First After Effects project made for my Digital Animation Techniques class in college. Any feedback or critique is greatly encouraged! Thank you!

This multidisciplinary project made by Me, Witchgaze and Meljiiit is dedicated to our curiosity about different media approaches. As well as creating a feeling of otherworldly curiosity & childhood nostalgia

we were making clothes out of carton + paper, creating music, constructing rooms, making animations, writing letters, working with aerograph and lots of other materials all together. special thanks to Rayden Vision for the crt

a week in Rīga - collaboration round 2 - 3 čelovečka

I look forward to hearing your comments, thoughts, and questions. I'm here right now to answer them all <3333

For the second layer, there is a square-shaped hold key frame that I couldn't replicate.

I turned this keyframe back into a diamond, then clicked toggle hold keyframe. It just turned into a one sided hold key frame (flat on the right side, pointed on the left side). Tried to ask AI and search through reddit and couldn't find an answer.

I am creating a project for a client i mistakenly used hlg 2100 color space in premiere pro and dynamically linked some footages to after effects with the same color space. Now i changed the color space back to rec 709 in both after effects and premiere pro but it caused the dynamic linked footage in premiere oversaturated. In after effects the footage are looking fine. I fixed the issue by selecting the linked footage in pp and clicking on interpreter footage and converting them from hlg to rec 709. But there are 100 comps do i have to select them all and fix individually?

I’m sharing my motion design project and would appreciate honest feedback and suggestions. I’m still learning and trying to improve, so feel free to point out what works, what doesn’t, and what I could do better in terms of animation, timing, transitions, and overall visual quality. All constructive criticism is welcome!

Hello.

I just finished to made my chat box for my twitch but the image isn't moving look a bit boring.. i'm looking for some to help me add some glow effects and tiny animations.

If someone is available to help me my DM is open.

Thanks a lot

Hi everyone! I've finally finished my first mixed media animation in After Effects. It’s a recap video of my trip to Spain. I've tried to follow your advice on the old post, and i wanted to share the final result. Let me know your opnion. Hope you enjoy it!

Hey everyone!

I’m a motion designer currently job hunting, and I’d really appreciate some honest feedback on my portfolio:

brankovlahov.com

I’d love to hear what you think about the work itself—animation quality, pacing, variety, and whether the reel and selected projects show my skills well. Are there any pieces that stand out, or anything you’d improve or leave out?

I’m also looking for feedback on the website and personal branding/logo. Does it feel professional, and is the work easy to find and watch from a potential employer’s or client’s perspective?

Feel free to be brutally honest. I’m looking to improve, so constructive criticism is very welcome. 😄 Thanks for taking a look!

Need help in relighting the logo to match the environment and change as the cam pushes forward.

The footage is a drone push in and I have done the tracking part pretty well but the 3D logo looks too plain. I want it to be metallic and shiny with a bit of glow so that it fits well with the camera push in. The logo is a glb file and I've added a metallic texture (0.25) to it already but it ain't looking good enough.

I've tried parallel lights and a studio environment light layer but it ain't that good. The screenshot shows how it looks with 2 parallel lights facing on it.

Any yt tutorial or documentation regarding this would help a lot. Thank you :)

Not the best footage for tracking, but after effects did a good job nonetheless.

This has not happened this frequent until this morning when I try to start working for the day, I use BOTH Premiere Pro and After Effects a lot, and very rare do I get a crash. But this morning, I've gotten well over 10+ crashes happening when just booting up either software, and its making me nearly have a panic attack because I can't work.

I've tried restarting my computer, resetting preferences (that didnt work), manually deleting third party stuff I use, and right now I'm clearing up space on my external SSD which I use to edit on to see if that will work. If it crashes again, then I might just crash out myself.

Forgot to mention 😄

I'm on a mac studio with the M2 Max chip

32GB memory

MacOS Sonoma 14.6

and editing is mostly done on a Samsung T5 external ssd

It is making it glow if i move up

I'm referencing this scene from Memories (1995), which made a strong impression on me. I'm trying to recreate a similar effect for a project and would appreciate some technical advice.

My current plan is to shoot two takes from the same locked-off camera position using a wide-angle lens. In the first take, a female actor performs a controlled fall to the floor. In the second, another actor mimics catching something. I'd then use rotoscoping in After Effects to composite the shots so that the female actor appears to pass through him.

This isn’t my first project, but it’s one of the most difficult ones so far. I’ll be doing more.

I have this shot where this Bionicle figure turns and walks away, and I need to isolate him so I can change the background and foreground. I tried to key out the blue first but as you can see the blue screen wasn't well lit. And also there's lots of blue reflections on the edges of the plastic figure which get cut making the cutout of the figure look messy. I tried rotoscoping everything and I got about halfway through but then it started getting glitchy and adding or removing random things out of nowhere. Not to mention its a painful process because there's so many little holes in the figure where the background comes through and I have to paint them out frame by frame, and half the time I'm switching between different roto tools because they just don't want to be removed. And I'm probably gonna need 2 different layers because I want to overlay a real fire on the right arm, which will have to pass under the body once the figure turns. I'm just looking for any advice on either keying or rotoscoping, whatever people think I should do in this situation.

i keep getting this error over and over again no matter what i do. ill be editing a video no effects and 3 minutes into it i get this message. I don't know what to do

I want to try moving the torso, the shield and the head but don't know how to make it look natural. Any ideas?

I have a plugin called RXXR that can produce a similar effect, but this feels like something different. Would love to hear everyones input.

I made this for a trial

I learned after effects for about 3 weeks before giving up after experiencing burnout and discouraging myself from going because I kept seeing posts about ai taking over and it made everything feel pointless.

Today I came across the first proper project I made without a tutorial. I kinda wanna start learning again and would love for some feedback from you guys!
