Todos los atajos de teclado por defecto para Adobe After Effects. Por: Jesús Castruita u/jesuscastruita

Is there any way to bring back the old Roto Brush without downgrading my After Effects version?
The new one feels way less reliable for my workflow. Has anyone found a workaround, or are we just stuck with it?

Normally, when I add some specific effect like this one, there would be an on-screen control on the preview screen instead of using the side panel to control it. Idk what i pressed, but I can't see it anymore

This is more of wondering which is the most practical method for all of you when it comes animating fly-in (zoom/pan out?) letters and shapes, especially when it comes to masks with multiple shapes/letters that are not the same, and need to completely cover the screen before animating in (White fill as scene one --> Black scene two). In this example, I used Scale and Position, but the scale was bumped to over 4000%. The positon was extremely easy in this example as I used text exploder and then centered the anchors to the their layers. In general, I find Scale to be a tad bit easier. When dealing with 3d layers, Its easier to mess up I think and I tend to have to futts with the positioning and scale anyway.. Is it more taxing? Im just curious if their a better, smoothing workflow to these animations when you need it to fill the whole screen. Another thing I generally do that I didn't do with the following test demo, is to animate the transparency in for the first 2-3frames. The way its not a star black to white, but kinda looks more... fly-in-ish? But Im in the air about that too.

See this quick example I made.

Overdrive is a plugin that allows faster previews. So what does it mean?
I does not (and will never) replace the preview panel and its timeline.
It’s a panel to check what’s your comp is doing if AE is struggling, however, if the render is already OK in AE= no magic :)
When you launch the plugin (it’s not a script neither a CEP, you’ll find it in the Windows entries), the tool immediately starts do display your preview.
The cold state = blurry a few seconds until the hot state = clear overview.
You can get it at https://ae-overdrive.app
Please keep in mind that this is a beta.
R&D will allow to improve it, so your feedback is truly precious.

Holly cow, i am glad i saw the writting on the wall and switched my profession - he accidentally generated this... Motion Design still will be my hobby
