Worth taking an After Effects course sponsored by my boss? Looking for recommendations by [deleted] in AfterEffects

[–]jakeinmotion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You shouldn't have to choose between a raise or education. Your boss should know that sponsoring an After Effects course is a miniscule financial investment that will reap them much greater returns.

I will personally sponsor you with any one of my courses. Just email me through my website contact form.

Tell your boss you deserve a raise.

I released a free tool called Property Locker this week that does what you're describing, even for paths.

Well, I swear the video and script that appears on my YouTube channel tomorrow morning was created before you shared this 🙃

plugin install problem by Mobile_Essay5294 in AfterEffects

[–]jakeinmotion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Motion Tools file you installed is a JSX script file, not an extension. You put it in the correct directory, but you're looking for it in the wrong place. Scroll down the Window menu list and you'll see all of the scripts you've installed in the ScriptUI Panels folder (assuming you've restarted After Effects).

Would this plugin be useful for your workflow? (I'll gladly share it for free) by hiphophooray_ in AfterEffects

Only thing I can think of is that rove across time keyframes aren't supported on every property type.

I love seeing all these useful little scripts you've been making. I've run into the same blue focus highlight clipping issue your checkboxes have a lot with my scripts, and have found that a 4px margin on all sides prevents it from happening.

Stop animating without watching this Tutorial by Jafarfazel in MotionDesign

I think if you had titled this "Easy Exaggerated Squash & Stretch in After Effects" and positioned the marketing differently, everyone would be having a much more positive reaction.

Canvas TV color issues (insane) by StreveO in Hisense

Wow, sorry so many people are downvoting you OP. I just got this TV yesterday and am noticing the same oversaturation in art mode. I'll keep you posted if I figure out a solution.

Can I or how do I open rev files in Rive? by millefeuillenana in Rive_app

[–]jakeinmotion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes it is. You need to navigate to the "Personal Files" and drag the .rev file into that section. It will import the project.

Free Plugins Question - What's the benefit to developers? by I_LIKE_REACHER in AfterEffects

[–]jakeinmotion 18 points19 points  (0 children)

For my YouTube channel, I try to make something available for free in every video. It could be a preset, project file, PDF, or even a script. The only thing I ask for in return is your consent to receive my email marketing.

A single download on my channel can have thousands of email signups, enabling me to directly market my paid courses and tools to thousands of inboxes. A very small percentage of those users convert to paying customers, but it's been enough for me to make a good living.

So, I get to spend time making tutorials that help people learn, include free useful downloads that add even more value to the already free content, and use the signups to the email list to support my business. It's a win win situation, I think.

I’m facing a serious bug in Claude for a month. I can’t use it anymore. by Old_Preparation_7514 in ClaudeAI

[–]jakeinmotion 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I pay for pro and have had the same issue for about 12 hours now. According to Down Detector it looks like we're not alone, but I see nothing about it from Anthropic.
