After Effects Classic Course: 3D Camera Depth of Field

After Effects’ 3D camera has long had the ability to automatically blur the layers (and portions of layers!) depending on how close to or far away from the virtual camera. Unfortunately, the initial implementation had very poor quality. If this turned you off of the feature forever, you should revisit it, because Adobe improved it to have a smoother blur, to simulate different iris settings, and to treat specular highlights differently as they’re blurred.
