Card-opening effect

Postby Matthew Max » Wed Feb 22, 2012 4:33 pm

Does Pro have a Card-opening effect--like if you open a greeting card?

I think After Effects is the way to go

But you can do the same Page Turn as in our tutorial that Peru mentions above using Premiere Pro.
Don't know if there is a real easy way, what version do you have Matthew? Do you have After Effects?

I have the regular CS5.5, no After Effects.
Remember, I'm talking card opening.
Gracias.

If you are making this in Pro, first create the card in PS with the anchor point in the center. Create a new layer with transparency and cut up your card. The hinge needs to be at the center of the transparent file. In Pro when you use the swivel or transform the effects look to the center or anchor point of the psd.

In AE you can change the anchor point, but after doing this many times I find that it is easier to have the file like you do in Pro and you don't have that extra step in AE.

Card opening or Book opening, isn't it the same thing?

There are a number of page turn/curl transitions that may be what you are looking for...

No card turning effect. You'll need to set up a page turn manually. It's really not that difficult. And, unless you want to show the bottom of the card, for a simple folded card you'll only have three pages to deal with -- the card face, the back side of the card face, and the facing page.

How do you want this to look? Cards can be portrait orientation and open left to right or landscape and open bottom to top. Which were you wanting to use? Are the pages static images? Or, do you want to embed video on the page?

Both portrait and landscape. And both static and video. But not video on the "cover". Thank you.

This is a beautiful effect. If it works the same vertically, then it seems to me that this is my answer. Thank you.
