl walking on the edge of a skyscraper? I could'nt find something similar so far...thanks!!!!!

Once you get a decent camera track, you can put planes in 3D space of textures that you need. It helps a ton to have a clear line to add things in like the edge of the concrete here.

is there a way to change it from making it export a image to just create a prestablize comp ???

Can you show how to make glass shards? Like from a broken window?

@MaxonRedgiant

Жыл бұрын

There are a number of ways you could do that. Here's one: First, you need some breaking glass. Trapcode Particular comes with some broken glass presets. You could use the Shatter effect that's native to AE. Or you could grab some stock footage of breaking glass. Then, you would add some displacement (or chromatic displacement) to your footage using the glass to drive the displacement and then screen the glass back on top of it.

Nice tool. Thanks for that. Is there any possibility to save out other formats than a png? Especially with a higher bit depth than 8bit.

@MaxonRedgiant

Жыл бұрын

The reason this is using a PNG is because AE lets scripts write them. Other formats (and bit depths) would require you to have a specifically formulated output module in place and this was the easiest to use solution. That's not to say there might not be another solution available, but this is what they've got so far.

Why would my freeze be darker than the original. Its at full resolution?

My guess is color depth or color space. Try converting to 8 or 16 bit and then running it - if you’re in 32. My next hurdle on this script would be figuring out how to make it deal with all color depths and spaces properly. Will do when I find the time!

We did it because PNG export is accessible without going through the render queue - I’m not currently knowledgeable enough to add it to the Render Queue (because if a script does it, it requires an output module to be written into it and added to AE to avoid issues on various machines). One day maybe!

@@theActionMovieKid I understand! make sense! And what about to just create precomp with the freeze frame inside. Like what the Mocha Import script does. So we can actually render that freeze frame if we need to, But it will work without rendering anything. With PNG it can't be use for any professional work, when I can't compress my client's files. usually I need to work the entire workflow with Open EXR on ACES color space. Even the content aware fill creates EXR when you want to export a reference frame.
