Added a bunch of new stuff to my tool lately, mainly on the kinetic side. How’s it turning out?

Here’s an easy way to spice up your house for Halloween with projection mapping

Its called Blackstar Lullaby. A lot is still up in the air, but I finally feel like it's starting to look the way I imagined.

This is one of the shots pulled apart a bit. Thought some of the screen work and the little layers behind it might be worth sharing.

Hey everyone! I'm developing a motion graphic for my school project, and I'm struggling to find a title that fits the story.

The project is about my personal struggle with AI dependency. I know relying on AI too much might affect my ability to think creatively, and I can see the signs, but I keep going back to it because it's convenient. Even when I realize something is wrong, I still can't seem to let go.

The story represents this as a never-ending loop of using AI, becoming dependent on it, realizing the consequences, and then using it again.

I'm looking for a title that's clever, slightly unsettling, and meaningful, possibly playing with the words AI and I or something like that.

I considered A[i]ddiction but it kinda sounds corny?

so yeah i'm open to any suggestions it would help a lot thanks.

Made for a laugh seeing all the AI fanboys swoon over tech that might rise up and kill us...

i got the idea at 7am in the morning and i had fun doing it, feedback always would be liked!

Hey guys, I hate to start with "I was frustrated with X so I made an app that Y", but that's exactly what I'm saying. Not selling anything though, I just need input. Made an app that's very motion graphics centered. I used Blender (yes, 3D app I know) for motion graphics for a decade in a company I worked for and also user AE for motion graphics for all other work I needed it for. So I needed something that will give me results faster, seeing how easy it is to achieve things with code now.

Made Kinektic (https://kinektic.com/). It blends familiar layers and comps workflow from AE and combines it with some concepts from Blender (modifiers in particular) and adds a whole bunch of coded procedural effect layers that stand on the stage on their own. Not a stack of effects applied to a solid layer. Getting neon light sign or digital glitching effect is one click. I keep adding effects and features weekly. Also very focused on text (auto fitting both single line and paragrapoh text, adding backdrop, unique per-character/word/line animators....).

It's all still in development, but it would be so awesome if you guys could try it and give me some feedback. Or sign up with your email to get updates on how it's progressing. Here, latest video about Parallax effect layer I added.

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!

Hey everyone, this is Tyler from FrameRate. We’ve just updated our Showcases feature, and I made a quick walkthrough to show how it works.

The idea is to put together a selection of work for a specific client or pitch and send one link. You can choose from six layouts, add your own branding, and arrange everything in a visual editor without building a separate website.

There are also controls for passwords, downloads, autoplay, and looping.

If you send someone a personal invitation, you can see whether they opened it, which videos they watched, and what they downloaded. Helpful when you’re wondering if anyone actually looked at the reel you sent.

Curious how you handle this now. Do you make a collection for each pitch, send your full portfolio, or just drop a few links in an email?

Would love feedback on the update, too.

Hi, could someone tell me how to create this type of animation?

i tried my best on this, i am still very unfamiliar with the 12 rules of animation, so i will practice that, i would love feedback!

In case you have better ideas, don't think twice: https://contra.com/community/topic/svgatorchallenge/guidelines

Hey everyone! I created this looping 3D animation and visual effect entirely in Blender.

Just wanted to share this little project here. Let me know what you guys think of the vibe and the animation! If you want to check out more of my work, you can find the full version and similar shorts on my YouTube channel (u/NRS_Music).

I kept losing time manually aligning duplicated/staggered layers etc... so I built a small free panel that does corner snapping and staircase auto-align in one click. It’s part of a bigger thing I’m working on but this piece is free and standalone.

Not trying to sell anything here, genuinely want to know if this solves a real problem for other people or if I’m the only one annoyed by this. Happy to share the link if anyone wants to try it, just tell me in the comments. PS: the tool is in beta test so you can expect some bugs

I have been learning motion design and decided to focus on SAAS. I've watched tons of YouTube tutorials and learned After Effects, but I'm struggling with one thing: creating something on my own.

Whenever I follow a tutorial, everything makes sense. But when I try to create something from scratch, my mind goes completely blank. I don't know how to come up with ideas or what I should actually be practising.

I'm figuring everything out on my own, and honestly, sometimes I feel pretty lost. I don't have any friends in this field to learn from or ask for advice, so it's hard to know if I'm even going in the right direction.

And then there's AI. Every time I open Instagram, I see reels saying AI will replace motion designers. It makes me question whether all the time I've spent learning After Effects will actually pay off.

I haven't even started my career, and it already feels like it's over.

I'd really appreciate some honest advice from people working in this field.

1. How do you develop your own ideas and creativity instead of constantly relying on tutorials?

2. What's the best way to practise and improve when you don't have anyone to guide you?

3. With AI advancing so quickly, is motion design still a good career to pursue, especially for someone focusing on SAAS?

I genuinely want to get good at this. I just feel stuck right now, and I'd love to hear how others dealt with this stage of learning.

this is the motion design i make by watching youtube tutorial .(can i get hired)

For the pro’s in here, do you use Opus 5.5 in your video workflows? If yes - how?

We’ve found that it lacks on music production and that it’s quite token hungry - especially given that we see little quality difference in medium vs xhigh effort
