Understanding Wave Wraps — After Effects (Part 1)⁣

Wave Wrap gives very dynamic movement to the images, vectors, and masks⁣⁣. There are multiple wave wraps, a total of 9 beautiful effects you can try today.⁣

You can simply apply them, they do not need any keyframes, it can be just a movement to your images suggesting a beautiful movement rather than static images.⁣⁣

What is a wave wrap?

The Wave Warp effect produces the appearance of a wave traveling across an image. You can produce various wave shapes, including square, circular, and sine waves. The Wave Warp effect is automatically animated at a constant speed across the time range (without keyframes or expressions).

Remember to vary speeds, we have to set keyframes or expressions.⁣⁣

These are the following waves⁣⁣:

1️⃣ Sine waves⁣⁣:

2️⃣ Square Wave⁣⁣:

3️⃣ Triangle Wave⁣⁣:

4️⃣ Sawtooth Wave⁣⁣:

5️⃣ Circle Wave⁣:

P̶̶̶̶a̶̶̶̶r̶̶̶̶t̶̶̶̶ 2̶̶̶̶ ⁣⁣(coming soon)

6️⃣ UnCircle Wave⁣⁣

7️⃣ Semi Circle Wave⁣⁣

8️⃣ Noise Wave⁣⁣

9️⃣ Smooth Noise Wave⁣

I have used one image, and kept the best settings, to showcase the difference in the waves⁣
