You can use the video pack for many different title sequences, action scenes, and unique commercial projects. Once you’ve done this, Jordy recommends adding a Gaussian Blur to make the clip look a little more dreamy and less sharp. Create a keyframe on the clip when the ink drop transition begins, then move later in the timeline and increase the Displacement to meet your needs. Applying EffectsĪt some point, you’ll need to apply a transition-type effect to the clip, so search through video Effects > Distort > Turbulent Displace, then drag the effect onto the video clip.

For even more control of the Speed, hit Graph Editor (as seen above), and you’ll see a curve you can play with for the speed at which your effect will move. So yo might want to change the speed of your clip accordingly so the two are not different speeds that look jarring. Once you’ve done this, you can move the second keyframe closer or further away from the first one and control the speed at which the ink drop reveals. You’ll see a Keyframe at the beginning of your clip, then create a new keyframe where the ink drop is fully revealed. Right-click the ink drop layer, and hit Time > Enable Time Remapping. If you’re working with slow motion footage or wish to play with the speed of your clips, fortunately, you can control the speed and intensity of the ink drops right from your After Effects timeline. This method is for blending her in with the dark ink, so if you’d like to place your image in white ink, simply choose the Luma Matte option, not the Inverted Luma Matte. This will disable the ink drop layer while using it as a matte for our clip. Then use the Track Matte and select Luma Inverted Matte for the clip. Working with Ink Dropsįirst things first: drag the Ink Drop layer on top of your clip on the timeline. So, here’s how to apply the pack of transitionary effects to your clips using After Effects. Whether it’s for athletes, artists, or branding, at some point (if you’re working in the corporate world) you’ll need to create some type of demo reel that shows how this brand stands out.

As you can see in the example above, another practical-yet-wildly-creative way to apply the Sumi video pack to your workload involves highlight reels and demo videos.
