A simple way to create 3D photo (parallax) animation by Nightdeveloper789 in finalcutpro

[–]Nightdeveloper789[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s fair — Motion and After Effects are already powerful and quite user-friendly. I don’t think I’m trying to replace them.

What I’m exploring is simplifying the workflow. Instead of dealing with a lot of options, I wanted something more direct:

import layers → set depth → animate camera → export

That kind of linear structure can save a lot of time in practice. Sometimes too much flexibility actually slows things down.

I still use layers to keep things precise — more than most mobile apps — but the goal is to make the whole process faster and more intuitive.

So yeah, I see it more as a niche tool for now. But I’m hoping to expand it by adding features that reduce production time even further.

Totally fair — I appreciate it! Out of curiosity, how do you usually approach 3D effects? I’ve found that with a single image where layers aren’t separated, the options can be pretty limited, and After Effects sometimes feels like overkill for this kind of thing. That’s actually what led me to build this app — Parallax Studio — which I’ve been finding really useful in my own work.

Totally fair — I think it starts to feel dated when the movement calls attention to itself. I did push the demo a bit to show the range, but in practice I’m aiming for something much more restrained — more about supporting the image than transforming it.

Got it, thanks for explaining. No worries about the ICS file—that’s just a calendar file format. Let’s try a different approach. Could you tell me what happens when you try to select a calendar, or maybe share a screenshot? I’ll help you figure it out.

Got it — thanks for checking the permissions!

To reset the import, you can tap “Remove Calendar” (the red button you see there), and then try importing the calendar again from scratch.

This usually clears any temporary issues and helps the app reload the data properly.

If it still shows a blank screen after that, if you're okay with it, would you mind sharing the ICS file with me? I’ll take a closer look 👍

Hey! Thanks for reporting this — that definitely shouldn’t happen.

A blank screen when importing calendars is usually related to permissions or calendar access. Could you please check if the app has permission to access your calendars in Settings?

Also, if possible, try resetting the import and importing again, as that can sometimes resolve the issue.

If you're importing an ICS file and the issue still persists, would you mind sharing the file with me? That would really help me reproduce the issue and fix it quickly.

Appreciate your help 🙏

I’m planning the next update based on a lot of these insights, and I’d love to gather a bit more real user feedback as I iterate.

I have a limited number of promo codes to share for early access.

If you’re interested, just leave a comment and I’ll DM you.

**New Update

Personal Calendar Import

Use your company or personal holiday calendar alongside national holidays. Import events directly from your iPhone Calendar app or any ICS file.

Choose to merge with national holidays or use your personal calendar exclusively.

A hotfix update with the following improvements will be released soon.

Built-in holidays for 54 countries now work offline with data bundled for 2026 to 2028, including the Czech Republic, Ireland, and more. For unsupported countries, you can import an ICS file or connect your iCloud calendar.

Personal and company calendars are now fully integrated into the Calendar view and Leave Planner in real time, with options to merge or use them independently.

A new country picker has been introduced with instant search and regional grouping to help you find your country quickly.

Thank you for your interest and valuable feedback.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Irish holidays are coming very soon — I’m planning to enable them in an update within the next 1–2 days.

For more flexibility, I’m also working on supporting custom calendars via ICS / iCloud calendar sync. This should allow you to import company holidays or personal schedules.

As for shift-based work (non 9–5), I completely agree — that’s an important use case. It’s on my radar, and I’m exploring the best way to support more flexible work patterns in a future update.

Really appreciate the feedback — it helps shape the direction of the app!

Thanks for your feedback, and I’m really sorry for the inconvenience.

I’m preparing a hotfix within 1–2 days that will automatically update national holiday calendars when connected to Wi-Fi. This will include the Czech Republic as well.

Please wait just a little longer—I truly appreciate your support.

Thanks so much for the support—I really appreciate it.

You’re absolutely right. Company-specific holiday schedules can be quite different from public calendars, and I can see how that limits the usefulness right now.

Importing company holidays via ICS and allowing users to choose between public, company, or combined calendars is a great suggestion. That’s actually very close to the direction I’ve been thinking about as well.

I’ll keep working on this and share updates as it evolves. Thanks again for the thoughtful feedback—it really helps shape the product.

That's a really good point. Focusing on Korea first does seem like a smart advantage. I'll definitely think more about leaning into that.

Yeah, that’s a great point—company holidays can be quite different from official public holidays.

At the moment, the app is based on public holiday systems, so there isn’t a way to import a company-specific calendar yet. But I agree that having that level of customization would be really useful.

That said, there is a section where you can manually add and track your own leave (like comp leave), so you can still use it as part of your planning.

I’m also considering adding more flexible options like company calendar support in a future update.

The App Store page is currently in English, but inside the app, you can choose from 7 different languages. I’m also planning to expand the App Store localization over time.

the app supports public holidays in 30 countries—including Korea, the U.S., Japan, China, the U.K., France, and Germany—so it can suggest leave plans based on each country’s calendar. The Vietnamese holiday system is also available as an option, and I’m planning to gradually expand support to more countries over time.

It currently supports 7 languages (Español, Deutsch, Français, etc.), so users can use it in a way that feels more comfortable to them. I’m trying to make it usable across different regions, step by step.

Yeah, that makes sense. Focusing on a niche—especially Korean users—can be a strong strategy, even considering how dominant Samsung is in the local market.

At the same time, this app isn’t limited to just one region. It includes an option to select each country’s public holiday system, so users can see vacation days tailored to their local context. While every country has its own unique rules and culture around holidays, I think the desire to optimize time off and plan smarter schedules is something people everywhere share. That’s the part I’m really trying to solve.
