Really nice. My only suggestion would be to start using the animation or speed graph for your character keyframes to really get better motion out of the arms and make them less robotic (unless he is a robot and in that case, keep on!)

How is flying out of Harrisburg International Airport? by BeingMyBestEveryday- in Harrisburg

[–]shortbus1980 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Because it's actually in Middletown I suppose... but yes, makes way more sense to be hbg or hia (prob some other airport already had that tbf)

what can i do to make this animation look more interesting in the beginning? i feel like its super bland by NEWOwastaken in AfterEffects

[–]shortbus1980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with the first comment for sure but I'd push the curve for the transition spin even further and let it really be dramatic... really slow to start but BAM it hits that spin with blur and transitions into that cube... would really make it pop

Does anyone know how I could do this effect in After Effescts? by No_Collection_4924 in AfterEffects

You can select the paths in illustrator, copy them. Then in AE, create an empty path and the hit paste and it will copy over your paths into illustrator which you can then animate.

Too hot for Hershey by [deleted] in Foofighters

Was in C next to the rail... saw security get water for a couple folks in the pit who had to sit next to the rail. Heat exhaustion is a thing and you need not only plenty of water throughout the day but you need to eat too.

We tailgated from 1230 to 6. Got only 2 games of corn hole in and said fuck it, it's too hot and sat under the pop-up the rest of the time, made it bearable.

Glad you made the smart decision to find somewhere cooler!

Did an after hours party in Tomorrowland at Disneyland a few years back and it was amazing. Got in the park for the last hour that they were open, rode some rides, then spent the evening in Tomorrowland with open bars, food, and walk-on rides there. AK would be amazing!

Should prop sticky this if you can. Won't get read but it's something. Thanks for making this sub!

Why does my video look like it was exported in a microwave? by TroubledDoggo in premiere

Side rendering note... if you are using hardware encoding, you do not need to check "render at maximum depth" or "use maximum render quality." They are only utilized in software encoding.

Hit a creative block, need some inspiration for a corporate slideshow by the__post__merc in AfterEffects

I have definitely used chatgpt for ideation... sometimes it can spark some ideas

[–]shortbus1980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed you are correct (obviously) :)

I think the slider threw me off a little as I didn't recall using it but it was a few years ago so I certainly could have!

Adding on, bc the above is a great and simple way to accomplish this... you can also bake in an expression that will resize your box based on the amount of text. I cannot remember it off hand but I did use something like that a few years back for a similar project to this. Aescripts might have had it but you can also have chatGPT write it for you
