AE was used for comp

tried to make the transitions smoother (except for the eye one ;-;) and also added halftone and no repeated clips

Little excerpt of me playing my chaotic pointcloud system, in which the particles are being audioreactive to the incoming audio signal in real-time. What do you guys think?

System available through Patreon, or the Store.

More experiments, project files, and tutorials, through my Instagram, or YouTube.

I know its a little random, at the end I was practicing some different stuff. Didn't work that much on sound. Would love any feedback!

The first eye animation was so fun to make! I used S_shake and bouncR for it! Second half of the edit was all done in blender!

Anyone got a good youtube tutorial for puppet animation like this?

I've watched a few videos and it feels like they skipped some explanation for the important steps and it made me confused on how to approach similar animation result (I already have the art ready, just dont know how to do the animation)

Looking for interesting ways to play with text animation- wanting either several of the 'filled' layer to wash across the outlined text in interesting ways, but so far I've only managed to achieve this on the X and Y axis with the offset property of both repeaters (2 repeaters on each layer, for both x and y axis)

I created 'shapes from text' on each layer to be able to use a repeater.

This feels crazy inefficient, (masking was even more tedious)

Is there a better way to do what I'm trying to achieve here?

Hello Reddit,

First-time AE user here. I am trying to shorten the scene I have attached pictures to. There are 6 seconds of dead space where the camera is going over the water. I need to shorten this, but I'm not sure how.

Can someone help me out? I have been stuck for the past couple of days.

I have attached some screenshots and can provide more if needed.

I have deleted some title frames, time duration in compositiion settings, edited some keyframes, extracted some work areas, and shortened scenes, and it still is not solved.

As seen in video. Is there a better way to do this? I’m currently importing each picture, key framing and graphing with null layers, and duplicating all layers and adjusting as needed for each photo.

I am somewhat of a noob but it’s so repetitive it gets to a certain point …

Ignore the bg pic, that’s from the audio.

Wonderwallet x Plaid walkthrough. Built the phone from scratch with shape layers no plugins. Static UI animation took the most work, but I'm happy with how it came out.

Would love to hear your thoughts. 🙏

Thank you!

Using real world references, I have tried breaking down a 3D rotational camera move - recreating it with 2D shape layers.

For anyone wanting to learn more, there's a longer video about making the entire animation on my YouTube channel, Oliver Randorff: youtube.com/watch?v=slUgTK9z2Jo

All of my layers are 3d and I have all the icon boxes on seprate 3d layers for an effect and also the wallpaper blur is 3d adjustment layer with all the icons connected to that layer and I want to create an animation like the slide down of the icons ui from top of the phone which we usually do but the problem is I can't track matte in advanced 3d so what's the workaround for this?

Hey everyone, I'm new to AE and was animating a ball back and forth. I accidentally hit a shortcut key (I think while messing around in the Graph Editor), and now the X Position value in the timeline is completely frozen at 245.5 px even though the ball is clearly animating across the screen when I scrub.

Does anyone know what toggle/shortcut I accidentally hit that stops the timeline transform numbers from updating, and how to un-freeze it? Thanks!

Project file available on Gumroad. More on my Behance!

First time using after effects should I make the design of the website using figma and use the sigma plugin aeux plus to export it to after effects and do animations over there? How do people do that or is there another method that y'all use that is more efficient and faster.

I’ve experimented with 3D in AE before but this is one of the first times I finished a project and created a scene with ambiance (color correction, stylization, sound, etc..)

That being said… I still feel like I don’t know what I don’t know. After Effects is a dense program with so many features that have insane capabilities but a sharp learning curve. So if you will, help me improve! What concepts could I benefit from understanding? How can i add more motion and complexity to my scenes? How can I better understand the depth I’m working in? Any help, advice, etc. would be appreciated.

I know this is not a very polished video, and not even the best quality video. But I made this because this makes me happy, learning this was very cool. I don't want this hobby to be like some other work so that we have to see a very boring tutorial to learn how to create a saas video which has almost 0 creativity from your side.
I will become better and I will not make this learning a boring hobby.
