As many of us often do, we get into the situation where we want to use still pictures in a moving video. Be it for a documentary, an image film, a promotional clip for a business event or whatever inspiring thing you are doing. The most basic way of achieving this is to simply zoom into the photo or pan over it. But maybe having a slideshow or “Powerpoint presentation” effect is not enough for you. You want a more professional approach to give your photos more “life” and you begin to draw masks and animate single parts of the photo to give the illusion of some camera movement. This can be very time consuming. So I started to build a tool which helps me do this and cuts the time doing so tremendously. I have been using and improving it for over three years now and it has already saved me so much time. It is powerful and adjustable enough to have been useful for advertising agencies and big marketing campaigns and accessible enough to be manageable by the amateur photographer, who wants to animate the christmas pictures of his family.

The Photo Animator will take your 2D Photo and turn it into a 3D photo animation.
- Define a mask (often a simple & quick rough mask will work perfectly)
- 8 layers will be generated from this mask
- Set the layer size
- You can pull the layers in two different ways at the same time: 1) The weighting is more defined at the outside layers 2) The weighting is more defined on the inside layers. Photo Animator Free After Effects Template
- Push camera or object in & out
- Pull focus (between innermost and outermost layer)
- Activate “Visual Help Mode” to make adjustments easily visible
- Activate “Magic Layer Connection” to connect layers so there is a minimum of artifacts (only with extreme movements artifacts will become visible)
- A variety of resolution presets for all purposes. FullHD, 4K/UHD and all standard formats for Instagram
- Single animation length: up to 20 seconds
