🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
00:19 📷 To create a 3D shallow depth of field effect in After Effects, start by zooming in your clip so it appears larger than your composition.
01:02 📸 Add a camera to your composition by right-clicking and selecting "new camera." Choose a focal length to achieve the desired effect.
01:44 🌐 Use the top-down perspective view to see the field of view of your camera and understand how it affects your composition.
02:25 📐 Create a realistic depth of field by enabling it in the camera options. Adjust the aperture and focus distance to control the depth of field.
03:48 🎥 Keyframe motion to move around your frame and change the area of focus naturally, just like a real camera.
04:15 🖼️ Enhance the overall look by adding a white solid layer at the bottom to remove the black background in your composition.
