Okay, so I'm going to make a summary of what we've done. We've just imported our images and created some folders for it or them and we imported some videos to we have this folder. I have an extra folder here, don't worry about it. The next thing that I did was to create the compositions for each portrait. And sorry, we have something like this right now. We have two layers, the photograph and the video.

And the video has a track mat, our Luma matte. So right now we're going to do is I just created a final composition of the same size and frame rate I'm going to import all the composition, the portrait compositions. And I also want to add this video background of some stars to create some surreal feeling. So this is my first competition. I just got it here by extending and contracting this delay from these arrows. I'm going to import the other compositions and we're what I'm going to do is I'm going to start placing them in some sort of pyramid.

So the first one will show during this 50 frames and then I want another 50 frames to show under more than 5068, six another 6060 something frames before I cut it so it's really long. I'm going to cut it here. If you you don't want your compositions to be that long. You can just cut them here by using the timeline Ctrl M. The next one I want to play see it a little bit above. So it doesn't make a lot of sense right now. It's not the effect that we want.

But you'll see that with the magic of the smoke effect. Everything will blend so Want to make sure I have the same, approximately the same length on this layer before I cut it. So if you haven't used After Effects ever in your life, probably you have a lot of questions. But the thing is, this control helps you kind of assume you can change the scale of the timeline, but in this case, the time ruler is set to frames. So you can see one frame here, but it expanded sorry, it expanded you can see 10,000 frames, so it's really helpful to achieve a very precise effect. What I'm going to do right now is I'm going to bring my smoke video I'm going to place it over every one of my layers.

Same finish, you can use a different one, I want to place it within the same spot that I choose for the layers. So I'm going to cut it's really helpful if you're going to cut to place the I don't know the name of this D head. I don't remember its name in English. This little half here, and then we can drag the layer that you want to cut and it will be a little bit more precise. I think it can be really accepted. So I want to cut everything and then if you have Pay attention to the process, you'll see that in this case, we're going to use the video as a mat in opposite of the first part of the, the class where we use the video.

The object to be masked within the mat, that was the jeep. jpg file. So we're going to do this for every one of them and immediately just see something amazing happens. It's really common effect, but I think, truly beautiful. We can see here that we have a gap. So the problem here is the position of this portrait, so I'm going to press P And then oh now is is a small video that it's really small, but it doesn't matter.

I can scale it something that it's not recommendable, Molly, but he makes a little bit of sense because this is working as a map. So you're not seeing actually those pixels. That's not a good idea to make it too big. If you don't want the overlapping to be that evident, you can just select by pressing Shift and click and drag a little bit more. To make it more subtle. There's probably a more precise way of doing these.

I want to focus on the effect. So if you have some suggestions of other ways of doing doing it. I will appreciate him
