New free plugin for smoothly animating keyframes in Premiere (bezier curves)

For a while now I've been using a plugin called Smoothify in Premiere, for animating between keyframes smoothly.

But it got bought out a couple months ago. Some parasitic company made it so the only way to use it is to use their horrible bloatware app, and in the process destroying my workflow. This annoyed me so much that I decided to make my own plugin, and give it away to everyone for free.

It's called OpenCurve, and you can grab it here: https://github.com/fayewave/OpenCurve/

  • Has all the features of Smoothify and more
  • Less buggy than Smoothify
  • Full undo/redo support
  • Save/load presets
  • Works on Premiere 2024 and up (I have only tested it fully on 25 and 26 currently)
  • Spell Book support
  • No logins, no purchases, no annoying garbage
  • Customizable themes :)

Please give it a go and let me know if you have any issues!! it has a full update system so if there are any bugs ill be patching them often along with any new features i come up with

Two-channel edit vs split-screen — when does it actually add meaning.

I’m working on a short film built around a monologue and considering a two-channel structure.

I’m not interested in split-screen as a visual trick, but more as a way to create tension between two images.

The problem I keep running into:

• if both images illustrate the same thing → it feels dead

• if they’re too unrelated → it feels random

I’m trying to find that point where the second image actually reframes the first.

Do you have examples where this really works?

Or is this something that usually ends up feeling forced?

This is more about editing language and structure, not a technical issue.

Why does getting footage from my phone to my PC feel like it takes longer than actually filming?

Anyone else find the gap between filming on your phone and actually editing on PC a massive time killer? I'm talking transferring 4K files, waiting for them to copy over, then your timeline stuttering because the files are too heavy. By the time I'm ready to actually edit I've already lost motivation. Is this just me or does everyone deal with this? What do you do to speed it up?

Recutting feature film footage

I see all sorts of remix/sizzle videos on social media that feature high resolution feature film scenes - some from movies still in theaters.

Beyond ripping trailers from YouTube, how are they sourcing the quality, seemingly uncut footage from these movies? Any recommendations for simple ways to get editable full movie files?
