In this tutorial, you'll learn how to create a stunning 2.5D (fake 3D) parallax effect using Adobe After Effects. Follow along as we guide you through the process step-by-step.

First, we'll show you how to use Photoshop to remove objects from a background and isolate your subject within a single photo. Once the photo is prepared, we'll import it into After Effects to create captivating 3D movement using 2D images.

While many refer to this technique as 3D parallax, it's actually 2.5D because we're working with 2D images in a 3D space. This effect is perfect for adding movement and bringing static photos to life when you don't have access to a true 3D photo.

Watch our comprehensive step-by-step video guide and master the 2.5D parallax effect in After Effects within minutes. Transform your photos and enhance your projects with this easy-to-follow tutorial.
