Flip the cards in space through Card Wipe Effects by Ashish Rastogi, India

Today we will create a following effect with the help of Card Wipe Effect in After Effects. To achieve this effect you require two pictures. One for the front and second you want to show when flip. If you are feeling lazy then you can download the source files.



Create New Composition (Composition > New Composition) and set the size 450 x 450 pixels, if you are using the attached source files. Otherwise set composition according to your file height x width. Import both the jpeg files (File > Import > File) and drag in the timeline.





Hide the bottom layer and select the top layer. Apply the Card Wipe effect on top layer from the Effect menu (Effect > Transition > Card Wipe) . Apply the following settings in the image. Don't forget to set the key frame "Transition completion" key frame on 0.5sec at 0% and on 3sec at 100% and same as Rotation Jitter and Position Jitter settings.





Rows & Columns need to set according to the no. of rows and columns in the image, Try to increase to 10 or more and see some more amazing effect. Timing Randomness give randomness to the flipping of cards and give little realistic look.

Possibilities from this effect in After effects is endless, just play with the settings and achieve wonderful effects. Suggestion and comments are always welcome on my email address: ashras99@rediffmail.com
