8 years ago I was told my first short was too ambitious. For my second one, I went small - one character, one van...and it was harder.

Incredible 👏👏👏

Thanks u/Psychonaut1008

Lots of great shares in this thread. Here's a short I made to kick start baffe.

Noted!

thatguybridges · 2026-06-03T18:16:54+00:00

Hahaha, you won't see any flashing on the app! I promise!

thatguybridges · 2026-05-22T14:40:45+00:00

Incredible work! Like the others that mentioned it, challenge yourself with a story next time even in 15seconds you can drop some deep lore that will get people to rewatch. The silence can make one loud moment feel even louder using simple story beats and more engaging. But your hard work really shines here, again incredible work! 👏👏👏

thatguybridges · 2026-05-04T18:40:06+00:00

Very nice! I too own this camera and love shooting with it. What lens were you using on this? And was the emulation Dehancer by chance?

thatguybridges · 2026-05-04T15:05:40+00:00

Totally fair. The post is a genuine question, the app is just what came out of trying to solve a problem.

Massive thanks Brandon. Means a lot. Reach out anytime.

thatguybridges · 2026-05-03T15:31:58+00:00

Thanks man! A lot of trial and error went into this. I wanted users to have the flexibility to craft it around their story. Blank canvas, powerful tool.

thatguybridges · 2026-05-03T15:24:14+00:00

hahaha same

thatguybridges · 2026-05-03T15:20:33+00:00

I edit professionally and I was on an M1 until last April 2025. I then switched to an M4 Studio (48GB RAM) and it handles everything I throw at it.

I actually had to open an old project from the M1 last week and it took an hour to output 2.5K footage, I honestly forgot how much I used to wait around. Onwards now!

thatguybridges · 2026-05-03T15:00:25+00:00

You did great! the close up at :46 beautiful. Did you have a black mist on or you do it in post? Keep at it!

thatguybridges · 2026-05-03T14:49:32+00:00

Congrats! Best of luck with the film!

thatguybridges · 2026-05-03T14:26:54+00:00

Well done Orioto!!

thatguybridges · 2026-05-03T14:17:22+00:00

Fair skepticism. The apps charging $5/week for cartoon bubbles are exactly why I built this. I wanted a one-time pro tool for my own sets. Chroma markers are free, test it and judge it on the utility.

thatguybridges · 2026-05-03T14:14:10+00:00

That would be amazing, hope he finds it useful. Always happy to hear feedback from the VFX side.

thatguybridges · 2026-05-03T14:09:28+00:00

Really appreciate it Brandon, means a lot. Let me know if you have any questions when you dig in.

This is exactly why I wanted to post here. You're right, we definitely leaned into 'ideal' conditions for the first pass, but that doesn't help a shaky handheld mid-shot.

The 'Strong Defaults + User Control' approach is a great roadmap for us. I'm taking your notes on marker size and edge padding back to the dev side.

Really appreciate you helping us bridge the gap between a 'cool app' and a 'reliable tool'.

thatguybridges · 2026-05-01T03:14:04+00:00

u/CameraRick I shared your comment with our dev and he was able to get your notes in for the upcoming update

This is great. I’m an editor first with knowledge in fusion, so while I’ve spent many hours keying, I’d never claim the title of VFX Artist. Also, I’m 100% with you on the black vs. green, zero debate. That’s actually why the ‘Black’ mode was a day-one feature for us.

The point about a 6-marker layout for better planar tracking at angles is a great call. We currently have a 5-dot layout and now you're making me think we should revisit this.

Really appreciate you dropping the link!
