Advanced Mockup Tutorial for Pro Designers | After Effects & ena supply

If you're a designer looking to elevate your portfolio and attract more clients, learning how to create stunning 3D mockups can be the key to standing out on social media. In this tutorial, you'll discover how to use templates from ena.supply and master the process step by step in Adobe After Effects. Here's a detailed guide on how to achieve professional results:

Step 1: Record Your Screen

Choose Your Website

Find the website you want to mock up.
Right-click on the website and select "Inspect."

Set the Dimensions

Clear some space in the inspect panel.
Set the screen's dimensions to 1440 by 900 to fit perfectly into the mockup template.

Record the Screen

Use Command + Shift + 5 on Mac for screen recording.
Match the recording area's corners to the set dimensions and start recording.
Scroll through the site to capture the needed footage.

Step 2: Import Screen Recordings into After Effects

Setup After Effects

Open After Effects and import the 3D collection template you purchased from ena.supply.
Navigate to the "comps" folder to find different screens available for customization.

Place Screen Recordings

Drag your screen recordings into the appropriate screens (e.g., screen one, screen two).
Resize the recordings to fit the template perfectly.

Step 3: Customize the Template

Adjust Background Colors

Choose the correct composition (e.g., 1920 or 1350 aspect ratios).
Select the background layer and change the color using "Solid Settings."

Add Rounded Corners

Open the screen’s "Rounded Corners Mask" by navigating through rectangle -> rectangle path one -> roundness.
Set a roundness value (e.g., 24) to round the corners of your mockup.
Apply the mask to all other screen recordings for a consistent look.

Step 4: Finalize and Export

Best Practices

Make sure to hide placeholder images in the "comps" folder to avoid overlap before exporting.

Export Your Mockup

Select the composition you wish to export (e.g., 1350).
Go to Composition -> Add to Adobe Media Encoder Queue.
Choose the save location and export your composition as an MP4 by hitting the play button in Media Encoder.

Within a few minutes, you can create and export a stunning 3D mockup of your work using After Effects and ena.supply templates. These premium mockups will help you shine on social media, attract clients, and potentially land your next big job.
