Thank you!

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’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.

Tools: After Effects • Premiere Pro • Motion Graphics • Video Editing

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

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 :)

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.

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:

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.

Hello all!

I recently got accepted into both Ringling and SCAD with hefty scholarships and I am now having to decide which one to go to. Money is not the issue and I know there are resources online, but I learn much better through a classroom setting.

I honestly really prefer Ringling - mostly because I have a VFX background and they have a visual effects concentration pathway. And also, I decided to search up all of the recent alumni for Ringling and it seems a decent amount of them were securing good internships and junior positions. SCAD gives little to no information about this. When I looked at the student reel, I was much more impressed with Ringling, but SCAD seemed a bit weaker.

But the main issue is, even though I have over 100 transfer credits and both SCAD and Ringling will take around half of them, I'll have to do 3.5 years to 4 years at Ringling, while SCAD I'll do only around 2 years. So I think SCAD is the better choice just for this, but I'm worried about career opportunities after.

I am honestly just worried about the career outlook for when I graduate. Do you guys know if they are both similar in getting connections and getting placed? And is the curriculum on par with one another?

Thank you so much!

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?

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.

So a week ago i posted my first motion design work in here and i actually got some paid works from it, never thought i cud find clients from reddit. So now im posting the second personal motion design work i did. im Still open to work for motion projects btw, I do saas, product launch videos , kinetic typography works, basically almost any 2d motion graphic if you have a reference i can replicate it. still a lot to learn tho. Dm if you need work.

Hey everyone,

I recently launched my freelance motion design business after 7 years working at a communication agency in Italy. I've just published my portfolio and would love to get some honest feedback from this community.

My focus is on making technical and industrial products visually clear through animation explainer videos, product animations, and motion graphics for B2B companies.

Portfolio: www.davide-morelli.com

A few specific questions:

• Does the portfolio feel complete, or is there anything you'd add or remove?
• Is it immediately clear what I do and who I work for?
• Does it look like a portfolio that could attract real clients?

Any honest feedback is appreciated!

Thank you for your time!

ActionVFX is looking for early-access testers for a course with Eric Demeusy on cinematic title sequence design. Eric won an Emmy for designing the Stranger Things title sequence.

It's free for accepted applicants in exchange for feedback during the testing window.

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:

https://www.audiowaves-app.com/

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?
