Using Virtual Studio Sets in Adobe After Effects
posted by
As well as building your virtual set using PNG layers, you could also import the Photoshop version directly into After Effects. When you import the .psd as a composition into After Effects you will find that any camera angles appear as nested compositions, each with every layer in the correct order, and with further nested comps in place for all the relevant groups.
It can sometimes be quite an unwieldy solution, but is is entirely feasible to get everything into After Effects this way.
NOTE: Since this video was made we often supply multi-angle packs with each angle as a separate file. You can still combine them into a single document as described here : Making multi-angle sets.
We have also introduced a ‘regular’ Photoshop version which doesn’t contain any of the TriCaster Input UV gradients mentioned in the video below. TriCaster users can still get their own ‘special’ Photoshop versions which will load directly into Vizrt’s (formerly NewTek’s) Virtual Set Editor.

This tutorial shows you how to get started using the multi-angle version of Studio 4.
