Introducing Skew Pro: A groundbreaking way to animate in After Effects [Thread]

@eyedesyn @aerich It's even weirder because their firefly text-to-image generator has an upscale function for generated images. Let us do that to our own images, please!

I find it interesting that in the flurry of AI related Adobe MAX announcements that AI denoising and upscaling is seemingly not on the radar. Maybe it's not sexy for the general public, just more for artists?

Using the power of #AfterEffects text-animators, Gradient Stroke can do much more than a regular mask or shape layer. The preset comes pre-configured with 4 exciting animators to create cool effects! 100% free, check it out here :) aecartographer.gumroad.com/l/gradient-str…

@tinrochaok That's correct. The preset only works on Text layers.

@AeCartographer Thanks, it's great! maybe I misunderstood but it only worked when applying it on a text layer.

Manipulating a simple waveform with a mask in After Effects can be 🤩.

@verygoodmaps @EduardShading Your maps still rock! The knowledge you have of creating them hasn't gone to waste. A hillshade comprises lots of different things. You control color, tone, texture, and detail, all with an incredible artistic eye. As cool as Eduard is, your personal touch is special ✨️

As I just checked what @EduardShading can do these days, I can safely say my learned skill of making shaded relief maps has become a quite useless. That application can do what I can and more! Shame I can't use it with my old MacBook Pro. #maps

The @SchoolOfMotion Motion Mondays newsletter always brings the goods, love to see it in video form 👌

It’s MITCHELLS VS THE MACHINES meets THE EXORCIST… and why you’re going to want to hire animators for your robot prototypes.

@FakeGreenDress @KylasaurusRex Par-T-Rex 🎉🦖🥳

I know it's been a long NAB because I can't think of a punny description for this T-Rex party in After Effects Beta. @KylasaurusRex, help!

I actually made this with a script 😜 Wanted to see if an elegant solution already existed before I push this any further

@ae_screens Actual answer, the only AE effect to output a similar position distribution is Foam. It has options to repulse neighboring particles, but no way to get multiple colors. Random position expressions/wiggle will need tweaking so things don't overlap. A fancy expression might do it🧐

How do you make random patterns like this? Is there a trick or do you do it manually?

@ae_screens Drop some colourful post-it notes on the floor

@ECAbrams Maybe useful for designers who do a lot of print stuff, good reference for scale. Haven't seen a monitor like that though 🤔

I got a new monitor and it has little ticks on the frame for inches... Are people using their physical monitor as a ruler?

@ActionMovieKid @AdobeAE Love this liquid simulation effect using CC Time Blend FX twitter.com/AeCartographer…

@ale_sannazzaro Been asking myself the same question 🤓 I think yours are iconic though, very unique and cool

Why is picking new glasses so hard 😩🤓 should I go with a similar shape or try something new?

@lachamade 🤯 what about bezier paths? That'd be way more complicated, wouldn't it? 🤔

Just noticed that trimming the mask path and its vertex points in After Effects is actually doable. 🤯 It's not about trimming the stroke or point-on-path techniques. This can open up some interesting possibilities. #AfterEffects #MotionDesign

@zmillerTV @broadcastGEMs If you end up with two renders for 'light' and 'dark' anyway, you could have two comps with those names at the end and link the colour switch control to change based on comp name automatically. I do this all the time for left/right lowerthirds.

@broadcastGEMs also a possibility, but then you can't send both to render at the same time

Deliveries that require light and dark mode Animate in light mode, add all the colors to Essential Graphics and then change to the dark mode color palette in another comp through the EG panel. One animation now controls 2 outputs. Easy for updates when notes come through!

@ae_screens Looks like it might be related to macOS Sonoma: helpx.adobe.com/au/after-effec…

Anyone know what these errors are all about?
