Excellent tutorial. If new to Aero, watch this. Thanks

[@danielly7388]

Thank you for making this, love your style!

[@thesavannahpictures96]

So cool. This was very helpful to me.

[@Dunaway_Smith]

I'm so glad to hear that!

[@trynewthings9682]

Amazing!

[@JesseRyanSax]

Great video! There aren't many videos tutorial for the desktop version of this software. Do you need the cell phone app to view or apply the finished augmented reality design? Or is there a way to export this from your computer and integrate it?

[@Dunaway_Smith]

Thanks! You do need an iOs mobile device to view it. Hope that helps!

[@breakingankles]

This was great! Do you have a tutorial on how to get the AR to trigger from a physical printed card? Like you print it out, and when you bring the phone near the printed card, it triggers the AR to pop up. There are other services that do this, but I want to do it with Aero. I can’t find any tutorials on it. Thank you.

Hmm.. I found another YT after I watched yours and it looks like you can anchor to image and create a link to share with someone. But the YT said the link was unstable and it did not always work. If you have tried the anchor to image and create link option, I’d like to know your experience with it.

[@Dunaway_Smith]

What you're looking for is an image anchor. (The image on the card would be the image anchor.) When you launch it, it looks for that image in the physical environment. There are a few different tutorials out there. I briefly touch on here: ua-cam.com/video/sayBv4Pufxs/v-deo.html (Around 1:14) This user guide section that explains it: helpx.adobe.com/aero/user-guide.html/aero/how-to/surface-and-image-anchors.ug.html

[@breakingankles]

@@Dunaway_Smith awesome! The YT link you shared is what I needed. Thanks!

[@IAmClaudius]

Greate video! QUick question. I'm trying to find the uses for Aero. What are some things you have used them for?

[@Dunaway_Smith]

Thanks! I've used it for art prints, (behind the scenes) extras for an album release, holidays cards, and meme generators just to name a few. Honestly, there are tons of possible use-cases.... it's just up to us to imagine them.

[@dahyejeong4343]

thanks for the great tutorial and it's really helpful. i'd like to ask a quick question..now i'm trying to make an ar sticker with camera captured footage by renderng them into
png sequences and zip file, same as you did with your artworks. i tried it but i don't know how to make more than one stickers keep moving simultaneously while the other one is still playing. when i choose one and try to move it with 'tab' -> 'play image', the other one i did before, stops. in your work, more than one objects are moving so im asking for the solution.
may i ask your help??

[@torvicztorvicz7892]

Hi, u did not mention the process of exporting it to the phone....

[@Dunaway_Smith]

You don't have to export it to the phone. Everything is on the cloud. As long as you're signed into Aero with the same Adobe ID on your desktop and mobile device, all your files will be on both.

[@DavidEdwinMeyers]

How did you attache the AR to the yard?

[@Dunaway_Smith]

That's place using a surface anchor. When the sw launches, it looks for flat surfaces. When it finds one, you tap to place the surface anchor. You can read more here. helpx.adobe.com/aero/how-to/surface-and-image-anchors.html

[@ICKMATION]
