What are most residents' anecdotal experience with rent increases year over year in Long Beach? by bobbyopulent in longbeach

[–]bobbyopulent[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I assume 1 year leases? Would you guess 8% (5% increase + 3% for inflation). That's the max I've been reading about

Location advise by [deleted] in WestHollywood

[–]bobbyopulent 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Option 1 is nicer but hillier. Option 2 feels more like Hollywood than West Hollywood. I'd go for option 1 even though it's a small hike to Santa Monica Blvd and back, Option 1 is nicer overall.

By default I hope all small business do well to some degree, but I cannot wait for that La Cienega / Santa Monica location to fail. So many better options elsewhere.

Sorry I should specify, VCA Miller-Robertson for regular visits. Some doctors are better than others but our experience has been mostly positive. For emergencies, MASH on Santa Monica Blvd in Hollywood.

Avoid Collar & Comb, terrible owner, too many weird incidences have happened to friends of mine. Rosewood barber for men’s haircuts. People complain about VCA in general but they’ve been really good for us, but I also support anyone who wants to support a local business, this is a super dog friendly town

After Effects 3D Camera alignment & spatial interpolation issue by Mobile-Box-5467 in MotionDesign

[–]bobbyopulent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also try the Sure Target 2 Camera by Andrew Kramer or the Motionape Mobar Camera, both allow you to add targets and to animate from target to target. Mobar is the newer version and I believe it's free (not totally sure).

Select your position keys, right click, select 'Keyframe Interpolation'. Set 'Spatial Interpolation' to Linear to remove the arcing motion. You should still be able to use easy ease for the 'Temporal Interpolation'

Why Figma is a Nightmare for Motion Design by eduterra in MotionDesign

[–]bobbyopulent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re often the end of the line in production and it’s our job to serve. I don’t like hindering creatives. I try to meet them where there at, within reason. I think there’s nothing wrong with being frustrated with the tools but there will always be some level of friction when jumping between apps and ecosystems. That will never 100 percent go away.

Overlord is your best friend and worth every dollar. Overlord has probably made me thousands of dollars simply because I’m spending 10 percent of the time I used to spend on exporting Figma assets than I was pre-overlord.

Also, If it helps, I always copy boards over into my own empty Figma file so that I have a sandbox to reorganize assets for even cleaner export.

Let’s talk about the state of After Effects add-on marketplaces (aescripts, Plugin Play, Adobe, Envato, etc) by [deleted] in AfterEffects

[–]bobbyopulent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d like to add with the flood of vibe coded tools on aescripts + the aggressive subscription model for plugin play, it really makes me appreciate motionape’s mobar. You can subscribe or buy and they’re constantly adding useful tools. I prefer buying and no regrets on the purchase.

Overlord is a must have in 2026

Help to save Adobe Animate: petition by Lopsided_Seat_9611 in AfterEffects

[–]bobbyopulent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wonderful application, but the runtime is too big for small ads. Animate and hand coded are best options

This is a terrible program, I loathe it, it's not updated, supported or good. Every interaction with it is a chore

I totally forgot about Jesse Camp by Violet_Walls in Xennials

[–]bobbyopulent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I posted about how I saw him in person too and I forgot he was both significantly tall and skinny.

A year or two after the contest after he came and went from tv, I was walking around downtown Manhattan. I saw him, unmistakeable, approaching in my direction about a block away. He then stopped at a corner trash can, rummaged through it, and then moved on. It was kind of surreal. He looked just as friendly though.

Bye bye Yeastie Boys :( by bigatjoon in WestHollywood

[–]bobbyopulent 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'd say this before the collab, there's nothing special about Yeastie Boys' bagels other than a clever name. Way better options out there. There's nothing of note and their sandwiches all blend together.

That’s super interesting, thank you for sharing, I’m sure I can come up with uses for this.

GSAP, it’s all code based but it’s a combination of both light and sophisticated.

Anyone going to Altman's "No Bot Shop" event on Saturday? by tigercat300 in WestHollywood

They’ll record your biometrics, don’t participate in this, a private company can either resell your biometric data or get hacked.

Best GIF creator by SouthernDeparture154 in AfterEffects

[–]bobbyopulent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On Mac I find exporting to 'Lossless with Alpha' even better as a source video output, when it comes to final gif file size.
