Basic 3D--AE This effect manipulates a clip in an imaginary three-dimensional space. You can rotate your image around horizontal and vertical axes and move it toward or away from you. With Basic 3D, you can also create a specular highlight to give the effect of light reflecting off a rotated surface. The light source for the specular highlight is always above, behind, and to the left of the viewer. Because the light comes from above, the image must be tilted backward to see this reflection. This can enhance the realism of the three-dimensional appearance. Swivel Controls horizontal rotation (rotation around a vertical axis). You can rotate past 90 degrees to see the back side of the image, which is the mirror image of the front. Tilt Controls vertical rotation (rotation around a horizontal axis). Distance to Image Specifies the image's distance from the viewer. As the distance gets larger, the image recedes. Specular Highlight Adds a glint of light that reflects off the surface of the rotated layer, as if an overhead light were shining on the surface. In preview mode, the specular highlight is indicated by a red plus sign (+) if it is not visible on the layer (the center of the highlight does not intersect the clip) and a green + if the highlight is visible. You must render a preview before the specular highlight effect becomes visible in the Program view. Preview Draws a wireframe outline of the three-dimensional image. Because manipulating an image in three-dimensional space can be time-consuming, the wireframe renders quickly so you can manipulate the controls to get the rotation you want. Deselect the Preview control when you finish manipulating the wireframe image to see your final results. Applying Effects > Video effects included with Premiere > Basic 3D--AE |
