Video and Motion Graphics specialist EFEKT_Studio gave away the amazing Parallax Slideshow After Effects template and invited users to share what they created.
Before we announce the winning entries, let’s examine what a parallax slideshow actually is.
What is a “parallax slideshow”?
Slideshows are no longer static images with basic and predictable transitioning. Instead, they have now become full-fledged, compelling videos with beautiful transitions, effects, and typography that keep users highly engaged.
With parallax slideshows, foreground images in a photo such as a person or object can be masked and separated from the background and then animated at independent speeds to create an illusion of three-dimensional depth. Part of the beauty and benefit of creating these kind of videos is that they yield impressive, dynamic results from static photos instead of the often more time-consuming and more-expensive-to-shoot video footage.
One of the best ways to produce high quality video slideshows is by using customizable After Effects templates.

Templates typically come with multiple transitions to offer variety and flexibility while producing video. They are also often coupled with special effects including light leaks, particle effects, special masking transitions, and typographical effects. Many templates are set up in a way that photos and images can easily be dropped into a project and quickly manipulated to achieve the desired effect.
