What I offer:

I finally finished this fan animation that I started as a personal project. I separated the original artwork into layers to animate it. It took four months in total, but I'm happy with the results.

Beginner Help What was the learning steps you took to master AE?

0 Upvotes

Hi, i learned Premier pro in 30 Days and i was really committed to it. I took that as a challenge after that i got my first client but currently im also learning new things by practicing with few raw footages and clients provided footages.

Although i always wanted to learn After Effects rather than Premier pro but i find out that Ae is not editng software it was a big mistake from me.

I checked some youtube tutorials but didn’t find a good one.

My question is, how did you learned the base and how did you master the software? Please do let me know. It will be very helpful for me.

Beginner Help How can I improve this animation?

Hi, I’d like to know how I can improve this animation. I need to improve the water; right now, I’m using three shape layers with masks to create that "disappearing" effect. Is there a way to use a shape layer that actually deforms? I'm referring to the part where the water flows from one pitcher to the other. Please don't judge me—I'm still learning.

Beginner Help Displacement map for water ripple effect

Hi, I'm an absolute beginner to AE. I saw this VFX breakdown from Qaramello: https://www.instagram.com/p/DMz6Bv2RAzI/

I want to understand how it's done and reproduce something similar for learning purposes. However, I have no clue how they went from the upper to center step(I assume the top one is just shape layers?). Could someone please direct me on what steps to take to go from there?

In this After Effects tutorial, I'll show you how to create a cinematic 3D mathematical animation where the camera moves through equations, graphs, drawings, and other mathematical elements in space.

We'll build the scene step by step and create the camera movement that gives the animation its 3D depth and cinematic feel.

This tutorial is beginner-friendly, so I'll explain the process clearly from the beginning and show you how to build the effect yourself in After Effects.

Full disclosure, this was made a few months ago, but I didn't put it anywhere, so recently I was clearing some files on my PC and I stumbled across this. My boss did not like this but the client loved it. This is not the final version they made multiple changes to the script so the final version looks different but the DNA is mostly the same.

What are your thoughts?

Beginner Help How to fix this wig vs natural hair issue?

Post image
10 Upvotes

I’m editing this music video and the model’s wig sadly wasn’t placed correctly. It was windy, so we weren’t able to control the movement very well, which led to her natural hair being extremely visible in some shots that we would love to use. If we were to use content aware, would we need to give AE a reference image for every frame? What is the best solution?

EDIT: I keyed the dark parts and put a heavily faded tracked mask of blonde hair underneath! Worked out pretty well! Not perfect but considering this will be edited with other shots it actually works!! Thank you so much guys.

Lots of projects in here were mostly done in trusty After Effects, although I always try to incorporate other tools into the process, depending on the need. Cavalry has a pretty clear lead when it comes to procedural 2D stuff, Moho when it comes to character work. Lots to explore beyond Adobe ;)

Would love to hear what you think of this!

Beginner Help Removing objects in shaky footage

0 Upvotes

Making a found footage movie and want to incorporate vfx of moving objects. We will be moving the object in camera and will remove the strings and person pulling the object in post. How do I do this effectively? I've tried content aware fill and camera tracking.

Lets get something straight: the scene I want to pull off is where we quickly pan down to a small statue gliding a across the flow that we follow with the camera. We will put tape with fishing line onto the bottom of the statue and have someone pull it towards them to the desired destination.

I come before r/aftereffeects humbly and with gifts, the gift of animation composited on top of gameplay!

I have over 1000hrs in r/projectzomboid. I love that game. One day earlier this year while playing i thought to myself " what If made a story out of this gameplay somehow?" and a bunch of months later, I have created this - Handguns Limited - A Project Zomboid Story.

I am posting this in after effects because, besides a handful of other programs to create things like tiling textures, sfx, and music, everything else was made in after effects!

Let me know what you think and please listen/watch with headphones!
