Tilt Shift (Miniature Effect) Tutorial in After Effects

[nAcolz]

Very good tutorial! I tried this in my way before watching any tutorials, theres the result on my channel. I used Magic Bullet Looks plugin and in it the Tilt Shift effect ;)

wouldn't making more then one adjustment layer do the same effect (blur gradient )

@southwestking08 Yup. There's a million ways to do the same thing with AE, but using the same blur effect (in this case the camera blur) adds just a hint more authenticity, and gives you more control over the effect, mostly with the feathering on the masks. I think for this project and others I worked on, this provided the best results.

Great Stuff Gib. Btw that "nose" symbol on a mac is the alt button.

@xavierfrazier1 Thanks! It may be the "alt" key, but "nose symbol" is far more entertaining. nose + clover + g = interpret footage.
