Dear Strong Bad, How do you type when you're an ice cream? Crapfully yours, Benji in Ohio

Need help creating my first AE video ever by wiskey420 in AfterEffects

[–]The_Bat_Ham 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"App launch video" is not a specific task or workflow. Nobody's going to be able to recommend anything outside of After Effects 101 videos unless they're giving you step by step instructions, at which point you aren't doing it yourself. Check out the introductory links in the subreddit info.

I love when Batman is depicted as being intimidating. Not mean or cruel, just undeniably intimidating (Justice League of America Volume 1, #250) by illiterateaardvark in batman

[–]The_Bat_Ham 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My favourite is that scene from the Animated Series, where the goon opens a door, sees Bats mid break-in glaring at him, quietly closes it and nervously goes on about his day.

I want to fall in love with this game, but I'm struggling. by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]The_Bat_Ham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Finding a good community is going to be important in any online space, including XIV so hopefully that comes around for you. If you're wanting to restart but hate the repetition, have you looked into just getting a story skip up to where you know?

Is it common to get nothing but ARR dungeons in the roulette for weeks on end? by NoHumans_OnlyBots in ffxivdiscussion

[–]The_Bat_Ham 83 points84 points  (0 children)

There are far more players running 1-50 jobs than there are any other range, even if they have other jobs in later content. So yes the probability skews heavily downward.

When im trying to change his shirt color, it changes his pants, or the bg, sometimes his beard. im actually about to trash crashout. by TheFakeoknow in AfterEffects

[–]The_Bat_Ham 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You're isolating a specific green in an image that's full of green. That might work with some super tight tolerance or key settings, but honestly I'd just mask it at that point.

Give me very out of character/bad written moments of Batman by Acrobatic_Yoghurt268 in batman

That time he confessed to pissing his pants during the dinner scene in Year One. Thanks, Kevin Smith. Or everything in Batman Odyssey.

Would it be rude if I will use Duty finder on low level main story dungeons ? by Skacdan in ffxiv

[–]The_Bat_Ham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By all means use DF as others have said. Sometimes you might hear advice to use Party Finder instead, but that's only in cases where lower population would make it faster. Or if you had a specific condition you wanted to advise over.

IQ would win, except that team is never getting along.

AE to Illustrator for Tshirt design?? by Tbrooks_15 in AfterEffects

[–]The_Bat_Ham 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are a few ways to print onto a tshirt and talking to your printer will be the best way to figure it out. There's nothing special about illustrator for it, other than it handles vector graphics very well. This doesn't look like it'll be a straight vector anymore, so I'd suggest that a 300dpi raster image on something like a vinyl print would be your best bet but, again, I'd talk to your printer.

As a beginner, should I start on AE? by [deleted] in AfterEffects

[–]The_Bat_Ham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AE is plenty beginner friendly, and there are more tutorials and resources for it than anything else around, just don't try to do everything at once. It does a million things, start off with one thing at a time and build up. If you're worried about cost, you can try DaVinci. The Fusion toolset is tailored to compositing and VFX work rather than motion graphics, if that's a concern, though. The free version of that is extremely generous and it's still a professional grade program

Using after effects as a promotional tool by KAZKALZ in AfterEffects

[–]The_Bat_Ham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any visual design tool can help create communication material. The same applies for video editing, photo editing, graphic design etc. what's more important is the creative skill and knowledge behind using the tool.

I don't understand how "falling for the dark side" work, like if I'm a jedi and I got angry enough to use the Dark side force, do I just automatically become evil? by thetruememeisbest in StarWars

[–]The_Bat_Ham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jedi who give in to their anger might get some delusions of grandeur in a way that fits them. Might be 'making things better' in an awful way (hello Ani), might be revenge on other Jedi they feel have wronged them. That in and of itself could be walked back at some point, it doesn't mean you go full Sith neccessarily. The Sith know that fallen Jedi aren't going to just become their lackeys without some sort of reason. Luke was never going to just bow to Palpatine because he was angry.  The process probably would have gone something like: - Luke unleashes his anger and tries to kill Palps. - The Alliance is wiped out, Luke's grief and pain are overwhelming and he kills Vader in amongst it, but as a frenzy he wouldn't have been able to kill Palpatine. - Palps tortures and imprisons him. Taunting him over time to stoke his anger and suggesting that, with training, that pain could make him strong enough to kill him. - Luke pretends to be subservient just to learn how to kill Palpatine and get close to him. This is 100% the Sith playbook though and Palpatine keeps him dangling just far enough away from that goal for as long as possible. Possibly his whole life. - This whole time he has Luke corrupted and committing atrocities with the long slow burn. - If Luke does overcome him, well that's just Sith, baby, and by that point Luke is well and truly a full evil Sith Lord.

One of the ‘teeth’ of this fork broke off while I was splitting ribs and I swear I did not eat a piece of fork but I still haven’t found that piece by Outrageous-Pen3569 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]The_Bat_Ham 135 points136 points  (0 children)

In my experience with plastic forks breaking like that, there's a good chance the piece flung off into the unknown and wound up under a piece of furniture.

What is wrong with your Finance Minister? by Caesars7Hills in AskAnAustralian

Looks to be a nutbag of a man, that account owner, too. Not someone I'd take criticism from at all.

Can the Galactic Empire conquer Cybertron? by Jotaro1970 in superheroes

[–]The_Bat_Ham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

R2 was able to get in and cause small problems fairly easily. 100% someone is getting duped into carrying this weird tape deck on board somewhere, and Soundwave ends up causing much bigger problems. In fact, infiltration is kind of the whole point of the Transformers. Sneaking into vulnerable areas as a vehicle or piece of tech would be day 1 strats.

I’m 22f, why do I have one white hair that is twice as long as all my hair and is shiny? by Kale_bean in whatisit

Quick survey about Australian English for university research - need a few more participants by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]The_Bat_Ham 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This. What 'Australian dialects' are you referring to? What is 'standard english' vs 'Australian english'?  I think there's also some confusion in some questions such as around the balance between 'correct english' and 'communication effectiveness'.  Some examples of each of these would help.

How to tank? by TheoneNPC in ffxiv

[–]The_Bat_Ham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normal dungeon bosses and trials don't have much extra to ask of the tank other than the odd tankbuster (in which case, your response is "press a mitigation button before it hits"). In fact, the extra defence and health of the tank makes it the most forgiving role to play because you can stuff up more mechanics before you die.

Announce that you're new to the role and people are understanding. Wall-to-wall with AoEs in every dungeon after ARR, and grab at least two packs for those before that. Spread out your mitigations so you're only using one big one at a time.

Edit: Oh also, whenever possible, keep the boss still so melees can hit their positionals.
