Mosaic photo reveal?

I want to make a mosaic photo show like the one here at 1.13 - 1.34: https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=edCniHS8oZg . I won't buy the effect, as I want to be able to build it from scratch. I'm an absolute newbie, so any information or tutorials would be much appreciated.

The technique you are trying to copy uses animation developed and alignment techniques to distribute layers and animate their way in 3D space. There are several shots in the example in the video. I would start by each of them as a separate then model change models in Premiere Pro or if your transitions are simple you can change them in After Effects.

When you start to draw such a project you want to think backwards and work backward to break down each move in separate animations so you don't get overwhelmed. In this example, you want to end up with something like this:

The intro to the video said drop 100 pictures this grid is 33 X 19 so if each grid must be a single photo, you'll need 627 photos end up with something like the previous move. The grid lines can be achieved with him generate > grid effect so that the part is easy.

As I look closely at this picture, I see many duplicates in the pictures then perhaps you could go out with 100 or less. The best way to get the overlay to the final image is to start with 2 layers, grid which contains photos and a photo of the boy. To get the mixture that you see that you could put the grid above the photo of the child and the whole then overlay mode and animate the color of fusion. You can get different looks by changing blend modes. Now you understand how to make the last shot of the sequence. You just need to understand how to get the images in a grid.

It would be a good time to talk about the size of the image. If you have 600 or so 20 megapixel images in your publication all scaled down of these tiny squares it will take a ton of time and resources to resample them. You also have to find a way to crop and place each of them in their frame square unless they were pictures of squares. He's probably going to be a very good idea to use batch processing in Photoshop to crop each picture to a square and resize them to something that will be more usable in After Effects. You can place each photo inside a separate squares model which has a reasonable size for the project and then scale and position each photo in their own comp. do it manually would take a lot of time so an expression here would help speed things up. As long as you turn collapse transformations with nested compositions that would be no AE to recalculate the pixels for each image. It's not as fast as to resize the images before, but it would be useful. Wait, I'm getting ahead.

The previous shot is a camera panned across the grid of pictures. The camera sees all the photos so this picture doesn't have as many images as the next move. You will always find a way to get the images in a grid and use this technique to build the last shot in the sequence.

Here's where things start becoming more complicated. Each image must be in a specific position, so it will be easier to distribute all images on the grid and then save one image at a time and fly upwards and out of the grid. To get the images in a good position and move the camera easily, you'll need make each image a 3D layer and rotate the image in X so that you can build the grid to plan Y. Z always thinking back, without the help of expressions or scripts, the best way of all images aligned in a grid on the Y-Z plane would get to start 2D images by and lay them in a grid, and then add a null value, and then make all the layers and 3D null, then parent images to null, then rotate 90º null in X. To distribute the layers, you can use a 3rd party like Trapcode echo space plug-in, or write an expression, or turn on the grid in AE and then drag images autour manually. Once you have all the images in your grid that you could start to animate each so they climb in there, add in the floating little before settling into position and then move them upward and out of the frame. This can be done manually, but it is very difficult to obtain for the natural look, or you can write an expression. If you base the expression at a random time or a marker or an index of the layer (number), then you can automate this process. If you do it by hand, you can get the first image to be put in place to look right, then copy keyframes and paste them into a new layer with the CTI at another time. Work area is going to be much larger than the camera view, so you'll need to work in multiple views and throw the things where you can see what you're doing. Once you get all the images fall into the grid (or at least all of the images, you'll need to kick, you can animate the camera so that sit in front of the grid of images at the right speed and the right corner of dolly.

The shot that precedes this one is just a movement of different camera using a different angle.

There are also snapshots of individual images falling in front of the camera. It is just a series of layers with keyframes or expressions making autumn position.

The big shots give us an idea on image size requirements.

That's about as close as the camera never happens to a picture. The image is about as wide as your computer so if you are working in a project of 1080 then the size of the model is 1920 pixels wide by 1080 pixels high. Your images would not need to be greater than 1920 X 1920. Each image has a white boarder. If the images were cut in place you can add the boarder in Photoshop or you can add an edge in AE for a mask on the image effect, or you can be a part of the square model that you use for each image. Fortunately there doesn't seem to be any curl in the images, which simplifies things. If you want to add an elbow to images that they fall into place, you could add the page turn transition, or use a string mesh to simulate a curve layer. Something more complex that it would be an exaggeration.

So there you have it. If I have started from scratch and has not had any 3rd plug-in presets or animation party for images fall or make a grid and I wanted to recreate the sample video I need about 2 or 3 days of eight hours. With scripts, pre-defined animations and expressions I could probably do about a day. Buy the model would probably reduce the workload to 2 or 3 hours.

  • transfer to iPhoto to iMovie drops photo title

    When I import photos from iPhoto to iMovie, I lose the titles of the photos. I'm doing something wrong, and is there a way to retain the title of the photo?

    Thank you

    Titles added in iPhoto are not on when the photo is exported out of iPhoto.  They are only used internally in iPhoto.  Try to name a photo in iPhoto and drag it to your desktop and you will see the added title iPhoto's wrong with her, but rather the original title has added in the finder or by unit photo remains.  In iMovie, you can select the photo and go to file/reveal in Finder and it will take you to the photo in the finder, showing its original title or title that you have added in the finder but not added in iPhoto.

    Thus, you do not have something wrong and I don't know anyway to retain the title of another picture than what I said above.

    There is a kind of mosaic of problems appear randomly while I'm browsing the internet. What happens to my mac and windows 7.

    Please refer to the photo of the attachment, you can see on the top right, there is a white block. It keep flashing randomly and blocking the image while I am browsing.

    I thought it was my graphics card problem at first, but I found that this also happens to my macbook.

    Please tell me how I can solve this problem? As it has become very annoying.

    Thank you very much!!!

    Hi, this may be caused by hardware acceleration or extension, so please try Firefox Mode safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • Click the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

  • What does the option "copy photos to the photo library?

    I explore this now app Photos (worst name ever) and I wanted to import photos in Photos. The problem for me is I want to let the pictures where they already are. I'm not interested in a database or the system that hides the pictures of me in the finder. I want to be able to right click and reveal in finder - "export image" is a terrible choice.

    So, I see an option to check in the preferences. It reads: "Copy pictures to the photo library" but has no explanation as to what that means or does. This is what it will move my photos if I select copy? (their disappearance from the original file)? It will resume photos - clutter up my drive? If we make a copy and I update the original in Photoshop - it will reflect this change in the Photo?

    So many questions and I can not find an answer to any place. Even the help files had nothing that I could find.

    It reads: "Copy pictures to the photo library" but has no explanation as to what that means or does. This is what it will move my photos if I select copy? (their disappearance from the original file)? It will resume photos - clutter up my drive? If we make a copy and I update the original in Photoshop - it will reflect this change in the Photo?

    Default is 'Copy photos to the photo library' enabled.  Then the pictures will do exactly that. Any Photo that you import pictures is copied in the photo library and managed by pictures. You can remove the original outside the library after you have verified that it imported properly.

    If you disable the option, pictures reference the file in its original location and does not copy it.

    This configuration is not recommended because you have to manage photos on your own. If you delete photos of Photos, you must delete the original outside yourself. You cannot use iCloud photo library with referenced files and if dot nee restore you from a backup library will need films to another drive, you will need to manually reconnect all originals. It is subject to errors.

    If we make a copy and I update the original in Photoshop - it will reflect this change in the Photo?

    It will not work. Two Photos will ignore changes to Photosho or lose the connection to the original file. To use an external editor in pictures use extensions to change Photos photo editing panel. Let the pics to send the original to the external editor.

    This help page explains how the import options work:
