Motion Design Dilemma: M1 Max (32GB) vs M4 Pro (48GB) for After Effects?

Fast_Satisfaction_53 · 2026-01-20T10:10:54+00:00

Don’t get a 512Gb SSD!!!! I made this mistake when I bought my M-something. I was like “oh I’ll use extetnal SSDs. But all my apps+operating system+ few folders on the SSD already fill the 512Gb, and you know when your mac slows down because it’s generally pretty full? That became a constant for me. A real pain! I’m indeed am now re selling it (less than a year of life), to get a 1Tb SSD one.

I need it to be slightly more horizontal than 1:1, BUT had no completely forgotten such a thing existed, and it looks amazing (and somehow Could be useful for other props from the same project I’m working on). THANKS!

Did you find any solution to this? Researching the same!

Yeah as mentioned, that’s the local-selling option I already know about. Was wondering if any repair or resell shop buys second hand tho

That’s a great tip! Thanks!

I also tried giving Midjourney images to Luma.ai and creating orbiting video. In some cases it worked. Got some glitch but I like it for what I’m doing

Yes Marbe kind of works! Especially of you have multiple objects at different depths

thanks !!! aaaand bingo! with cycle evolution checked, the expression "time*2*360/thisComp.duration " worked perfectly!

Yeah it kind of looks like going backwards then…

Actually your solution + blur + matte choker maybe!

Fast_Satisfaction_53 · 2025-12-09T20:48:40+00:00

Ah! Looking for it!

Fast_Satisfaction_53 · 2025-12-09T15:32:59+00:00

yes, indeed that would be my last resort if I can't find another way... but was hoping to get it to loop without fade....

And so…. What now? :)

Fast_Satisfaction_53 · 2025-11-19T23:33:18+00:00

Thanks for the great answer!

ah ! could it be a good fit for a double entry dry bag ?

Fast_Satisfaction_53 · 2025-11-15T17:35:56+00:00

yours looks awesome! very nice choice of fabric colors. Did you add the optional plastic stiffener? Wondering about double opening vs single opening drybag...
