In this new free video tutorial on After Effects, we will see how to make the famous 3D Coverflow effect on this mac, automatically from a file photo.

The project source (CS4+) is available to download to ease the task and avoid you to rewriting many expressions.

  • Achieve in a few steps the famous Coverflow effect as seen in iTunes, the finder, or on iPods / iPhone, etc. ..
  • Understand the value of expressions to facilitate the process of creation
  • Importing an image sequence into After Effects
  • Discover the "loop" expressions and their "offset" property to create a perpetual motion with a few keyframes

To rename sequentially your files on mac: Automator, installed by defaut. On Pc, it's a little harder.. a bunch of software are available, and google is your friend !

I hope you'll like this preset ! I spent some time on it to make it as user friendly as possible for the end user :)
