@Filmbot And: “It was just a test.”

Let’s see how they spin the yarn on that scraped data. Wanna take bets on “but the other guys did it too”

@broadcastGEMs Yes. Perfect example. Thanks.

@animotion_nl This? snopes.com/fact-check/sca…

Hi #postchat friends. Who can share a link to morph cut or fluid morph fails that actually aired. I recall one where a person behind a reporter just vanishes in thin air, but can't find it anymore. Thanks!

Fun quick AE trick: use the Time Displace effect to turn a simple text move into something more interesting. Here Time Displace is linked to a Gradient Ramp, with added Tint + CC Composite of the original on top, all time-displaced a second time with different settings.

@FakeGreenDress Yes. That works for the settings. You confirm one needs to go to comp settings to find details. I’ll stop hunting for a quicker way. Thanks.

@animotion_nl That's been replaced by the quick-switch menu at the bottom of the comp window. For the detailed comparison, you have to open comp settings.

@FakeGreenDress Keyboard shortcut to get to the 3D Renderer tab in Sequence Settings please? Previous you could click on the button in top right. Gone now. Now I go via sequence settings(CMD/CRL+K). Prep'ing a course on 3D in Ae and am missing that button. (Tried modifiers..)

Adobe publishes Premiere Pro 24.4. Many changes for just a "dot" release:

Good time to update #aftereffects:

@coreysfrost Dm send

Thanks so much to everyone who applied and shared this position! Really appreciated!! At this time, I’ve received a ton of resumes that I’m looking thru and will turn off DMs. But I will continue to hold all resumes for future opportunities that pop up and share here too!

@Beatlejase @Cimcie That is so awesome!

Things that bring a smile to your face: random follower/fan sends pics of looking at vinyl and stumbles across one that I worked on (and a career high moment for me too). Cc: @Cimcie #johndenver #rogernichols

#aftereffects tip:

@FakeGreenDress Great step in your career @hranimation! Congrats 🍻!! Looking forward to see the new demo materials that you’ll create. (And hope these will be useful for non German speakers too 😉)

So excited to have Robert joining the Adobe team!

@5tu To bad. In Europe Treads is still not available. ☹️

This is a great tutorial on how to use the new Roto Brush. Some good quick creative ideas! youtube.com/watch?v=Tr1YIX…

Don't worry about having your graphic the same size as the corner pin plane. The script I'm calling Power Pin Plus Calculate for @AdobeAE will dial in the correct aspect ratio and give you options to further scale and offset along the corner pin plane.

@AdobeAE tip!

Going to be very handy. But shouldn't this be implemented by Adobe?

@Beatlejase Thanks for your insights. Now I have to see it :-P. Als a light Bowie fan (our dog has his name), and a music documentary affectionado, I want to see the old/restored footage. And a bad movie can teach me (and my students) a lot. Often more then a good one.

This weekend I watched the recent David Bowie documentary/film 'Moonage Daydream'. As a long time Bowie fan (and slight Bowie historian/nerd) I could barely make my way through (in fact, I stopped w/15 minutes to go; I couldn't take another second). No sense of chronology whatsoever. This was strike one. Then, a repeated theme of referencing a period of time (say, 1973 Ziggy or '75 Fame-era) but playing music of '77/'78/'80. Strike two. This is what kills a documentary for me, instantly. And was there a story? Was there a point? David changed a lot. That came thru (and that's also, even to the casual fan, obvious) but after 2+ hours (and I didn't finish) I don't know what they were trying to say. Strike three. I had read so many great things about this pic and had high hopes. I found it exhausting, frustrating and pointless. Side note: the restored archival footage (particularly concert footage from late 70s, along with a handful of familiar BBC interviews) has been cleaned and preserved to perfection. Some of the footage looked so clean and modern, you really felt immersed by it; so there was that. C- as a film, and that's being generous.

This changes the way I use and teach After Effects:

C, most logical/natural and works with fat fingers on touch devices.
