Make Parallax Animations in After Effects with Pearelax

Pearelax is an After Effects script that enables creators to move 3D layers forward and backward in z space while maintaining their optical size and position. This capability allows designers to transform flat 2D artwork into engaging 3D scenes.

The tool offers several workflow advantages:

• Flexible positioning: Move layers by a specific pixel amount or as a percentage of their current scale
• Batch operations: Automatically stagger movements across multiple layers to set up entire scenes efficiently
• Expression controls: Add effect sliders with expressions for more precise adjustments
• Project cleanup: Bake expressions once positioning is finalized to streamline your project
