I built an animation in Aftereffects for a trade show where a vehicle drives and I am making it look like it goes 360 degrees around 4 LED panels. My vender wants to break the animation into 4 videos that will start simultaneously and should look like 1 video.
Side A @ 4032x1176
Side B @ 2016x1176
Side C @ 4032x1176
Side D @ 2016x1176
The goal is to have the vehicle start on side A and drive to side B/C/D and make it look like it’s going around the panels. I finished the animation and did it 2 ways and I am trying the figure out what’s the best way or if I should have approached this differently.
Way 1: I added up the length of the panels and I made a composition in AE at 12096x1176. The vehicle is animated and everything seem to work fine. But I need to export this animation in sections.
Is there any way I can take the 12096x1176 sequence and export out the dimensions for all 4 sides I listed above with out making more sequences?
Way 2: I took my animation elements of my 12096x1176 composition and made 4 comps for each side. Two
@4032x1176 and two @ 2016x1176 and basically retimed the animation to make it look like the vehicle drives off of side A into side B than drives onto C/D. I made the exports and it seems to have worked but I am not sure if this was the best approach or if there is a better way.
Any advice or thoughts would be great.
Thanks,
Nick
