Parallax

The main purpose of this group of tools is to allow you make parallax animation as easier, as possible.

  • Parallax 2D will make fake parallax effect with 2D layers, if you don't want to go to 3D.

  • Parallax 3D makes true 3D distribution between Near and Far Distances, which you can type manually.

  • Extruder main feature is that you can make extrude from placeholders.

  • Stack is a huge option, which allows you to make linear stacks in 2D or 3D space.

Interaction

Interactions is very helpful to make interdependent animations.

  • Dependence is a wonderful tool which allows you to put any animation in dependence of any other property.

  • Interactor put your animation in dependence of positions between last selected layer and others.

  • Animarker allows you to put your animation in dependence of markers.

  • Offset animates all parameters on the same value, but with time delay.

  • Revolver take rotation of the objects and links to the main object

Placeholder

Allows you to optimize, probably, your every day’s routine.

  • Placeholder allows you to use shape layers or picture layers as placeholders to any stack of footages.

  • Piner put your image in dependence of selected path vertices

  • Switcher puts all selected layers to precompose, crop precompose to biggest layer in it and turns on Time Remap.
