Hey guys! We're back with a quick video that shows you something simple but very helpful. I'll do my best to send these project files out later today my time since I'm about to go to sleep and they're not all on this machine—that's also why there's no thumbnail. The video itself will likely go live on Wednesday or Thursday.
Useful tutorials don't always have to be flashy. In this one, we show you how a simple gradient can be combined with Posterize to make a displacement map that we can use to make some quick and dirty movement for our graphics.
This kind of setup can easily be applied to anything to add some movement. It's perfect for those types of projects where all you have to work with is a ton of stills.
For some inspiration, check out Roy Cranston's work on Behance.
We also mentioned our FREE Normalize Track script and Daniel Hashimoto's 3D Normalization in AE tutorial. This project uses assets from WB LUTs v1 as well as Corona—no not that Corona. And that's it. We hope you put it to good use when you need something quick.
