Ever finish up your After Effects animation and feel like something is missing? Perhaps the animation is solid, but it just needs that final dab of secret sauce.
Here, we have a super quick and super easy way to create a distinct vibe to your edits, we’re going to dive into how below.
In recent years, this stop-motion style has become popular amongst YouTubers and content creators alike. These quick steps will take you through how to achieve it without using a single plugin!
1. Inside your composition, add a new adjustment layer at the top of your layer stack and rename it to ‘Posterize Time’ - we are all about tidiness and organisation here at Glass Puppet...
2. Search for the effect ‘Posterize Time’ and drop it onto this new adjustment layer.
3. This effect allows us to create a new frame rate for the layer without affecting the composition’s frame-rate.
Adjust the figure here to the target frame rate.
4. Experiment with different frame rates to achieve the desired result for your animations. The lower the value, the choppier the motion.
If you create anything cool with the posterize time effect, we’d love to see it. Be sure to tag us on your socials!
