After Effects Randos

Want to create a 360 scene so someone can watch your video in VR or pan and scan?

Here’s How to take a 3D scene and then make it rectilinear.

Want to automatically scale and center an object using After Effects? 

Use track motion and create a clean track for Position, Scale, Rotation. Apply that data to a null. Create a 3D camera. Parent the Null to the camera. Then, make your target layer a 3D layer. Donezo! 

Effects Manager

Plugin borked? Launch the effects manager within After Effects and disable it. Select the Dropdown menu: Effect → Effects Manager

After Effects Sorting Order

This doesn’t follow ASCII or Mac OS sorting, which is frustrating and annoying. Pick a lane, nerds!

1. space
2. ! $ & % etc
3. Numbers 
4. _ @ etc
5. Letters
6. ~ etc
