Hey, welcome back to my new video. This is

So let's start.
First, let's import the footage we need into
After Effects. You can download the full project
of the exact animation you have seen in the
example, from the link in the description.
Create a new composition and name it: slideshow.
For this example I'm using a FULL HD 1080
pixels preset, with 30 frames per second,
and 9 seconds long.
Bring the footage into your new composition.
Move to 3 seconds.
Select only the top 2 layers, and click the
left bracket button to make them start from
here.
Move to 6 seconds, select only the first layer,
and make it start from here.
Create a new adjustment layer.
And rename it: optical transition.
Go to effects and presets panel, and search
for: optics compensation.
Apply it to your adjustment layer.
Move to the beginning of your composition,
and create a keyframe on the field of view.
Move to 15 frames, and change its value to
150.
Check the reverse lens distortion box.
Select the optical transition layer.
Then click alt and asterisk key on your numpad.
Write here cut, and click ok.
We've created a marker to define the cut point
of the transition.
Move to 1 second, and change the field of
view value back to 0.
Also, click on edit, split layer.
And delete the newly created layer.
Now, you only have to place the optical transition
layer, with the cut marker right where your
footage is changing.
Duplicate the transition layer as many times
as you need, and drag it like this, where
the transition should be.
Let's check our final animation.
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial on how to
create an optical transition in After Effects.
