It's difficult to do. Besides, I'm neither a beginner nor an advanced learner.

I saw this AE clone https://github.com/storytold/effectcraft

it looks pretty close to the original and honestly if it's not as buggy and ill-optimized like AE I might consider switching over. Not having 3rd party plugins would suck so I might not switch over completely but just use the clone for doing simple mockups.

For people who've tried this clone or another, what was your experience like? Is it less glitchy? Does it actually feel like AE?

So let's say I want different words to appear at different time in single layer. I watched Youtube videos, tried it and I still don't understand.

It's extremely confusing and honestly I don't fully understand at what am I looking. I thought I just put keyframes at where I want to start and finish the animation, but it doesn't do shit.

I don't want complicated animation but just the words to appear at different seconds instantly without slow transition. I'm so confused.

i could recreate the inital frame using gradient overlay (radial) and colorama, but cannot figure out how the glows are created. would really appreciate some help !

A VFX breakdown from my music video "The River, the Shore".

2+ years in the making, the full music video combines real footage with Blender composited in After Effects and Resolve - with many of the scenes being fully CG!

Let me know what you think :)

No generative AI was used for this work.

Hey everyone, I made this map animation myself and I’m trying to improve my skills in this field.

I’d really appreciate some honest and constructive feedback on the animation. I’m especially interested in what I could improve in terms of the camera movement, transitions, map design, pacing, and overall presentation.

If there are any things that feel off or could be done better, please let me know. I’m also open to recommendations for tutorials or resources that could help me improve.

Thanks in advance for taking the time to watch and share your feedback!

Made this about 8 years ago for a social spot for a Disney film which was being released around that time, client thought it was too… dark in tone so it didn’t go anywhere. Enjoyed working on regardless and was an excuse to try and push myself.

Hello photoshop!
Seeking advice for how to best photoshop this poster onto a shot in a short film I'm editing. We don't have a clean plate without the green screen, and I'm worried that's made this process a lot harder. This reference is the best I've gotten so far, only caveat is the poster design has some low res elements that we'll swap out. This is going to be in black in white for the final look, so I'm hoping that helps blend it all in too.
Any advice on how to clean this up and make it look more part of the world?
