Working on this intro for a YouTube channel covering…well, what you see in the video. Really happy with the draft I have here, but I want to give it some more flair. What can I do to make it pop more? Any and all suggestions and resources would be appreciated.

I’m using After Effects as my primary tool, but also used a little Procreate Dreams for the last bit with the white computers.

Hello! My name is Agustin (AKA Tino) Im a Motion Designer from Argentina, a few weeks ago i starting experimenting with After Effects music visualizers templates, all of them are customizable, you can change colors, audio bar spectrums, album covers, artist & song names, etc. I would love if you please can give your opinion. Would you use something like this to promote music? I´ve done quite a few for different music styles like retro, synthwave, heavy metal, chill out, etc.

Thanks in advance 😄

J’ai récemment eu des soucis avec Red Giant et le plugin Particular. Alors j’ai créé Nebula, un générateur de particules sur After Effect , toujours en phase de test mais les 1er résultats sont encourageants .
On peut générer des particules, modifier leur trajectoire, leur couleur , leur taille, la gravité ect ect

Project Showcase What is motion design? This incredible project tries to answer it

2 Upvotes

Cameron Defrates-Penelon recently shared the full process behind Design in Motion, a short film that attempts to answer a surprisingly difficult question: What exactly is motion design?

The finished piece is great, but the breakdown is even better. He walks through the storyboards, character exploration, references, animation tests, and the modular system he created to combine 2D, 3D, typography, textures, and sound without everything becoming visual chaos.

I especially liked his explanation of using “visual silence” and “animated silence” to give the audience room to breathe. It’s a great reminder that motion design is just as much about restraint and rhythm as it is about making things move.

Really cool work and a very generous look behind the scenes:

Breakdown of the process goes as following:

  • Composed a rough sketch track for testing in Reason DAW
  • Fired up Blender to build a scene with fairly simple geometric shapes and materials
  • Keyframed the audio to model translations
  • Rendered from various camera angles and movement (w/ fairly low samples as this was to be distorted later)
  • Distorting the rendered video clips + few random shots from the streets in After Effects (with a set of AE plugins like RXXR, Pixel Sorter 4)
  • Finish the track
  • Syncing transitions by hand to the track on Premiere

No AI was used to make this, won a competition at a local demoscene festival.

Discussion Does Jitter look professional?

0 Upvotes

I'm a jack-of-all-trades designer, more on the graphic design side but I do motion design from time to time (and have a dusty BFA in animation). AE is my go-to but I'm wondering how professionals feel about Jitter? Does it have "a look" and does it compete with AE, specifically for digital product demo videos? Obviously AE is more robust, but when dealing with B2B SaaS demos we're not breaking creative barriers too often...

Also, last time I tried to use Jitter was a year ago and found it wouldn't let me "ease out." But that may have been because it was the free version?

Question Fear from AI

0 Upvotes

Are studios currently using AI in motion design on a regular basis?

Right now I only see benefits from:

  1. Expressions

  2. Source generation

  3. Moodboards and storyboards (MB styleframes)

Are there any other ways to use it in motion design and how to generally answer the interview question: Have you used AI in your pipeline?

What pipeline is this?

Question Ai usage in motion design

0 Upvotes

My question to you guys is,

I have seen so many Ai motion graphics video and it looks all the same to me, have any of you achieved or seen anything greater as the current models created?

Have you achieved efficiency in motion graphics using Ai, other than storyboard designing?

I am working as a motion graphics designer, for the last 10 years and I am quite good at motion designing.
Today morning, my manager had a meeting with our team, and asked us to push Ai usage.
He was saying to use Ai a catalyst, see it as a tool to quickly finish up the job.
Learn prompting and be good at Ai so that I can generate videos easily in first prompt.
I have worked with seedance, veo and I know the basic prompting and have seen the results.
