After Effects: Animate Multi-Plane Background (Side-scrolling):
*Sorry Sometimes the Playback of After Effects is dropping frames. It must be an issue with the screen capturing software.*
0:00- Intro and Getting Set Up
4:30- Importing your walk-cycle animations into AE
10:30- Import your Multi-Plane Digital Illustration into AE
13:00- Use Shapes as placeholders to animate the ground. Shape Layers work as excellent placeholders. Animate exactly one second.
22:30- Create an adjustment layer and use the Posterize Time effect. This will make animating the Shape Layers easier.
25:00-Continue animating the Shape Layer
28:30- Extend the Shape Layer animation to last longer than one second (requires a little simple math)
32:30- Animate the Multi-Planes in AE
