In this After Effects tutorial, I show you how to animate a static image and turn it into a smooth moving animation using the Wave Warp effect. This method is perfect for beginners and works best with PNG images with a transparent background.
You’ll learn how to:
Import a PNG image into After Effects
Separate static & animated parts using masks
Use the Pen Tool correctly (straight edge trick)
Apply Wave Warp to animate the image
Remove visible seams for a clean final result
This technique is great for creating motion in scarves, clothes, water, hair, flags, and more.
