@babayodamisa2655 4 года назад

Yes, I recently watched a tutorial explaining how to use AE for projection mapping but my question is, could you do a tutorial using a set of round cakes for mapping in after effects? Thanks once again

@LumaBox 4 года назад

@@babayodamisa2655 I could. But even though I created this tutorial on how to do projection mapping in After Effects, it was more of an exploration of one of its lesser known uses - After Effects is not really an application designed for projection mapping. If you are serious about mapping a cake, round or otherwise, I would recommend using proper video mapping software. I have tutorials on MadMapper and Resolume (more applications to be covered soon) and I'll be releasing tutorials on how to map a round cake with those. Watch this space!

I would especially love to know how to sync this with animation or music! Thank you! x infinite you just introduced me into a new world!

@LumaBox 3 года назад

That's awesome! I don't know of any third-party plugins that make this process easier. As for syncing to animation and music, you can assemble your 'show' (containing animations and music) inside your comp and it will output from your projector.

@creteen3261 3 года назад

Hi I just got into projection mapping and I find it fascinating, I've seen some of your tutorials which are very straight forward and easy to understand. I started with mapmap for pc and it was buggy and a pain to use. Madmapper's demo was fun and I've lerned some stuff, but in order to make custom animations you have to import from other softwares? After Effects sounds like a winner to me if you can do the mapping plus animation as well. At first sight seems a bit complicated though. Are there other softwares which do both mapping and animations which might be better than After Effects? Thank you for your tutorials and keep up the good work.

@LumaBox 3 года назад

This tutorial shows a fun way of using After Effects for mapping, but mapping is not something AE is geared towards - it's animating software. It's complicated because it's very powerful. You can't' have it both ways. MadMapper, on the other hand, is purely for mapping and does it very well. But yes, you would have to make your animations elsewhere. Maybe download a demo of Resolume and have a look at that? But to be honest, I think you should make your peace with the idea of having to make nice, custom animations in a different piece of software to the one you use for mapping.

Jesse James has done this, just wondered if you can do it in Adobe?

@LumaBox 4 года назад

Yes I think you could although After Effects is more of a 2d (2.5d...) package - you'd be better off working in 3d in something like Blender, Cinema 4D or Autodesk packages like 3DS Max or Maya etc.

Great Video. I am finally starting making video mapping... i was looking to your video from one year ago now ! And as i am usign orthographic method, i was comparing (non free) tools for the mapping... and finally this is the best solution to start with no much money.... Maybe Madmapper is easier to user but it is more expensive too (monthly expense start near 45 euros....)... With this method it is realy less expensiveto start (near 25 euro by month for after effect)... and after effect can do a lots of thing....

@damoncarpenter6641 2 года назад

Great tutorial! I've already completed this using your guide, and now have a clear photo for mapping. I then went into After Effects and created masks against that photo for the surfaces I want to project onto. Now, I'm a little stuck. Is there a simple process for dragging/dropping videos into After Effects so that they automatically take on the shape of the mask? For example, projecting at an angle across the garage door, I have an irregular shaped rectangle mask due to the perspective. If I add a video to play against that garage door, is there a simple way to drop that video into the masked area and have the irregular shape applied automatically? Thanks very much!

@LumaBox 2 года назад

You should like into the Power Pin effect. You can copy/paste it on other media. Or you could pre-comp parts of the show and then power pin the pre-comp. That is one of the disadvantages of the outline method - you have to design to the baked-in perspective - and one of the reasons I use the orthographic method (see my 1-5 tutorial series on house mapping)

@damoncarpenter6641 2 года назад

@@LumaBox Outstanding advice! I've already gone through your orthographic tutorials, and I hope to use that next year after I get a nicer projector. In the meantime, I wanted to just throw some fun videos on the garage door for this Christmas season. Your suggestion about the Power Pin effect was absolutely spot-on. I watched two or three tutorials online for how to use that tool, and I had a new mask setup with that effect applied in no time. Now, I can drag/drop a video into the comp, copy/paste the Power Pin effect onto that video, make sure it's aligned to the garage door mask, and Bob's your uncle. I can now mass-produce as many videos as I like with just a few keystrokes and mouse-clicks. And all thanks to you generous and helpful advice. KUDOS and MANY THANKS!

@peachygrenade 3 года назад

Would you say resolume is better for long running projections for a show or after effects? I’ve encountered issues with resolume in terms of syncing. Although BPM in Resolume is good for syncing, it completely messes up the speeds of my videos to audio. While Timeline syncs them up nicely, after a while (say, an hour) they end up out of sync despite being exactly the same in duration timecode.

@LumaBox 3 года назад

I wouldn't run a long show through AE. If the video is designed to match to the audio then you shouldn't enable additional syncing functions in Resolume (like BPM sync). Or have I misunderstood your issue? Maybe export your video with an audio channel (containing your music) rather than bringing them in as two separate pieces of media?

@LumaBox 10 месяцев назад

3000-4000+ lumens of brightness, at least full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution, a lens appropriate for the space you're working with (perhaps short throw lens). Some projector recommendations to start your own research: www.lumabox.com/house-mapping/kit/

@pieteregriega7642 2 года назад

Thank you for the tutorial it I think it has confirmed to me that I can use After Effects as projection mapping see below. I'm a musician and I'm creating a show based on projection mapping...so that the animations interact with the music and my performance. In order to do this, I intend to film myself (with green screen and music backing track) and use that as the timeline of the project...then create animations around the filmed performance. After they are created I intend to remove the initial performance and then project the animations using a projector (having masked my initial performance which I will recreate live along with some live music over the back track)...does this make sense to you?

@LumaBox 2 года назад

Yes it makes sense. So long as your live performance keeps to the timings of the green screen performance, I think it'll work 🙂

@LumaBox 9 месяцев назад

Hi. You're describing a much more complex scenario. If continuity between the 3 screens is important, I would animate the content inside a big comp that is the size of the 3 screens laid out together. Then chop that big comp up into the 3 screens and corner pin them separately onto the actual stage. Does that make sense?

@cokitos14 2 года назад

Hey thanks a lot for this video, It really helped me. I have a question tho. Im having trouble when I do my projections; the image of the video does not look 'opaque' or bright enough. I do the whole animation on After Effects and it looks good when rendered and in the timeline of AE, but when I project it it looks like its opacity its really low, idk if u could know what could be the reason of this? Like, in terms of the animation? (not projectors). Does my after effects project/file needs special preferences when doing the render so it looks opaque enough for the final projection?

@LumaBox 2 года назад

What makes you think it’s an issue with the animation as opposed to your projection being washed out/not bright enough? That sounds more likely to me

Hello! Thank you so much for this tutorial! I’m projection in a very small area and the projector has to be 1 meter away from the surface. When I videomap and reduce the video size moving the corner points it gets all pixelized 🥵 do you know how to avoid this from happening?

@LumaBox Год назад

I know you say the projector has to be 1 meter away but can you get it any closer? Is your projected area really tiny? Is your warping very extreme? Can you make the projector more square-on to the surface so less warping is required? Is your projector particularly low resolution?

@mariaventura5408 Год назад

@@LumaBox thank you sm for answering! So I can't make it any closer and my projection area is about 15cmx15cm. I changed the projector yesterday to a high resolution one and with zoom. The image got better but still as soon as I move a corner pin the video image gets all pixelated, like right away. The video I am using is an edited imported premiere sequence through adobe dynamic link. I am new to this but maybe it has something to do with continuously rasterise or something like that?

@LumaBox Год назад

@@mariaventura5408 Maybe do a test with a generic image/video file to eliminate the dynamic link being the problem. But that projection area is tiny so you may always see some jaggedness because a little bit of that is always inevitable when you do corner pinning and it will be much more obvious at that scale. Why can't you project from closer? Maybe you need to look into a pico projector?

@gavinborthwick3071 4 года назад

I'm thinking this would be possible with a decent media player. About £50 in UK. It's the exact thing I'm doing for a multi site light projection show for my town this Christmas. The only caveat I would say is that you would probably need to do the calibration on site, rather than at home. However you may have a better idea that you can do it at home if you can work out the size of the target surface and distance/angle of projector in another programme such as Blender. I'm no expert just beginning with Blender/After Effects.

Otherwise, it is hard to export your mapping except through some cowboy method like screen capture. I personally like MadMapper because it’s very user friendly, but I’m mainly doing one-off shows where it’s ok to run it off my laptop, not long-term installations where I’d probably want a media server

@FabiodeSaldanha 2 года назад

@@LumaBox Thank you for the reply. Yeah the cowbowy method is sketchy hahaha. So if i buy rent a Mad Mapper license for 1month. Finish my project and export it to the MiniMad within that 1 month, can it be running for years? or do I always need a active Mad mapper license to use the mini mad? Somehow I couldnt find a answer on the internet. Your channel is a great place for information! Thank you in advance

Would it be possible to import a projection outline from Autocad? And then how can I implement it into my footage. Basically I have a client who wants me to just send the video and he sent me the outline through Autocad as a dwg file, and I need to send him one mp4 he can just play at the site.

@LumaBox Месяц назад

Is he prepared to map it himself on site? If not, you would need to know from him the exact position of the projector and the POV outlines from him. It's potentially a bit more involved than him sending outlines and you sending him a video file but can be done

Hi .I'm loving the videos you've created, but I'm having a little trouble.I've got my MacBook and my projector powered on. Connected via cdmi leads and adapters.My MacBook locates my projector.I just can't see it on my preferences screen.Where your screen shows 3 available check boxes.Mine shows none.I have enable mercury transit checked, but it doesn't show an extended screen.It only shows a mirrored screen.Even after I've hit the extend screen option. All I see is what's on my Mac screen and that's mirrored on my projector.What am I doing wrong? Any ideas Regards Boz1070

@LumaBox 3 года назад

I don't know, is the answer right now. You're not the first person who has commented that they don't see their projector in the display list. Maybe I'll get in touch with adobe support and dig into the issue a bit.

Obvious question but, the projector is connected to the ocmputer, right? doesnt it get laggy?

@LumaBox 3 года назад

Yes it's connected. It didn't lag for me, for something basic like this. But it isn't a solution for running a show for real. You could render out your comp and run it from another media server or external media player.

@Grandkidsmovies Год назад

Respected Miss! Kindly dont mind... Let me guide properly. I have watched your this video so many times and followed your instructions with regards to 'Video Pteview" in "Edit-Preferences" builtin After Effects 2022. I am using Window-10 in my Desktop/pc i5 core. On click "video preview" a small window opens with 3 options. I select projector/second display but small window in the bottom does not appear/open showing the object(s) for mapping. Hope you will advise me and resolve my issue please.

@LumaBox Год назад

The small preview window is something I've overlayed in the video edit to help the audience understand what I'm seeing in front of me. It's not something you should expect to see on your screen. Sorry if that has caused you confusion.

@@LumaBox How can I set projection mapping on object due to the issue I explained your goodself?
