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.

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.

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.

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

Im a skilled video/ projection artist, my work is mainly personal and experimental projects that I do in a fine art context. My work usually “wows” people , but it doesn’t pay much.

I’d like to think there’s a world where I could be hired by local a/v production companies to design motion graphics/ projection mapping for their clients. I live in a city that has lots of conventions and big corporate events, so there are quite a few of the these a/v companies.

What I want to know, do these types of jobs exist? Who does the designing usually for projected motion graphics at events?

A few things-
I’m 100% happy with boring corporate work.

I’ve tried to shop myself around for this sort of thing, where I’d be using my own equipment, or renting it. But my projectors can’t compete with the professionals. And I found my budget would be drained by the cost of rental equipment. So I want to work with an a/v company that has their own gear.

Motion designer from Mexico here. I've been building this panel for the last few months: Text Morph, speed curves, one-click expressions, shape morph and more, each with an animated preview on hover.

There's a free version and I'm still adding tools. What would you want in a panel like this?

I made this for a trial

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.

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

Update: TV style is now selectable, and the web demo timeline now matches the desktop version.

​Just wrapped up building the postprocessing pipeline for the Motion+ (a web app I'm building) rendering engine.

​Here’s a look at a scene created and rendered entirely with Motion+ 😊

​How’s it looking? Let me know what you think!
