I've seen many AE tutorials where people explain the process but do not explain the function. You do both; a sign of a great teacher. Excellent tutorial.
Changing my Renderer (upper right corner) from CINEMA 4D to Classic 3D solved my issue with Focus Distance/Aperture not working. It's Classic 3D in the video. Hope this helps some people. Great videos on this channel, BTW, Subscribed!
All my tutorials are on UA-cam under the Playlists. Also at the end of each video you can see my credentials. Let me know if you have any other questions!.
Wow thank you so much! this was what i was searching for! i'm really greatefull for your tutorial, explanation adn step by step, for real it's amazing the way you teach! i will see more of your videos! thank you so Much Elias! you help me to improve my 2d animations, i was searching how to use the camera 3d since is something i never used before!
@@EliasSarantopoulos I have the focus distance the same as what I want to focus in on... it doesn't focus on what I want Edit: I have linked the focal distance to a layer and that worked
@@kirkris7563 Andrew look inside the combination of Focus Distance and Aperture, usually those two make the out of focus effect. Also don't forget to turn ON the depth of field. Hope this helps. 😀 👋
Please look at the other After Effects up on my channel, I cover different ideas and useful tips but yes, more will come. Thank you again and let me know if you have any questions. 😀
For some reason when I increase the aperture and set the focal distance and basically do everything you described in this tutorial, the background just doesn't blur.
At the end of the video tutorial you will see my email, send me there with your proper name so I know its you. Also make sure its a zipped file and all the assets are in it. Let me know.
Samme, I received your file. Can you please tell me exactly what you are trying to do? I see that you have a camera that shakes but no DOF keyframes, correct?
when i turn my aperture up (even as high as 15,000) i dont see any depth of field changes, and i made sure to have my layers in different Z planes.. any advice?
i have the same problem of one who comments below .. that the depth is on and the focus doesn't change even when increase the aperture .. can u help me how to fix this problem ?
abdullah alazzawi Yes of course. Send me a private email with a zipped file containung the appropriate files. My email is at the end of each video. Thank you.
Elias Sarantopoulos thank you , really I appreciate your kindly help , i got the problem , and fix it .. i found my pc had a software problem .. thank you again .. best regards
Hello, when I try to utilize the camera tool to zoom in, the numbers don't change on the two key frames selected and there is no change in movement. Could you please help?
Just follow the tutorial and you will be fine! Remember, planning ahead will take you a long way and you will see better results. For example, I create everything inside Photoshop or Illustrator and all comes perfect inside After Effects. Thank you! 😀

Just make sure the Depth of Field is enabled on the Camera settings. Try that and see Heba! Thank you. 😀

For some reason when I increase the aperture and set the focal distance and basically do everything you described in this tutorial, the background just doesn't blur.
Sometimes a locked layer can do that. You can zip all the folders with all your assets and I can take a look if you wish. Let me know. Thank you.
Elias Sarantopoulos Sounds good, where can I send it to you?
At the end of the video tutorial you will see my email, send me there with your proper name so I know its you. Also make sure its a zipped file and all the assets are in it. Let me know.

@@EliasSarantopoulos can you tell how do you fixed? I have the same problem hier :(
zo'r menga yoqdi :)
Thank you! 🙏
Why doesn't work for me? I did everything right my Depth of field it is ON :(
Having the DOF ON is just one paremeter, how about the Camera Focus Distance, did you set that up on the 3D axis, how about the Blur values? 😀👋
thinkyou sir and I want to more video
Look under the After Effects playlist, many others there to learn and practice with. Thank you P S. 🙏
great
Thank you, Coni! 😀
Hi! can´t find the option "point of interest" there's though an "anchor point option", is that the same?
The Point of Interest refers to the camera, some don't bother to use it manually but I do to get better control of the motion. Hope this helps 😃
Hello, when I try to utilize the camera tool to zoom in, the numbers don't change on the two key frames selected and there is no change in movement. Could you please help?
Just make sure all layers are 3D layers instead of 2D. Try that and see. Thank you! 😃
@@EliasSarantopoulos It didnt work :(
Are you using the Camera tool? If not, scrub the values of the 3D camera inside your timeline and see. 😀
my link for download material is not working, is it just me?
Iva, I just tested the link on my end and all is well. Have a look again I guess. Thank you. 😀
How do you separate layers in ps then bring them to ae???
rona soka Yes I do, always since it is all Adobe programs it recognizes all layers. Thank you! 😀
@@EliasSarantopoulos im new at ae and i feel its so diffcult
Just follow the tutorial and you will be fine! Remember, planning ahead will take you a long way and you will see better results. For example, I create everything inside Photoshop or Illustrator and all comes perfect inside After Effects. Thank you! 😀

why my dof is not working?

@@EliasSarantopoulos yes bro i know most of the things to do when using camera , like making the layers 3d , for the dof enable the dof and all the things i think so there is a problem in my software
