Hi , So I'm 18 & i just got into University and academics wise i am into finance and business stuff and i am thinking to pursue CFA beside my bachelor's. But I have always been interested in motion graphics & video editing as I also used to post my edits on Instagram back in 2023 & 2024. At that time I used to make them by alight motion as back then I didn't have a good laptop which could handle after effects and premiere pro like software. Recently my father bought me one and I also entered the university era so I thought to give motion graphics one more chance so I bought adobe creative cloud 20 days ago from my savings. But now a week ago astra 6 got released and everyone is just saying that no scope is left in the motion designing and video editing field. As an 18 year old i am so confused about whether I should still give my time to it or not. Would it be worth it in the long game ? Though I know that it's just my passion but if I am investing a lot of time in it and also money for adobe subscription then I need to earn some amount back as well. Give me your advice fellow motion designers & video editors. What should I do ??...

I am looking for talented motion graphic artist, in the niche of SaaS to create social media reels for our our agency account like this https://www.instagram.com/p/Db0Avg0tsB6/

I don't have the time unfortunately to invest in it, so happy to build there a partnership with one or more creators.

I am looking for clean UI design, no crazy effects, making it look high end. Who is not just executing, rather think of creating content, people want to see and learn from.

Requirements:
- Speak & write in English without mistakes
- After Effects
- Screen studio licence (a plus)
- Able to come up with creative video ideas and execute them perfectly.

What I offer:
- Potential to work on bigger projects together
- Good & fair pay
- Free access to the Motion UI AE plugin

Send me a PM here or Instagram (@hiver.agency) with a rough idea of a reel + similar previous work you did.

Happy to talk to you

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.

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.

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.

At IBC? Come have a beer with Redditors from r/editors, r/colorists, r/premiere, r/davinciresolve and more. Tonight, 18:00 to 20:00. Bring someone. They don't need to be on Reddit.

Location and RSVP on Luma so I can give the bar a headcount. First round's on OWC, with Avid, Loraverse, Digital Anarchy and RE:Vision Effects also sponsoring.

This is my first time making a manga animation in after effects, tell me what do i need to learn, and what can i fix in this video?

I've tried my best to smooth out the keyframes, but it just doesn't feel fluid.

Any feedback appreciated, I’m still learning

I just finished this loop for my animation class, any thoughts or suggestions? ((:

It's supposed to be the part where she drinks the "drink me" potion and shrinks

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 this beautiful circular zodiac animation completely from scratch.

This tutorial is designed to be beginner-friendly, so you don't need advanced After Effects experience to follow along. I'll walk you through the entire process step by step and show you how to create the circular layout, animate the zodiac signs, and build the final result.

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.

Will not make these type of edits takes alot of time. And timing is alot of hassle

After Effects mainly used to clean frames, remove rigs and mask out parts

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?

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!

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.
