- '3D Parallax Effect' Rig - After Effects Tutorial
Hey everyone. In this video I'll quickly show you how to easily create a cool 3D Parallax effect in After Effects. With this method you can create a nice Parallax effect with a smart little rig that doesn't require keyframes or expressions. It's really easy and takes away the hassle of putting all your layers in 3D and scaling them up again. Enjoy! :)

I never comment but this is an incredible technique that has saved me SO much time. My design school motion graphics teacher taught us parallax super well, but being able to retain your original composition is next level. I am so tempted to send this to him for future students!
Also this animation is stunning. You're the best!☺
Wow that's awesome to hear :) Thanks so much for your nice comment and watching the video. If you want to see how I animated this character walking, you can also find the tutorial for that on my channel :) Cheers!
I use this little trick SO much! good looking out :)
Ik hoor dat je Nederlands bent. Bedankt voor deze tutorial :)
its simple but effective much needed rig thanks
Thanks a lot man ❤❤
THANK YOU!!!!! Omg I spent so much time learning and taking so much time to individually place things
Awesome to hear!! :)
Amazing. Definitely shaves off TONS of time and frustration.
Nice! would love the full tutorial as well.
Here it is! :)

Parenting null to all then moving z space is the best trick i learned so far man a big thanks to you.
Wow, thanks a lot for sharing this!!
Always remember to repent of your sins (sin is transgression of YAHUAH’S LAW: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, & Deuteronomy) And Have Belief On YAHUSHA HAMASHYACH. HE Died and Rose Again On The Third Day So that you can be forgiven of your sins!
HE Loves you! Come to HIM!🙂🙂
If you're doing this with an imported Photoshop file make sure you have continuous rasterization for your layers off!
How do I do that?
When I turn it off, some effects (like shadows) disappear. Dou you know why this happen or what can I do to fix it?
@@renansilqueira no, i don't, sorry :( my guess would be to explore pre-comping solutions?
I think this option is available only for vector files. Illustrator, not Photoshop.
Awesome technique, would love to see the character animation also 👍😀
Thanks! Okay it seems that more people want to see the rest of the animation in a tutorial so I will do that soon! :) Cheers!
@@CampKeyframetutorials hi, do you do the character animation tutorial?? looks vere cool
@@jeanx777 Here it is! :) ruclips.net/video/xZ-Z_3gGc_Y/видео.html
@@CampKeyframetutorials ❤🎉😊
It's a beautiful animation 🙏🏻✨ But I didn't understand the logic of parenting the camera to null object; when you scale the null object what really happening to the camera? Are there scaling the widening or change the zoom size of the camera? Sorry for my bad English 🥶
ahmet baykara, your English is a lot better than that of many people born and raised in predominately English speaking countries. I believe the answer to your question is yes, but I too would like to hear this confirmed by the Camp Keyframe.
Why not just have multiple null-objects for each layer and then via expressions multiply the position by an amount above 1. This is how I do it usually, no need to set the layers in 3D at all. Example: null1 = 1x, null2 = 1.5x, null3 =2x and so on. Then Simply link the object to that specific layer and your all set. + I'd say it's easier to do adjustments to the parallax later on.
What expression works best for this?
@@outlanderfrog
Did you find it?
@@shriefallam8866 unfortunately, no!
Niiiiiceeee!!!!!!
Anyone else having trouble using this suddenly? This was my go-to technique for parallaxing, and suddenly it doesn't work. Is this an AE2023 thing?
Check out the (free) Pear Relax preset from AE Screens for a workaround. :)
can i download the material on this video sir
Great video. I followed all of the steps but when I scale up the Null Object on the Camera moved, not the layers. I do have the camera parented to the Null. Any suggestions?
Genious!
thanks for the video!!
You are welcome! :) Thanks for watching.
Thank you very much for sharing! ❤
Awesome tutorial! Pls, share with us also the character animation. It will be very interesting! Thank you in anticipation!
Thanks! Okay it seems that more people want to see the rest of the animation in a tutorial so I will do that soon! :) Cheers!
@@CampKeyframetutorials thank you very much!❤
Sorry but this does not deserve the title tutorial...
Tutorial is explaining step by step any single procedure from the very start and not taking from granted anything...
I am really disappointed by people when they think they explained something when in fact they only explained it to themselves and to a few other people that don't need the explanation because they already know it...
For someone that don't know anthing about AE and try to learn this is not the way...I
You don't explain what you selecting when you selecting, what you are doing when you are doing it and why. You just started on the middle of the project and just start doing things.
I really don't want to be mean..really...but that video is not a tutorial...
It's a demonstration...
Nice explanation, thank you! Would like to see the whole tutorial :-)
Thanks! Okay it seems that more people want to see the rest of the animation in a tutorial so I will do that soon! :) Cheers!
@@CampKeyframetutorials Amazing :-)
Not even joking, I've been going back on this video like maybe twice a year since it's been up. Lowkey probably my favorite video on RUclips, and one of the best tutorials I've ever seen too! Thank you for coming in clutch every single time🙏🙏
I literally tried to do something like this today and failed. I’m glad i saw this tutorial, gonna try again at the animation using this method!
Awesome! Glad I could help :)
this really helped me! 🙏 Just make sure to set the view from standard to camera. I was confused for a second 😆
Not sure if I am doing something wrong or if maybe this trick doesn't work in the new After Effects, but I followed everything exactly and then when I scale the Null the layers move back in Z space but then they also scale down.
I actually just found the answer in these comments thanks to @Himanshu Kosaria . You need to make sure your main view is set to "Active Camera" not "Default"
@@ConnorTempTV really helpful, thanks
This is easily my favourite AE camera tutorial!!
Super! Would like to see the character animation! :D
Thanks! Okay it seems that more people want to see the rest of the animation in a tutorial so I will do that soon! :) Cheers!
Hi Please share me the background or link?
Using this technique, can I still allow enabling depth of field on the camera and rack focus?
with all the extensions you have installed you didn't find one that sets up the layers for you automatically yet ? 😛
I wonder to see the graphs i mean I never used these curves how can I download this?
This is a great method. It would have been nice if you had shown how to modify the layer distance afterwards though.
Hey thanks! :) Yeah you're right, I wanted to make it as short as possible just to explain it quick. But if you want to modify the layer distance afterwards, you should parent all the layers below the one you would modify (so the layers that are further back) Then you can scale the null again to change the distance. Then un-parent again and that should work :)
MAKE LOUDER !!!
GOOD TECHNIQUE !~
Efficient, you save me a lot of unnecessary keyframes! thank you very much !
Can someone tell me what dimensions are used to make the drawing so wide at the beginning of the video? 0:47
You're my hero!
i used to use Apple Motion and in moving to Adobe AE, I no longer hand the scale while moving layers in Z-space.
I've subsequently been using expressions to achieve it, but this is BOSS!!!
Hey Mark, that's awesome!! :) Cheers!
Wow I've been doing everything wrong! This is way too easier! Thank you my saviour!
Haha glad I could be of service then! :)
For some reason, this isn't working since I updated to AE 23.1.0. Noticed a couple of other users in the comments section mentioned the same. If anyone has a workaround, please let me know!
Set view to active camera not default
doesn't work on ae 2021
You need to make sure your main view is set to "Active Camera" not "Default"
Omg finally I found the secret! Thanks dude!! 🙏🙏
where are workfiles of this course?
Good trick!
I usually chain parent all the layers to eachother, select every layer except the front one and then just move in z and after that scale. Quick and dirty, the only drawback is that all layers will be the same distance from eachother, but i dont find that to be a problem for most scenarios.
Thank you so much for your tutorial! I went through 7 other tutorials before finally finding this one which perfectly suited my needs. Much appreciated for your help!
Help? When I tried to use this method it affected my design completely. Has anyone had this happen? Its a great tutorial, I followed it multiple times, just isn't working on my end.
Awsome !
Im a huge beginner on this and i have work to do.
My challenge is that my scene is not tbat short...ive gotta simulate a travel ... Like if we were inside a car wathching through the window but the road or even the landscape is not the same.
What should i do ?
Make a veeeery large image in illustrator o phothop and then modify the position with a statuc camera?
What do you recomend me ?
Thank you !
How did you make the foreground and background blurry in ae , they look clear in illustrator
Hi again, in your top view the camera is showing although the layer is not selected, and the camera triangle is about 30 degress, I don't see the camera and the shape is about 60 degrees, what do I miss?
It was a great tutorial, thank you very much. 👏🏻
I have also tried that null and camera combo.. but not like this.. this trick looks more interesting.. definitely trying this in my next project! Thanks a lot. :)
thank you so much? its incredible!
Camp Keyframe always come with some unique technique.
😎😎😎
is there a way to loop this parallax effect? would love a tutorial on looping parallax too ^^
*It Is 3D Or 2.5D Parallax Scene?*
The layers are put in 3D space so that part is 3D. But the layers themselves are flat 2D illustrations. So yeah you could say that this is 2,5D. Or maybe a 'Fake 3D depth effect' haha.
*That's Good* 😀
please make toturial
The Camera and null was such a saver!!!! Thanks
Hey man, I was wondering, if it would be fine for you, if i use the first 10 seconds of your video to explain a physical phenomenon in my video. Great work!
post meterials bro
Extremely helpfull tutorial! Thank you for sharing!
Awesome! Thank you for watching :)
Pls, share with us also the character animation. It will be very interesting! Thank you in anticipation!😍🤩
Could someone explain why this works? I'm trying to figure out but unable to yet.
Okay, I figured out the logic behind this. If anyone needs to learn, please feel free just reply to this message. I'll type it out here. Not doing it now cause I don't have time and for all I know, no one may see this.
How?
I have been thrilling people in my office since I learnt this cool trick. Nice one! Very grateful.
Brilliant tip, thank you!
Hello! It's a great trick! But unfortunately I can't repeat it. I repeat all the steps till parent all layers to null object and when I begin to scale every layer they begin to move on the screen also. For example, I scale null object from 100% to 110% then layers move far from me on the screen like on the first part of this video. I hope I explained well. Why is this happening? What am I doing wrong?
I think you should only scale the null object not the layers. Hope this helps.
Thank you, this is really helpful.
So usefull thank you very much
im using this method in 2022 for some reason ive found it doesn't work with the most up-to-date version of after effects, i have to go into v18.4.3 to get it to work or otherwise when you scale they dont stay the same size in the camera view. idk if there's an easy fix to this but for anyone who might be having that issue maybe try an older version.
Yes I'm having exactly this problem myself 😬
ha, that's genius, thank you so much for sharing! x
This is great, thanks for sharing. Would the same technique work with shape layers it even pre-comps created directly in AE rather than illustrator layers?
sir, please teach us the guy animation
Here it is :)
ruclips.net/video/xZ-Z_3gGc_Y/видео.html
Is this the kinda stuff I'm gonna learn in my animation class this year? Seems kinda cool!
Awesome video guys! And yes, I would love to see how you animated the little guy and the rest ;-)
Thanks! Okay it seems that more people want to see the rest of the animation in a tutorial so I will do that soon! :) Cheers!
Yes its gone be great fun for animating this little guy
Thanks! Okay it seems that more people want to see the rest of the animation in a tutorial so I will do that soon! :) Cheers!
Hey, I have a really long illustration that should scroll all the time with seamless transition while getting the story across, about 18 * 1920px, so I run into a problem where some elements near the end get really far away from where they should be by the time they're showed on screen. How could I fix it, maybe split it into sections or something similar? If you have any ideas, please let me know, thanks in advance!
Dankjewel Bas! vanmiddag heb ik een animatic gemaakt met de hand (beweging afgekeken van video die ik had gemaakt vanuit de trein) en bedacht daarna dat alles de andere kant op moest bewegen, zucht, maar het parallax effect is dus heel gemakkelijk! Ik ga nu je andere video bekijken
I tried this, but my layers scaled up when scaling the null object..
the null needs to be positioned with the same coordinates as the camera for the effect to work
wow thank you
🤯
Thank you very much!!!
This technique is amazing but doesn't appear to work if any of these layers are pre-comped. For example, I have a layer of a train moving in the background which is pre-comped. The parallax effect is working perfectly well on all other layers but the pre-comped layer remains motionless when moving the null/camera.
Nvm I figured it out. All layers inside the pre-comp must also be made 3D for them to behave appropriately.
@@mzhang654 I have converted all the layers inside precomp into 3d but its still not working everything is scaling up.
Is there any solution to it
When scaling the null everything is scaling as well.
I have converted all the layers to 3d inside the precomps and the precomps as well but its still not working.
Thanks in advance
I'm facing the same issues - all the layers are scaling when I scale the null object
@@NikhilShrestha No problem I figured it out while changing to 2 views make sure your 1st preview is top view and second is active camera not camera 1
@@himanshukosaria449 I just tried that too - still doesn't seem to work
@@himanshukosaria449 I also tired adding an expression to the child layer but I'm getting various errors
I just remade the comp with still images and that seems to have fixed this - it didn't work with the precomps that I had made. Resolved now!
Do the character animation.
Yep I will! :)
hi, i have a problem that my layers keep moving when I scaled my null even when I have done exactly the same as what you do.. I'm using composition instead of Ai files layer, does it matters?🥺
If you use compositions you have to turn every layer inside of the composition to 3D! Then it works
@@leonkobus6547 Ahhh it makes so much sense now! Thank you!
This wonderful trick cuts my parallax rig time to 1/3 of the time method I used to use took. Thank you so much!
OK. SO I was able to do this once. I came in to demonstrate this the next day, and now when I turn on 3D for my layers and NUll, all of my layers except the bottom one disappear in the composition. I can solo them and they appear but when they are all turned on and 3d I can only see the background layer. . I am using the same files that I used successfully the day before. Does anyone have a clue why this is happening?
Great trick. Saves lots of time. Thanks !
brilliant - very clever
Fantastic, this greatly optimizes my work! I like it because in this way my scene remains as I had conceived it in photoshop and illustrator.
Good tip, thanks
Very creative way to 'reverse engineer' 3D scaling. Thanks for sharing!
Yes... please make tutorial that but and all animation in the scene😊😊😊😊
Thanks! Okay it seems that more people want to see the rest of the animation in a tutorial so I will do that soon! :) Cheers!
woooowwww soooo coool
WOW MAN
Mind = Blown!
Super useful trick, thanx a bunch !
What are these interpolation presets you have on the top right corner ? Is that a plugin you've installed ?
Hey! Thanks :) That's a plugin indeed, it's called 'Flow' and you can buy it at aescripts.com. Cheers!
@@CampKeyframetutorials great thx
never was a big fan of the graph editor in Ae, problem solved ,)
Would love to see the animation!
Yep I will do that soon! :)
thank you soooo much!!! this is exactly what I needed, easy and fast :) I hope you have an awesome day!
Thanks a bunch, this looks just like the solution to my problem!
Awesome! That's great to hear :)
nice trick
great tutorial ! btw null object is not snapping to camera it just goes to the left top corner when i put 000 on position after link it to the camera. great tutorial can anyone help me? ty
dunno if its too late but you may have forgotten to put the 3D Layer tool option on
@@nosirrah6213 hey! thanks a lot for the answer really apreciate it! I never found out what caused this , when i take back the animation project i will see if this was the issue. Anyways thank you again for trying to help!
