Amazing Optics Compensation - Adobe After Effects Tutorial

Jacquelin Vanderwood April 1, 2004   1 Using the Optics Compensation effect can result in amazing animation results. Below is the default view of the effect and the sun we'll use for this demonstration. 2 Using FOV set at 112 causes the sun to shrink in a twisted manner somewhat like a fisheye.   3 At this point if we check Reverse Lens Distortion, the sun distorts outward.   4 Select FOV Orientation and choosing Diagonal causes the sun to twist in on itself.    5 Changing the View Center also distorts the sun in a variety of ways.   6 Checking Optimal Pixels distorts the sun in a more perspective manner. Notice that after Optimal Pixels it says that this feature invalidates reversal. 7 Selecting Max 2X from Resize super distorts perspectively. If you choose Max 4X, this pushes the sun off of the screen edges.   8 First keyframe: set it up with the specifications below.   9 Move to keyframe 4. Check Field of View and set to 0.   10 Try different settings for various animations.   Copyright 1998-2004, Jacquelin Vanderwood, All Rights Reserved
