Introduction

This is the result we will create: a sunrise mountain footage split into several layers, then the camera moves and advances so that the mountain, title, and sky move at different speeds. Let's get started. Welcome back to the complete Adobe After Effects series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. 2.5D Parallax effect makes flat images feel like they have depth. The way to do it is by splitting the image into several layers, arranging them on the Z-axis, and then moving the camera.

Step 1: Separating the mountain

Create a composition from the sunrise mountain footage. Duplicate the footage with Ctrl D and name it 'mountain'. Use the Pen Tool to create a mask that follows the mountain's back and then goes down to the bottom of the screen. Name the original footage below as 'sky'.

Step 2: Title in the center

Create a text title with a light orange color and position it between the mountain and the sky. The title now appears to be behind the mountain, but in front of the sky.

Step 3: Spreading along the Z-axis

Make all three layers 3D. Leave the mountain at Z0, place the sunrise at Z600, and the sky at Z2000. Layers that are further away appear smaller, so we will scale them up. The sky at 180% and the sunrise at 123%, so the composition looks the same as before.

Step 4: Camera

Add a 50mm camera. While the camera is still, the image looks exactly like the original footage. Also scale up the mountain to 110% so its edges are not visible when the camera moves.

Step 5: Camera moves and advances

At frame 0, create position and point of interest keyframes for the camera with X800. At frame 6, change both X values to 1120, and move the camera's Z position forward to minus 2300. Press F9 on all keyframes. Play the Preview.

Step 6: Preview

The mountain in front moves the fastest, the title slightly slower, and the sky almost stationary. This difference in speed is what makes our brain perceive depth.

Done!

Done. We have separated the mountain with a mask, inserted a title in between, spread the screen along the Z-axis with scale compensation, and moved the camera for parallax.
