^and here's my "music" one...
From what I remember I tried to match the different beats of the song to the different colors in the "blob" of particles, but it still looked too..."blooby"?
not to mention doing that "glitch" effect on the 27 logo at the end credits "by hand", eons before that glitch effect was common in many youtube videos today
- the music is from Silent Strike, one of our best electronic music composers https://silentstrike…grafician
- the 27 logo and all the end credits were designed and brought from Ai as I couldn't figure out how to make those directly in Ae back then [silly face]grafician
- funny how time flies so fast, this was 2009, more than a decade ago, if I'd sticked with learning more Ae back then...grafician
- I'm not sure if this was around in 2009 but look into this. https://www.youtube.…CyBrainX

Tony Babel does some really amazing 2D animations.
- So basically frame-by-frame animation?grafician
- Pretty sure you can do this in Animate and also Photoshopgrafician
- but your too busy on QBN to do any of that shitGuyFawkes
- is this the guy that does the in a nutshell videos?_niko
- ^ Kurzgesagt has tutorials on i think skillshare, or one of those sitesGuyFawkes
- you do that in 2.6mins with Moho. Proper rigging, onion skin, smart bones etc etc. Why use a comp tool instead of animation tool?shapesalad
- ^not to mention Roughanimator and Procreate apps on an ipad prografician
- ^^ have you looked at his Instagram vids... he does all this after effects that’s quite impressive. This is the After Effects thread last I checked.Ramanisky2
- Sure Rama, all we're saying is the guy should learn to use other tools to create his stuff faster and more efficientlygrafician
- Cheers Ram. Lol at these comments.PhanLo

someone was asking about an aftereffects alternative:
- Interesting, but that looks more like an alternative to Animate than After Effects.CyBrainX
- ^+GuyFawkes
- ^+ so fuggedaboutit if you work in film or TV. I wonder how Aus internet would fare even if it could motion track a 4K video...MrT
- Looks great for animations! I can quit Adobe again, thanks!grafician

- click the arrow left of the chrono on Audio levels?ApeRobot
- ^ https://i.imgur.com/…Hayzilla
- Finally found the solution...
https://community.ad…Hayzilla - bottom left of your screen, three tiny icons, switch them on.shapesalad
- Click O P Q as seen here: https://www.agitrain…shapesalad
- in your image, Audio Levels - you need to turn on the UI, to see the number for audio level to then adjust it.shapesalad

Anyone know of a mac script/app that will pause Spotify while AE does a ram preview playback?
- https://www.qbn.com/…YakuZoku
- ^ That's a different kind of nope.CyBrainX

@shapesalad, I'd look into BetterTouchTool for something like this. You can map custom keyboard shortcuts and macros for just about anything. Then you setup a shortcut so Numpad-0 (or whatever) sends "Pause" to Spotify, and "Ram Preview" to AE.
I'm not sure about sending "Play" back to Spotify when the ram preview is over though...

- I'm not remotely interested in this effect, but god damn TL is seriously talented.garbage
- ++++++PhanLo
- Really helpful stuff in there.PhanLo
- YesYakuZoku
- That Calculations effect on adjustment layers is so good for non destructive type stuff. So many optionsPhanLo
- All these years I never used the Calculations Effect. This one is a keeper.CyBrainX

I received a project from another designer that is for some simple lower third animations. I need to change the color of a rectangle that slides in from lower left, but when I drill down into it, the RGB values are listed as:
R: 7,068
G: 10,666
B: 29,041I need to enter a three digit value as per brand guidelines, but when I do, it shows the wrong color. What is going on with those values in the thousands? Please and thanks for any ideas here.
- Try changing the bit depth to 8 in your project's settingsspl33nidoru
- That's it - thanks homiestoplying
- And then send a kind email to whoever sent you that shit, lest it repeat itself.garbage
- Make sure you can see the 'Info' panel (looks similar to usual adobe one), Click the hamburger menu, choose8-bpc.shapesalad
- Don't change actual project depth as that will mess up blending modes and introduce banding to gradients.shapesalad
- Thanks shape...stoplying
- Good call shape, from the project description I assumed these problems wouldn't occur, but they mightspl33nidoru
- No worries - I had this problem myself, took me ages to find where to change the setting, hidden away in the info panel...shapesalad
- Yes, DON'T change the bit depth.
Use hex numbers for the brand color.CyBrainX

-- zero usable.shapesalad
- Those can be adapted into nicer things. I've used a few of them as a starting point.CyBrainX

- Haha, used this effect for a set of ads a couple weeks agosausages
- the blood drip is smart, too https://www.youtube.…imbecile
- ^yep, that's a really useful one. Loads of good tipsPhanLo

I hate nulls and solids so I've gotten used to using shape layers instead. This guy had a bigger vendetta against them and ambition to match.

An alternative was launched today

- That's a lot more 3D than After Effects but this is quite impressive.CyBrainX
- I spoke too soon but was thinking of the earlier scenes.CyBrainX
- Yeah, Nicely done.Ramanisky2

- AI plugin, think it's an early modelPhanLo
- annoyingly only works with the stock shots you see in the videowoowahesque
- Ah, that's a shame, I reckon it won't be too long before it's fully integrated into AEPhanLo
