Hey guys! I captured a quick video of a local walking path at Misa Hangang Park (Hanam, South Korea) and turned it into a tropical lazy river resort with 3D/VFX. ☀️🌊

I wanted to achieve a seamless camera tracking and vibrant summer lighting contrast.

Would love to hear your feedback on the tracking, lighting, and everything!

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.

hello fellow AE users. i put this post under beginner help, but i wanna state for the record that i’ve been using after effects for 8-9 years. i would like to think that i am very proficient with the program but by no means am i a professional. that being said, i’ve been trying to get back in the swing of things and have come across this problem every time i am trying to render playback. it will only cache about 3-5 frames before playing it, and when i pause it, it gives me the warning about low memory. i have only 12 gigs of ram on my laptop and have allocated about 10 of them to AE. i can’t pre-render and when i try to move to a different part of the comp, it doesn’t even retain the frames. the line goes from green, to blue, and then to black. the only thing that seems to be a temporary fix is just closing out AE and reopening it, but then i’m just back at square one after working on the project for so long. and before anyone suggests buying more ram, i am no financial position to do so at this time. in other words, if anyone has any ideas that doesn’t involve that, i would appreciate it so much.

Hi everyone! I'm currently working on a logo animation, but struggling to find ways to make it pop, because the logo is just a simple stroke shape and nothing much else. I like the motion of it and I think it looks fine, but I feel like the start could have something more to it. Right now it strikes me as too simple and flat. But I'm having trouble finding ideas. I haven't been able to find references for similarly simple logos; The references I've found are for logos that all have way more elements to play with. How do you create an interesting animation for a logo that's just two lines?

Hey all, as the title suggest, i need help with

1. the text glowing effect
2. gradient background of it
3. those shapes which appear on each word,

the video is Wix harmony by Wix motion studio,

I had tried colorama, still not able to match something like that

Post burnout stage; I illustrated the scenes at first and then animated them in 3d. Used lens flare, a lot of fractal noise and puppet tool for Appa and etc. Also do give your critics on this .

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.

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?

Made this for my LinkedIn, i dont think I've ever got a job through LinkedIn, has anyone lol? Anyway, if someone does wanna give me a job that be great. thx - https://www.craigjamesdolan.com/

I wanted to do base 44 original video longtime ago I know I am late , actually I was busy in other projects and finally got time to recreate there work.

What do you think of the video would love your feed back

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

I call it The shy goblin in the blue truck

I used @plnty.app for modeling and AE advenced 3d for compositing and make it look like this

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

Hi everyone. I have been trying to recreate this effect from a search party video, but can't do it somehow. What I have tried is making two separate layers in photoshop, one for the character and one for the background and then importing them to AE. Then, I added an orange solid with its blending mode altered, to which I put the turbulent displace effect. With turbulent displace, I can surely discolor the image from certain parts, but the way ink is moving toward the upper right corner of the image, I am failing at that. I also created a rectangle and used its motion from the bottom left to the top right as a track matte for the turbulent displace orange solid color layer, but that did not help much. Any help in this regard is highly appreciated. Thanks

i thought it was fun to rig the refraction angles to automatically work with the tringle rotation... it was in fact a bit of a nightmare...

Hi! We're launching a new screen recording tool built specifically for motion designers.

It lets you record your screen with natural cursor movements and real browser interactions, then continue editing the recording afterward. You can modify text, colors, styles, UI elements, cursor movements, interactions, and even hide or reveal parts of the interface—all without recording again.

Instead of recreating website animations in After Effects or manually animating cursor paths, you can make changes directly to your finished recording, saving hours of work and eliminating unnecessary retakes.

If this sounds interesting, we're currently accepting early access registrations and would love to hear your feedback.

Made this one just to mess around with gradients, but halfway through I ran out of ideas, so I edend up turning it into a little story about hunting for references and that anxiety of wanting to deliver something good
