Want to learn the viral TikTok Building Grow Effect — but make it look way more cinematic, glitchy, and professional? 👀
In this After Effects tutorial, I’ll break down step by step how to recreate and upgrade the popular TikTok effect. We’ll go beyond simple masks and actually add depth, glitch overlays, lighting tricks, and advanced animation techniques to make your scene look like it came straight out of a music video.
In this video, you’ll learn:
✅ How to cut out buildings and background using RotoBrush
✅ How to animate the “growing” effect with masks and shadows
✅ How to use glitch overlays to add distortion and chaos
✅ Advanced effects like CC Scale Wipe, CC Ball Action, and Deep Glow
✅ Extra touches like particle overlays for a cinematic vibe
