Finally got to design a retrofuturistic OS interface 🖤 (AE + C4D)

@obaidnadeem_ You'd need to edit the videos for pacing first and then have some composition experience to guide the viewer into what they need to see in each shot, that's the part that makes it feel intentional.

@megxwayne So you're telling me if there'd be web app where you can upload videos, tilt then in 3D axis, give a little progressive blur and vignette, that should be it? Atleast for my personal demos.

I love these kinds of product demos, but as a design engineer, I don't have time to recreate this all in After Effects after I've already spent hours coding it. There should be a quicker way to do this.

@yeabu369 @linear Because of her impeccable skincare routine

@linear why do you look AI generated?

A few tips on how to oversee agent work inside your Linear workspace:

@callmejohnnie @linear It’s like we collabed again 🫶

@Xuuuuuuuuuuun @xin_pai88825 Yes all AE

有人想知道怎么做出这种效果不，我感觉可以出一期教程给大家。小白简单向的

@waldobroodryk I have! I was on the Keynote production for the announcement of the Spline element launching in Webflow.

@megxwayne Meg, this is so clean!!! When are you going to try Spline or Hana? Copy paste vectors from Figma and go to town 😎 Full vector, always ✨

A few hero shots for the new Linear feature pages (After Effects, all vector)

@LewisMenelaws Notice how I had to specify it was made using a human controled tool?

@megxwayne …and it only took 1 prompt! Looks seriously incredible. Crazy this can be done in AE.

@au_stin Hahaha I've seen a few similar videos since the Dashboards video and let's just say the UI needs to look good for those to work 💅

@megxwayne these are so f*cking good how many vps of marketing are blasting their teams right now with a “can we do this?” message

@unrootdesign This edit only shows 6 shots, there's 14 total and they took about 8-9 days.

@megxwayne Looks clean! How long it took you to make this animation? 🙂

@agapov @nikhilville @steve_tenuto I am 100% nuts already and there's no going back

@megxwayne @nikhilville @steve_tenuto Thank you so much for sharing the behind-the-scenes. So much hard work here, I'd go nuts dealing with so many layers.

@Ymi_Yugy In this case I was matching simplified illustrations from the homepage. Other reason is that we use the product "for real" so our internal labeling isn't necessarily good for marketing clarity. But when appropriate I typically use screen recordings because it's faster.

@megxwayne Stupid question, why AE instead of the the actual product?

@BrosnanHoban That’s actually why I went vector, cause huge pngs can take longer. At 1920p (resized from 4k in the render process) it was between 5 and 15min at 24fps for 15-17 sec. (The 15 min one was using repeaters which I suspect drag it)

@megxwayne insane precision how's the render time?

@StormCat5_ @Sasshi Damnit I’ve been waiting for snow for 3 months and still nothing

@Sasshi Seattle will be primarily rain…. This model always overdoes snow there. The snow will be primarily limited to the mountains

🚨 The Western US is about to get RAILED by Snow. This begins early next week as an Atmospheric River of Moisture absolutely BLASTS the West Coast. ❄️ The heaviest Snow will fall in the Sierra Nevada, where up to 100 inches, nearly 8 FEET, could pile up mainly Monday through Wednesday. 🏔️ Heavy Snow is also likely in the Rockies, where places like Colorado and Utah have been STARVED for Snow. Multiple waves of Moisture could bring 1 Foot or more over several days. 🏔️ The Cascades get in on the action too, with up to 1 Foot or more possible. Some Snow arrives this weekend, with another stronger round next Wednesday. 🌧️ Lower elevations in California and Washington could see Flooding Rain, with localized totals pushing 3 inches or more. Overall, this is WELCOME news for our West Coast brotheren who have seen very little Snow over the past month. 👊 Enjoy the Snow and Rain, my brotheren.

@dionzemzem Probably 8-9 days? There’s 14 shots total

@megxwayne Super cool, how long do you think you worked on the animations?

@nikhilville @steve_tenuto Oh it pisses me off to no end that we can't just group stuff and collapse layers like in other tools. Either that or keyframe parenting/linking where you could have a keyframe in a pre-comp that always moves with the parent in another.

Solid!! Appreciate the breakdown. I feel like sometimes when I pre compose I get frustrated in having to jump back in to animate but not able to see how it looks in the full shot. There isn’t a solution to this necessarily right except toggling between each window back and forth? This may be a workflow issue on my part too haha

@hugorcd All I'm gonna say is that it takes a few years to not hate poor After Effects. Like a really messed up cat you found on the street that has the potential to be a great companion.

@megxwayne F**k I can't, I love my team too much. I'll have to open AE and try to understand this mysterious black magic 🫠

@nikhilville @steve_tenuto I hate having a ton of layers so I pre-compose everything that I don't need to keyframe precisely with other layers, then this whole comp goes in the comp with the camera. On average I have at least 3 levels of nesting per shot.

@megxwayne @steve_tenuto holy 👀 Can we see the layer set up? I'm curious how much you do or don't pre compose for each shot

@hugorcd You may check our careers page and (after only a few convenient steps) have unlimited access to my services 🪿

@megxwayne Where do I enter my credit card information to get the same thing? 😭🙏

@steve_tenuto Yes! I used Overlord to batch import icons + text but yeah no screen recordings in those

@megxwayne Beautiful! By "all vector" do you mean you're making everything as AE shape layers?
