Need some creative ideas on how to show a series of videos and images in AE:

Hello,

I am using After Effects cs5 and need some new ideas on how to show video clips and images in an interesting way.

Something like a video wall or sphere is cool but maybe there are some other ways to do it that people have done in the past.

Any new ideas would be appreciated or if you know of a good tutorial that would be helpful too.

Thanks,

Simon

You could try a few three-d camera moves likes flying by the image or having the screen spin into position by rotating the cam around it. Start a clip full screen and then have it zoom to a smaller position on a jumbotron-looking field, each clip flies into place until the Jumbotron is full. Just thinking out loud.

Recently I did a promo on a kind of sphere / globe thing with the camera zooming around it:

Hello,

Thanks for the ideas. I found this very cool template:

But I don't know how to recreate it. Any ideas on how to have the video start and stop like it does in the template.

Any tips would be appreciated or if there is a similar tutorial that would be perfect.

thanks,

Simon
