Camera Focus Left Right After Effects Transition

Adobe After Effects Camera Focus (Left to Right) Transition template

This is a Free preset to apply specific effects to layers or elements within a project. it’s an animation preset designed to simulate a camera focus shift moving from left to right. The After Effects preset transition emulates the effect of a camera lens adjusting its focus across a horizontal plane, moving from left to right. This could be useful in scenes where you want to emphasize certain elements sequentially or create a dynamic depth-of-field effect.

The effect may adjust the blur or sharpness across different points of the layer, making it appear as though the camera is focusing on one side of the frame before shifting focus to the other. It could also involve slight zoom or pan effects that mimic a professional camera focus pull.

This type of effect is useful for:

• Highlighting details in a scene gradually from left to right.
• Creating a depth-of-field look where some areas appear in and out of focus, adding a sense of dimension.
• Enhancing text, titles, or graphics by drawing the viewer’s attention to each side in sequence.
