Introduction

This is the result we will create, a cinematic documentary opener, with a camera gliding slowly through layers of landscape in a 3D space toward the title 'Jejak Bumi' with a wide screen frame. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe After Effects series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. The final project combines 3D, camera, depth of field, text, and grading into a documentary opener. The key is slow and calm movement, as well as elegant typography.

Step 1: 3D Landscape Layer

Create an open-air composition of 8 seconds. Import 3 footage: the farthest canyon clouds in Z2000 with a large scale, a reflection lake in the middle, and a sunset forest in front with multiply mode and 50% opacity to blend the silhouettes together. All of them are made 3D.

Step 2: Camera and Depth of Field

Add a 35mm camera with active depth of field. Set the focus distance to 950, roughly the distance to the title at the end of the camera movement, and aperture 40, so the foreground and background are slightly blurred.

Step 3: Slow Dolly

Animate the camera position moving forward from Z-2500 to minus 1600 over 7 seconds, with ease-in. Slow movement gives a sense of grandeur, not urgency. Type 'Jejak Bumi' with a white serif font and wide tracking.

Step 4: 3D Title

Make it 3D at Z-800, closest to the camera. Animate the opacity to enter starting at 2 seconds and scale from 100 to 110%, so the title appears and grows very slowly as the camera approaches.

Step 5: Lighting and Grading

Add a light solid with a radial gradient ramp orange in screen mode and 30% opacity in the top right corner, like sunlight. Then add an adjustment layer grading with Lumetri orange, black letterbox on top and bottom, and add grain.

Step 6: Preview and Render

Play the preview. The camera glides through the layers toward the title that grows slowly, with cinematic colors and framing. Render with render cue for the final result.

Done!

Done. We have composed the 3D landscape layers, used a camera with depth of field, created slow motion, a 3D title that grows slowly, light, grading, letterbox, and grain. In the next project, we will create a complete E6FX composite. Need a promotional video, logo animation, motion graphics for social media, or visual effects for short films?
