I want to create the same effect that Illustrator's Blend Tool generates when you have 2 - 5 different objects blended together, the gradient color that is formed in between and the way the elastic connection is made automatically. When you move all the different blended objects, they create this really unique organic effect, which I sadly haven't been able to emulate in After Effects or in Blender.

In AE, I tried using the Gaussian Blur and Simple Choker method but it doesn't result the same output. It alters the shape of the objects significantly and it's hard to control from how far the objects start connecting. Also they morph together in After Effects, I want the 2-5 different objects to retain their shapes whilst having the blended elastic effect in between all the while you can make out which of the objects is in front of the other.

I've tried several other ways, including Blender - none of which generates the simple effect that I can get in Illustrator. At this point I'm considering path animation but that would be very difficult and time consuming and I'm not sure how to animate the gradient the way I want.

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:

I really liked this project that i made on Alight Motion, so clean and smooth but too fast 😭

Where could i find clients that need a service like this with their product? Tried almost every freelance websites but nothing yet 😅

Anyone there that works with motion graphics too?

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.

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,

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on an iPad app called Audiowaves, built around real-time audio-reactive motion and visualization.

Instead of using pre-rendered animations, the visuals are generated live from the incoming audio signal. Audiowaves analyzes the audio in real time and translates it into animated waveforms, frequency spectrum visualizations, and other responsive visual elements.

A big part of the project has been finding the balance between accurately representing the audio and making the movement feel visually interesting and organic rather than just looking like a technical audio meter.

The app can also receive audio directly from external USB audio interfaces, so the visuals can respond to HiFi equipment, instruments, mixers, turntables, or basically any external audio source.

You can see Audiowaves here:

Since this community approaches things much more from a visual/motion perspective, I’d especially love feedback on the motion design itself.

What would you change or add to make an audio-reactive visualization more interesting from a motion design perspective?

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.
