r/AfterEffects

I filmed the start and footage with my drone and the client wanted me to show a warp speed effect between the two locations 10 miles apart. I tried AE for a bit, gave up, and just put the start and end frames in Kling AI. The result was way better than I expected.

I saw this beautiful animation and I thought the texture on the blues and greens were stunning. From my understanding of the texturize effect, I don’t think it’s being used here. The first one could be a blue to white gradient, but having little specks of blue and the texture of the entire thing completely stumps me. I see roughen edges I think, but yeah same with the texture of the green.

So far I’ve tried overlaying a halftone texture, texturize, and roughen edges.

Any ideas?

The example is one of my static 2d maps with the added effects I want. The stuff I require are, imho, pretty straightforward. Small lights flickering, energy movement, light flickering, water movement. I watched one of my friends do this using wallpaper engine and blender. With that said, I'm not entirely sure what a professionals would charge, so please drop a comment with your portfolio and I'll reach out.

Important points:

-The animations need to loop, about 8-10 seconds loop is more than enough. Audio and music may be added.

-Final file format should be mp4/webm

-I'm looking for a long, LONG term artist in this, someone who potentially could do multiple maps each month. Not looking for a one-time or on-off commissioning.

-If you have experience with TTRPGs, whether professionally or as a hobbyist, you get extra points.

I THINK THE AUDIO IS ALMOST Unhearable AND IS IT TOO BRIGHT?

sometimes im just amazed whats possible in after effects

Made this in like 1 hour

AE is honestly creeping closer to being a legit 3D tool. Still missing proper rigging and animation support for 3D models (Blender exists for a reason), but for motion design and 3D scene composition? It's surprisingly capable.

Built this shot completely inside After Effects, Full tutorial here if you want to try it yourself:

Drop any questions below, happy to help.

how do you pull off this kind of transition? I know there’s some position keyframing going on, but there’s also some effect on an adjustment layer that I can’t remember. Tried using mesh warp, liquify, bezier warp. But couldn’t do it.

How can i improve the design because i feel its empty , and tell me if there is anything else should be fixed and how !

i followed a tutorial by motion nation to create this animation but i dont know why it didnt turn out smooth and has random wiggle in it. i tried to mess with the keyframes i thin its something to do with scale property. i didnt use camera i used key frames. please help me thanks

Idk if this is right sub reddit to be asking this but im super confused about how much i should be charging my mixed media animations. I feel like im overpricing and underpricing at the same time. Now is $50 for 10 seconds mixed media animation too much or less?

Hey everyone,

i’ve been working on a script for After Effects that solves a problem I kept running into:
replacing fonts in a project on multi comps at once instead of changing manually

What it does:

• Replace fonts by other fonts
• Replace only fonts that have specific names (example main title)
• Replace only font weight (changing all regular to bold)
• Replace only font size (change the selected fonts to a specific size)
• Replace only font color (change the selected fonts to a specific color)
• Replace missing fonts to a specific font all at once
• Show how many layers are found for each font and how many layers are affected after filtering

Quick demo:

The goal was to make workflow faster and more automated

I’d really appreciate feedback — what’s missing?

what would make this actually useful in your workflow?

Happy to answer questions or even add features based on suggestions.

Hello, I have programmed a middleware program that sits between ComfyUI and various front ends through plugins (the image retoucher and editor GIMP, Darktable and others).

I have just finished the first version of the Da Vinci Resolve plugin. Fair warning! It is probably quite buggy but it promises in time to allow users to inject VFX into their footage, create completely unique transitions, retouch select frames and create new reference shots for colour grading (thanks to seamless linkage between GIMP and DaVinci Resolve), and other new creative options.

For image generation, the GIMP plugin is already quite robust and capable. Yes I know, KritaAI also exists and is great. But my approach is a bit different in that Spellcaster is first and foremost a middleware system, which is why it is more modular and has a Silly Tavern plugin for instance, to auto-generated graphics for roleplay. Thanks to a lightweight server, the app allows for cross-app functions (e.g., from GIMP to Resolve or from Wizard Guild to GIMP, etc)

Speaking for myself, the GIMP plugin is now all I use to generate and edit with AI. It has proven to be a far superior interface than Comfy because the layer management system, along with SAM3 segmentation, allows for quicker retouching and easier deletion of imperfect generations.

If you are already using ComfyUI, Spellcaster will deploy your current models and workflows and there is an in-app editor and importer if you wish to use specific ones you have already built.

Check it out if you are interested - I work on it and improve it regularly. The app self-updates automatically so you always get the latest and least buggy version:

Importantly, if you do use use it, please report all bugs and suggestions:

The app is 100% free and open source. No prior experience with AI is required
