A motion design piece for DEP, exploring its visual identity through animated brand elements, including a box, a roll-up banner, and a book with turning pages.
The page transitions form the letter E from the DEP logo, bringing the brand identity into the animation itself.

We’ve been working on ZELLIGE, an After Effects panel that turns footage into grid-based visuals using luminance and texture.
You can create different looks by droping the image/video into brightness zones, combining textures, and animating the grid based on the footage.
Here’s a short promo showing some of the results you can create with it.
Would love to hear what you think!

Created this small, loopable animation in a line-art style (self produced music).

When you see a title sequence, like a Vox transition, or edit that blows you away, what do you do next? Screenshot it, scrub at 0.25x, try to recreate it, save it and forget?

Curious what your real process looks like, and what's the most annoying part of it!

Hi there! Made a cloth tear sim in Blender. I have used a combination of shape keys and two cloth sims to create it. First sim was used to bake the motion of the cloth being pushed away by the ball as a shape key. Then I made cuts and split the geometry of the cloth where it would tear apart. For the second sim, I set it up to start on the last+1 frame of the shape key.

Quite a tricky and not ideal workflow for this effect. Saw that this is much easier now with the new simulation geo nodes in Blender, so I should give it a try for sure.

I just delivered a Client work which was an Ad for a branding studio. They approved the edit and are also asking for the open source file? As a motion designer, do you share them or not, and like if you do , You charge and extra? Cause handing it over feels like I'm just giving away my expertise and they can prolly use it to alter for other videos which is future work gone for me. What's your thoughts on these guys?

We’re excited to host the online premiere of Distance, the new short film from Ordinary Folk, on Wednesday, October 21 at 5 PM PT / 8 PM ET.

Six years in the making, with more than 900 hand-painted frames, it’s written by Nate DiMeo of The Memory Palace, with original music by Ambrose Yu. The film recently won Best Canadian Short at SPARK Animation 2026.

Mark your calendar. We can’t wait to share this one with you.

Ou trouver une application qui transforme des images en vidéos de présentation à partir d’un prompt gratuitement ?

Edit: to be clear, these are unpolished first drafts, one sentence each, no tweaking. The post is about being able to ask for any transition at all, not about these ones being good.

Six shots, six transitions, about 25 seconds. I didn't pick any transition from a list, because there is no list. Each one was described in a sentence, the sentence is on screen while it plays:

• "burn it into the next shot"
• "flood the frame, then drain it onto the next one"
• "lightning strike on the alert button"
• "shatter it like glass"
• "bubble-tea bubbles that pop into the next shot"
• "scan it into dots, rebuild the next shot from them"

What happens behind it: an AI agent writes each transition as a small GPU shader, and the editor treats it as a clip on the timeline, over the cut. The cuts, the clip order and the captions were placed the same way, by prompt. Once a transition exists you get normal controls for it (origin point, intensity, colour), so you can tweak it by hand afterwards.

Full disclosure, it's my project: OpenScreen, a free and open source screen recorder and editor. The shots are screen recordings because that's what the app is for, but the transitions don't care what's under them.

Some limits, honestly:

• A transition only sees the current frame. So they go through something (ash, water, a white flash, milky bubbles) rather than blending two shots directly.
• Heavier effects are fine for a 2 s transition, less so across a whole video.

I'd love to hear which transitions you always wished your editor had. That's the kind of thing I want to throw at it next.

i want to learn this kind of animation creation, i actually don't know which tool they used to create this. If any body knows how to create this animation creation video please help me out though this

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

In the age of AI, I just dont find enjoyment in creative work anymore. It feels like a waste of time just knowing that an LMM could output the majority of my work, when prompted right in an instant. Makes it hard for me to enjoy the traditional artistic process anymore knowing im just doing it "for the sake of art" as opposed to it being actually truly necessary anymore.

Ive been editing videos since 2009, and got into motion design in 2011. Have a big time job with a big time agency, and with the forced implementation of AI, I have 0 sense of fulfillment in my work anymore.

I loved the technical part of figuring out how to make something in AE, C4D, Premiere, etc. And that all is just going away. I can see the writing on the wall. Even though its just a tool for now, I know that AIs progression in this field will ultimately lead to a dead end for this to be a viable career option.

So im thinking of a career change, or at least want to be prepared to pivot when that time inevitably comes.

I have skills in video editing, video camera operation and a deep technical knowledge of how they work, and extensive experience in television production, and a bit of broadcast engineering.

Trouble is, I can see AI eventually replacing all of those professions.

My whole life I was told to get a degree and study something useful, and now, just a mere 8 years into my career, early 30's, it's crumbling before me.

None of the trades interest me in the slightest (construction, plumbing, welding, etc), but it seems those jobs are the only ones completely safe from AI....

So my question is for those entering the peak years of your career phase (30's), having to face this grim future of our creative industry we spent our whole education years studying, what are your plans?

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

so i made this video and its not perfect cus its the first draft, i made it in 6 days and will do the sfx today but i need some help with design and stuff so if any of you who does saas please dm

We’ve been working on Liquid Bubble, a native After Effects effect for creating liquid-glass refraction.
The refraction gets stronger near the edges, stretching the image and creating a reflected look around the glass boundary. It works on adjustment layers, so it can refract everything underneath, and you can also use custom shapes.

Would love to hear what you think!

I made this Interactive App Rating Popup Card for Lottie Creator Certification! ✨

It features four animated emoji reactions and demonstrates the use of State Machine. The goal was to make rating an app feel more fun, interactive, and responsive.

Built with LottieFiles Creator, this project was a great opportunity to explore interactive motion design and see how state machines can bring UI elements to life.

So I was learning After effects 3rd Camera

And almost everyone were parenting camera to null I mean I know Parenting camera to null can let us Views layer from different angles but what's the not point of parenting camera to null, If null alone can let us view lyr from different angles
