Project After Effects → Split Layers - After Effects Template

Unlike other similar effects found online, this effect is actually in 3D, not simulated, so you can move your camera around the composition in 3D space.

What’s included in this Free After Effects Template?

This freebie includes a free project file (compatible with CS5.5 and above) and free documentation. To use the template, simply drop your footage in the “Drop Footage Here” composition. Then navigate to the “Final Output” Composition. All of your effects can be found by simply selecting the “Controls” layer.

Each effect can be keyframed for further customization. If you want to make your animations even more smooth, we highly recommend using this template in conjunction with the graph editor in After Effects.
