Creating a tunnel through the frame effect
It's time to put our knowledge of particle systems to use and create a full system from scratch.
Getting ready
Launch Motion and choose a project with
Duration set to 10
seconds, Preset set to 720p
, and Frame Rate set to 30
. Click Open. Go to the Library and, under Content, select Big Frame. Make sure you are on the first frame of the project and click Import. We're going to take this frame and place it into a particle system with Line as our chosen shape. We're going to make that line 3D and position it in 3D space. We'll then add a camera to our project and move across that line while frames are being born across it.
How to do it
Select the Big Frame layer and press E to turn it into a particle system. Select the Emitter and press F4 to go to the Emitter tab.
Change the Shape value of the Emitter to Line and click the 3D checkbox. Reveal the start and end points. Change both X positions to 0. Change the Z start point to -10000 and the Z end point...
