Fun Door Transition in After Effects – easy beginner tutorial for VFX lovers
Adobe After Effects transition tutorial / how to transition seamlessly from one shot to another.
In this tutorial by flomotion, you will learn how to seamlessly create a transition form shot a to shot b.
In my example I use a door to create this illusion.
As a bonus I am going to show you two methods of rendering out your footage with an alpha channel. Once as a movie file, as a ProRes 444 and also as a PNG sequence
You will learn various techniques for masking, rotoing / rotoscoping/ rotoscope and also how to use the roto brush 2.0 to make this vfx shot look realistic!
Learn how to use the roto brush tool as well as the refine edges tool.
I am also going to show you how to film the two shots and what to take care of!
Also you will learn many different tips and tricks for After Effects Compositing workflows. I will show you the lumetri color effect and how to use it to change the color temperature to go from inside (warm) to outside (cold).
A long the way you will also learn about creating fake shadows with the drop shadow effect and how to match one shot to an other with levels, hue and saturation as well as a glow effect.
And by the way, we will use no green screen for that!!

Please make a vfx tutorial of how to fall from a tree 🌴 on a one shot
the first thing i was impressed is that you answer all comments ! Nice work !!!
You are life saver for new user of ae like me
I like your way of describe a small details look like you teach by heart
God bless you
Great tutorial. Have you any tips on rotoing longer hair in wind?
Hi, Thank you for the tutorials. You explain things very clearly.
I have a small question. I got a static shot about 1 minute long, I add something on the background, but need to roto a group of people and cars. What would be your advice on this scenario?
I've tried to roto those front objects, but then the AE became very slowly, and then stoped working. PS. I'm new to AE. Thanks a lot.
Loved it but I can’t find for some reasons the tiger tutorial
Doing it in AE CS version requires exporting the movie sequence to a PNG or a series of PNG depending on what you want to do. Importing that photo into Photoshop.
Then use the Magnetic Lasso, follow that up with the Bezier Lasso. The Magic Eraser with tolerance adjustment is another good way to delete a background. I would have to do that for each layer if I want to save the layers for paralax.
I would then save the files with all layers as a PSD. Import the PSD with all layers to AE to continue the VFX.
The old way takes time and is a lot of work but it beats digging ditches. The Roto version 2 is faster.
awesome content
great thank you
Very nice thanks for the tutorial however when we roto out at the subject. How we select which one subject or background need to remove. Thank you
I am writing it again because I have seen more than 100 after effects channel but I never saw this type of tutorial. the way you taught and explain each and every tool patiently. I'm very thankful to youtube for suggesting your channel.
As you have told us at 5.11 to watch your 5min masking video I searched it but not able to find can you pin up the video link. And Thanks, I found a channel for which I was searching badly.
nice tutorial..made learning easy
I'm watching you from Cameroon. Bro you are the best
Good day sir, I love your toturial. Am using blender, after effects and premier pro. I want to become a real VFX artist. How to master compositing my real character and CGI object or subject. How can I get good toturial to build me up.
nice video
you are amazing bro …wooowww
Hey..I love your videos , specially the extra stuff about basics which people skip since they're used to it but viewers dont know ..Can you make some long tutorials about softwares and plugins and various sections – like 1 video about MochaPro with everything in it (then make a playlist and add your related videos to it)…Element3d..Various Things within AE like "Add" option below shapes which has offset,trimpaths,etc …OR Sound design – this would make for easy series of videos plus probable sponsorships for you hopefully …ALSO Do you have twitter/discord to contact you easier ?
How soon ai will replace roto?
amazing, u ar very talented
😘super
Amazing tutorial….
Will you make dedicated tutorial on track mattes? I'm really get confused how to use track mattes…
Your tutorial in this video covered a lot of aspects for a beginner like myself to improve in the workflow in general. Keep up the good work!
Sir i need to request a tutorial how can I di that
Amazing tutorial!!!! Thank you
Cool tutorial Flo! To mention that rotoscoping hair is an area that AI and machine learning have not been very successful at yet. Many of the companies that specialize in roto for Hollywood films use the application Silhouette and at times use tracked open splines to have precise control over individual hairs. It's a lot of work!
Awesome amount of detail, thanks
Nice tutorial!!! When u have a badhairday it looks better then my badhairday. Maybe cuz I don't even have any hair anymore. Thank u for the video.
When u create the tutorials do u use a storyboard? Do you consciously adjust the camara movement in order to get an optimal transition?
Thanks, Bro! Well done as always…
pas mal…bien joué 😉
