🎓 My course, The AI Assistant Editor: https://tinyurl.com/L2DCourse
🎬 1-on-1 Coaching With ME 👉 https://linestodesigns.com/dan-has-notes In this video, I’ll show you how to make your VFX composites come to LIFE by combining AI image generation, motion tracking, and 3D compositing all inside After Effects.
We’ll go step-by-step using:
• Boris FX Mocha for perspective motion tracking
• Midjourney for generating a custom AI monster
• Photoshop Generative Expand for cleanup
• Runway Gen-4 (or Hailuo/Kling) for image-to-video animation
• After Effects for final keying, masking, and 3D depth setup
By the end, you’ll know how to build your own hybrid AI + After Effects workflow that brings any scene to life—no matter how crazy the concept.

[Learn how to create realistic screen replacements in After Effects using Boris FX Mocha for perspective motion tracking, Photoshop Generative Expand, Keylight green screen keying, and AI image-to-video animation with Runway Gen-4 (or Hail/Kling). Dan from Lines to Designs walks through a full VFX compositing workflow: tracking a phone screen in Mocha Pro, generating a custom Midjourney monster, cleaning edges in Photoshop, animating the character in Runway, then compositing back in After Effects with 3D depth, foreground masking, drop shadows, parallax, and transform-based exports to avoid skew. Perfect for creators seeking an AI + After Effects pipeline for screen replacement, motion tracking, and cinematic VFX. ]
