Written by Tuan Tan

Why do some motion designs feel "flat" while others pop? It’s usually the lack of secondary motion.

This nested mask effect in Jitter is the easiest way to add depth to your motion design. Follow along with our Jitter file.

How to do it:

  1. Group your image & turn on Clip Content

  2. Scale the Group (10% → 100%)

  3. Scale the Image inside (150% → 100%)

  4. Offset the timing for that smooth reveal

Simple, effective, and works for any asset.
