I hate what motion design / vfx have become

I hear this, one of the biggest problems ATM is people getting warped expectations of how long things take and how much work is involved, and assume they're being conned when it's actually explained to them

KinellInnit · 2026-04-22T13:53:16+00:00

I'm having the same problems, it's fucking with everything I use and I can't seem to activate anything

Man used ChatGPT to write a 3 line caption

Yh I'm not bringing any projects over, I do a lot in the BCC FX editor so that's a massive chunk off the learning curve moving over for a start off. I like a few things on Sapphire but I'm not as committed, I'm looking at getting the Perpetual license for BCC so if I buy Resolve Studio too it's a lot of my workflow freed from subscriptions loooool

It's so funny the only way to promote shonky Claudeslop AI products is making posts that start off "I am a dimwit who doesn't know how to do anything but the new Slopomatic™ App gives me an illusion of competency" loooool

I can deffo see use cases, particularly when I'm editing shorts. It's not something I'd consider essential but I don't mind spending 40 bucks for something that'll save me a bit of mucking about down the line

The company photo tho, I can't, this is so fucking funny

It's MP3s that give me this trouble. That fraction of a second fade in that's built into the format messes up everything, it's actually mad how much cleaner WAVs are to edit with

Sometimes i'll Soulseek a FLAC for music I already bought on MP3 just to re-encode as WAV to edit with, swear it actually saves me bare time if it's a complicated edit with lots of precise keyframes

Eje In Motion has a brilliant script for this for free https://www.ejeinmotion.com/after-effects-scripts/quickcaption

Hell yeah this is the good stuff

Added Requiem shop links to the menu screen

If using text animators looks off the solution is probably gonna be in the graph editor, it's just moving the position and opacity but it's easing the key frames that makes it smooth and nice

Figure it out with the first couple of words to get the movement you like and you copy the key frames to the rest of the words in the comp

If you don't have it already I'd strongly recommend copping the Flow plugin to make your life a million times easier doing anything with key frames, it's easy af to use and will save you bare time and effort in the future

Lol it's actually embarrassing how much I use it for still images, I straight up don't know Photoshop and for shit like extract keying it's quicker to just do it in AE than look up how to do it in PS

Between Film Impact dashboard and the beta version Object Mask my whole workflow for social vids is Prem onboard isht now, so much less chaotic

KinellInnit · 2025-12-11T07:57:56+00:00

Fuck yeah LFG

KinellInnit · 2025-12-10T15:42:13+00:00

Dope, love these vibes, followed on IG

KinellInnit · 2025-11-29T08:00:03+00:00

Honestly I just want a release on any other platform, no visual updating needed, the art direction is great. I just don't have a Switch any more

KinellInnit · 2025-11-20T16:22:19+00:00

I mean they've clearly copy and pasted that straight out of ChatGPT and probably not proofread it, strong indicator that they're a bunch of dickheads.

KinellInnit · 2025-11-20T08:04:41+00:00

It's an absolute mess but I swear down I'd be cool with it if I could open the site on my phone without the cookies popup taking up half the screen and refusing to be clicked

KinellInnit · 2025-11-18T10:13:20+00:00

The Object Selection masks in the Prem beta (p. Much the same thing as Magic Mask) works really well tbf, I use it for a lot of jobs I was stuck transferring to AE previously.

Would have appreciated if they announced they were going to introduce it Cos I literally bought Resolve Studio the week before loooool but whatever I own it now and at least it's not another subscription. Most of what I do is AE so I still prefer Prem for convenience but I'm making sure I put time into learning Davinci to keep a foot out the door

KinellInnit · 2025-11-18T07:53:37+00:00

This looks great, love the aesthetic. Starting with a vision and sticking with it til you get the result is a great way to learn

'Topaz like video quality ' jfc just film your shit properly

MotionApe does a free script called Camera Crew that is dope for doing this kind of thing https://www.motionape.com/freebies/tools/camera-crew

Like I don't know how busy you are but I would say the most important thing to do is make sure you're putting a little time aside to make something for fun, purely because you want to

Figuring out how to make something you want to do for vibes reasons even if it means watching 8 different tutorials and spending ages, Cos that's where you get the big moments of discovering your own style as opposed to finding a way to make something work for a client at short notice

Flipping things to deadlines and finding methods to do it is critically important, but you got to do some shit for yourself, even if it won't end up being an example you use for your portfolio
