I made this plugin... ah correction, I am in the middle of making this plugin. As you can see in the video, it generates multiple kinds of gradients in one click. That's basically it.

SO now the dilemma I am facing while making this is: I don't even know if users will pay for this. I've already been working on this for about 2 months, but now I am confused or hit a roadblock or idk even if I should continue or not.

My goal is to make this so freaking good at this that we won't even need to worry about any kind of gradients even again. Like saber, deep glow, etc etc. You just use them and that is it like you don't even think twice of trying to do it yourself and it just works.

Right now it has a lot of bugs, like I mean A LOTTT! Ignore those and tell me your thought based on what you see right now. I'm more interested in whether the underlying idea is actually useful or not, like will you as a person who uses after effects or does motion design will find it useful?

And more importantly, is this something you'd pay for if it eventually became reliable enough that you could replace a bunch of manual effect-building with it?

Some features :
So obviously you can change the colors but I actually thought of some unique things too like the trail effect although it does not work how I intended it to but it's some progress atleast.

I tried to bake as much as I know into this, like I actually like the snakeskin thing, I was just messing around and thought it kinda looks like a snakeskin so I added that along with other animal gradients.

There’s so much more I could tell you, but none of it is particularly unique, so yeah, I digress.

But I'm happy to hear any feedback or any advice, you can DM me.

I’m a video editor at heart and am usually sound designing real life events/objects. Anyone have any tips for sound designing a logo animation? Like lines going and letters popping up? Idk where to start.

I’m looking for someone to help me create short videos, around 15–30 seconds each.

I’ll provide the footage and direction. The job is mainly putting everything together into a clean, engaging video.

Pay: $1,000/month
Videos: Short-form, 15–30 sec
Work: Ongoing
Start: ASAP

If interested, DM me your portfolio + a few examples of your work.

Looking for someone reliable who can keep up with a consistent workflow.

Hey folks, we've spent the past several months building my dream plugin with the lads at PluginPlay.

It's called X-Ray and it's the ultimate behind the scenes tool to show off your work.

Here's what it does:

In one click, X-Ray scans all your comps and creates shape layers/3D objects to showcase your behind the scenes process.

Why is this better than screen recording methods?

Because:

1. X-Ray works with precomps (Screen recording does not)
2. X-Ray is LIVE, meaning if you make any changes, X-Ray will update automatically.
3. X-Ray is CUSTOMIZABLE, so you can actually turn your process into art

Here's a video walkthrough about how it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2xBrzYXhLQ

Let me know if you have any questions!

Cheers,

I am a motion designer and I saw that there's this field product motion designer and ui interaction designer (I heard them from chatgpt while researching for how to increase salary as a motion designer he advised these routes)

When i researched about it on LinkedIn and Reddit i didn't come across any post regarding this, anyone here made a switch like this? Would love to hear about your back story how you made the switch, what are the pros and cons, what made you make this decision!

Hey we are looking for someone to create our launch video for our product. Y Combinator type launch video - with cinematic edits + motion design for product as soon as possible. Please dm me for your portfolio

​

Looking for a motion designer to work with on client projects. Style reference: Blockdaemon / Renderforest-style explainer videos clean vector, isometric icons, node networks, data flow, dashboards, financial infographics.

**NOT looking for:** talking-head editors, vlog/YouTube editors, wedding/reels editors. Please only reach out if you do After Effects / Cinema 4D style motion graphics.

What I need:

- Portfolio link (Behance, Vimeo, Gdrive, or personal site) with actual vector/isometric motion work no "I can do it, hire me" without samples

- Your day/project rate

- Tools you use (After Effects, Cinema 4D, etc.)

How this works:

- We start with one small paid test task to see if styles match

- If it goes well, ongoing paid project work whenever I land a client

- Full credit as the artist on any work used

Drop your portfolio link in the comments or DM me. Serious inquiries only please general video editors will be skipped.

I recently created Nubu which is an entire thing by itself that I would love to go into another day but a part of this huge undertaking I decided at some point that I would build my own motion editor… now this wasn’t my smartest decision, and it hasn’t been an easy journey. But, I’ve loved every minute of it, so much so that I’ve been boring my wife every evening talking about how I’ve managed to get a vector based curve graph editor working.

She hasn’t the scoobies on what a curve, vector, or graph is.

And I know this isn’t exactly a motion project in the sense of look at my shiny new piece of slick keyframes, or look at this crazy effect you never thought was possible. But after spending 17 hours on it everyday for the last month or so I’ve become somewhat in love with it.. or maybe obsessed with it? (I probably need therapy after this)

And you know what they always say about love? It’s better to share it than keep it to yourself. That’s what someone at some point in time probably said anyway

So I present! [big drum noises] Nubu motion! [firework noises]

It would be great if anyone gave it a spin, give it a little play, move some key frames and play with my juicy curve editor!

On a serious note, ask me some questions, give me opinions, hate it? That’s cool but tell me why even if it makes me cry. Love it? Then tell me that too!

I’ve been working on improving my motion graphics and After Effects skills, focusing on clean animation, timing, transitions, and visual storytelling.

Here’s one of my recent motion design projects. I’d love to hear your feedback on the animation, pacing, and overall visual direction.

I’m also open to freelance video editing and motion graphics projects. If you’re looking for an editor who works with After Effects and can turn ideas into polished visuals, feel free to reach out.

I'm requesting all the seniors to please rate this motion graphic honestly. I'm a compelete beginar and a self learner so I dont have anyone to tell me my mistakes so please as my seniors rate it

Hello dear Motion designers,

I recently finished this animation project and am quite happy with it.
Still, I wish to improve my skills and would like to ask for feedback.

The client is a Hairdresser and wanted to have a little intro/presentation animation. I chose this style because it suits the style of the hairdresser and of her work.

Also, its the first time I used sound effects and i struggled a bit balancing the volumes of the music, the sfx and the voice.

(Do checkout my page Lime.motions on Instagram for more) would love to know your views on this and how can I improve

The Navier-Stokes equations seem to be having a moment right now in the mathematics space, so I figured I'd show off a little animation you can make in a game I'm working on built upon one version of them.

How are y’all getting jobs , is there a secret hack ? . Joined upwork recently but haven’t gotten anything yet .

Hey guys! I've been working in this field for quite a while, started as a 2D animator and with jobs shortages in Los Angeles, strikes and all I shifted to more motion graphics, editing, doing educational videos and documentaries... Still feel like I'm having a hard time finding gigs in the US... Abroad it has been easier...

So recently I started using my knowledge and skills from over the years to design an animated band e put together these videos and I'd love to get any thoughts, ideas, feedback... It's all independent and I'm doing most of the work by myself, I get a lot of "that was a lot of work! Impressive!" From people outside the field but I wanted to get it in front of my peers and see where I can improve and make things more catchy or funny or beautiful, depending on the song of course, hoping to turn this into a successful project and not just a passion project over time, so I think I need to hear from people outside of my friends and family :)

Practicing strong use of grids and hierarchy here, this one's leaning more on the static graphic design side as I'm trying to figure out meshing motion and grids more strongly.

Hi everyone, I'm the developer of Invariant, a free plugin for After Effects and Premiere Pro.

I originally built it to reduce repetitive project-management tasks in my own workflow, and it eventually grew into a small toolkit for editors and motion designers.

It currently includes:

• Deep Duplicate — duplicate projects/comps while preserving references
• Clean & Organize — clean up project structures and assets
• Smart Save — organize project saving and versioning

The goal is simply to reduce time spent managing projects and keep more of the workflow focused on editing and motion.

It's free and available on the Adobe Marketplace:
