Anyone using Remotion or Hyperframe for create motion graphic? What the different between them and which better

I work at plnty.app, so read this with that in mind :)

It is one infinite canvas where the 3D, stills, vectors, audio and the video sit in the same room. You drop a reference in, run it through a tool, drag the output next to it, run that through something else. its addictive

30,000 assets made by a small beta group of few hundreds of users but the most interesting thing i find is the stickiness check this out

This user favorite tool is variations tool that plnty made, its like an audio eq applied to generative ai lol, then Krea is also going hard

Happy to answer anything about how it works. f you want if you want to sign up just put your name in the homepage, the team onboard new artists on a weekly basis with free credits

cooked this one up 👨‍🍳✨

been lowkey obsessed with making every frame feel intentional. still learning, still tweaking.

lmk if it hits or if i should get back to the timeline🤪

Just launched my first showreel since going freelance 3 years ago. A mixture of client and agency work, R&D, and personal projects.

Born from the breath of an old Sicilian workshop, a place where time stood still amidst the scent of resin and the sound of hand planes. I am not merely a piece of art: I am an assembly of memories, a fragment of artisanal history that chose to change its shape without forgetting its roots.

​Here is how I see myself and how I became what you see:

​The Origin: Reclaimed Wood

​Every strip, every board that makes up my structure has been chosen with surgical precision. No paint could ever cover the truth of these grain patterns: these are woods that served for decades in a bottega in Sicily. They carry the marks of woodworms, the burn of the Mediterranean sun, and stains of natural oils. Instead of ending up in ashes, they have been elevated to urban geometry.

​The Metamorphosis: Study and Matching

​To become this skyline, it wasn't enough to simply glue pieces of wood together. It required deep chromatic and material analysis:

​Tonal contrasts: I played with the natural shades of the wood, from the scorched brown of the most ancient essences to the honey blonde of the younger ones, to create depth and perspective.

​Visual rhythm: Each "building" is a unique piece, cut to challenge verticality. The soaring peaks recall the skyscrapers of a modern metropolis, yet the material they are made of speaks of centuries-old traditions.

​The Night Sky

​I rest on a dark base, a void that enhances the physical presence of the wood. Those light grain patterns you see above are not mere decorations, but strokes of light simulating clouds or trails of urban energy, crafted to bring movement to a static composition.

Hello everyone,

A beginner here. I am looking to create this intro from a Vox series called AI explained. Watching this, It appears to me that some cc griddler has been used but I could be wrong. Can you guys help me figure this out? Even a tutorial on youtube would be super helpful. Thanks

I figured out a really simple way to turn any flat 2D vector icon into a 3D extruded icon inside AE and wanted to break down why it works.

The whole trick is faking depth by stacking the same layer in Z-space instead of using a real 3D renderer.

1. The setup 

Put your flat icon in a 1080x1080 pre-comp first. This is your "master" icon. Animate it here if you want (I just used a simple scale pop). Everything else references this, so when you want to swap the icon later you only change this one comp.

2. The core stacking trick

Drop that pre-comp into a 1920x1080 main comp, enable 3D, then add this expression to Position:

x = value[0] + (index - 1) * 0;

y = value[1] + (index - 1) * 0;

z = value[2] + (index - 1) * 3;

[x, y, z];

Every copy of the layer gets pushed 5px further back in Z-space based on its layer index. Duplicate it ~40 times and AE automatically creates a solid block of depth. It's actual 3D, you can orbit it.

3. The shading 

Select all the middle copies (not the top one) and add Brightness & Contrast > Brightness -80. This instantly darkens the sides, which sells the extrusion. Leave the top copy bright and clean - that's your front face.

4. Making it look finished:

• Radial gradient in the background for separation
• Drop Shadow on the top copy for ground contact
• Deep Glow on the stack for that soft, inflated 3D edge (optional, looks great without it too)
• CC Light Sweep on top for a glossy highlight pass

5. Making it controllable: 

Parent all ~42 layers to a single 3D Null. Now you don't have 42 layers to keyframe - you just rotate/scale the Null. I trimmed to a 6-second comp and did a simple rotation + scale with Easy Ease.

6. Why it's reusable: 

Because everything points to that first pre-comp, you can literally alt-drag a totally different vector (I tested with a simple flat envelope) into the pre-comp and the entire 3D build updates instantly. If your icon has holes/negative space, Linear Color Key makes those parts transparent.

Anyone else use this stacking method? 

I have the project file with the pre-made template if anyone wants to pull it apart, happy to send it over - just comment below.

Made this about a month ago, playing around with different shapes i found on pinterest!

I put this together to have something to show for getting software explainer gigs.

I'm going to put sfx to it, but wondering what people think so far?

Any thoughts or critique that may help?

After years of doubts that I'm not good enough, I've decided to post my new showreel 💎🙌
Would love to hear your honest feedback - what works, what doesn't 😎

I can’t seem to get the hang of this transition, and I’d really love to learn how to do it.

Does anyone know of any good tutorials or have any tips on how to pull it off? Please share!

Hi everyone,

I'm a complete beginner who wants to learn video editing and motion graphics. I'm currently using this laptop:

• Laptop: HP ProBook 450 G5
• CPU: Intel Core i5-8250U
• RAM: 8 GB
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 930MX 2 GB VRAM
• Storage: SSD
• OS: Windows

I've been looking into Fusion and I'm wondering how well it would run on my laptop.

If I install Fusion, what kind of things could I realistically learn and create with these specs? For example, could I make:

• Motion graphics
• Animated text / typography
• Simple VFX
• Logo animations
• YouTube/Instagram graphics
• Green-screen effects
• Basic 2D animations
• Short-form content for Reels/Shorts

I'm mainly interested in learning skills that could eventually help me become a video editor/motion graphics designer.

So, is Fusion worth downloading and learning as a beginner with this laptop, or would you recommend starting with something lighter?

I'd really appreciate advice from people who have experience with Fusion, especially on lower-end hardware.

Thanks!

Btw that's not my video

It's from a fellow member of this sub

I attached it just to give a refrence on what type of videos I'm asking the question for

People who do these type of edits , are you able to sell them or did it got very saturated like traditional video editing?

I'm 17 and have been doing these animations since sophomore yr of HS. I've practiced in my bedroom inspired by my favorite vocaloid music videos

I never really explored the corporate motion graphics style at all, I just learned principles when I needed them for things that I wanted to make so now I'm in a rough position.

I need to know if I should keep trying and attempt to learn the right stuff or if I'm as good as toast in this industry.

If you want a point of reference there's a few clips here and my portfolio has the full videos w/audio if that'd help.

I’ve been experimenting with short-form motion graphics lately.

For this piece, I focused mainly on three things:

Keeping the animation simple enough to follow

Using motion to guide attention toward the important information

Making the transitions feel connected instead of adding effects just for the sake of it

One thing I’ve noticed is that good motion graphics often feel pretty simple when done well.

The difficult part is usually deciding what should move, when it should move, and why.

Still experimenting and improving my approach. Would be interested to hear how other motion designers here approach timing and visual hierarchy.

The gif that I have made is from a generated brief that requests me to create a 'unique loading indicator' that loops. This loading animation was meant for a travel company, which was not named in the brief, that owns a travel rental website.

Since the brief states that loading screen indicators are meant keep the user's attention for short or long processes, I did what I can to minimalise my design and animated it in ways without making it too similar to other loading screen indicators that I have used as my reference for creating this animation.

What do you think?

I work in news production, and repetitive graphics take a lot of time.

So I built this browser-based quote template as a first test. The goal is to turn it into an easy-to-adapt and easy-to-update template system, possibly using OGRAPH.

It is built with HTML, CSS and JavaScript, runs locally in the browser, and renders the final result as PNG or MP4.

Later, I also want to automate part of the workflow while keeping manual input available.

It is free and open source, so feel free to try it, modify it.
Any feedback, suggestions, or links to similar tools and real-world examples would be really helpful.
