How to Animate Water in a Photo or Image using After Effects
0Are you looking for a way to bring life to a static photo or image by adding a realistic water animation? Look no further than After Effects! In this tutorial, we'll show you how to animate water in a photo or image using After Effects.
We'll start by importing the image into After Effects, and then we'll create a new solid layer and apply the Wave Warp effect to it. This effect will create the illusion of water movement. Then we'll animate the wave by keyframing the settings of the Wave Warp effect.
Next, we'll use the Liquify effect to create the distortion effect that is typically seen when objects are viewed through water. We'll use this effect to make the image look as if it is submerged in water.
Finally, we'll add some finishing touches to the animation, including color correction and adjustment layers to make the water look more realistic.
By the end of this tutorial, you'll have learned how to create a realistic water animation in After Effects that can be applied to any photo or image. So grab your photo and let's dive in!
