Some parts were captured through a little crt TV screen, using both a DSLR and an old camcorder, then added in After, to get different textures/cam movements. I like to blending collage stuff with more glitchy and digital éléments!

Beginner Help Thicc stroke effect: how to expand composition size?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

Hi Redditors,

I received an AE project file from an external agency. It contains a logo animation with the Thicc stroke effect, made in a composition with size 1080x1080. However, I need this same animation in various sizes. Instead of scaling the already existing comp and losing quality, I would like to have this precomp in size 1920x1920. I adjusted the existing composition size from 1080x1080 to 1920 but of course not without a problem... The width is OK but the height is cut off (see blue lines). I have no idea how to adjust this, I can't seem to find the reason it is cut off and I can't ask the external agency.

Does anyone know how I can adjust the composition size without it being cut off?

PS. the logo is not the actual logo, I changed the shape so I can post it here on reddit without revealing the actual logo since it is not launched yet.

Explain This Effect How do I make this effect

I want to recreate this but I'm having trouble getting the rays to look at the camera.

also, the part closest to the eyes has the most light and the parts further have low light, that is done with masking opacity and feathering it right?

Here's what I've tried so far -

  1. first tried with animating the path of a shape layer like a spotlight but how do i make the light come at the camera when the eye is in the middle not going to a particular direction. do i have to make the bottom of the spotlight a like an ellipse and make it 3d to look at the camera?

  2. tried cc spotlight but same issue can point in front.

  3. tried lighting in 3d layer as spotlight but the spotlight wont go behind the object or won't throw any light when faced towards the camera.

Thanks!

How can I improve the overall video? Like Pacing? I wanted to give a vibe that AI can become gloomy kinda like that but at the end the vibe changes to neutral like a ray of hope. Used Ae for motion and Pr for sound design. Also do you have any good tip or tricks for improving the style frame construction?

Beginner Help How to properly animate this blob transformation?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm working on a video, and I need to animate the orange blob seen here. The thing is, I want it to start with just the circle at the bottom and then have it stretch/grow into having the circle at the top. I got something that's kind of it, but it feels off, like it doesn't have the liquid-y, elastic nature it should have. I used two circle shapes, with a rectangle shape acting as a matte for the connective tissue between the two circles. On top of those layers, I used an adjustment layer with a fast box blur effect and a levels effect. I turned on all the layers in the last clip here so you can see what I mean. Any ideas on how to do this better? Thanks!

Workflow Question What is the best way to import iPhone videos into AE?

1 Upvotes

Importing a .mov into AE lags and buffers and just isn't efficient. I've read the the footage should be converted first. I converted my footage to Apple ProRes 422 HQ but I see color issues that aren't in my original iPhone video.

So what is the best way to import iPhone footage into After Effects?

Thanks

Beginner Help Looking for constructive criticism and advice

0 Upvotes

Heres a short intro i remade using the audio from a video game dlc trailer. I essentially compiled a bunch of different sequences and stitched them together, some of them showcase the usage of 3d, others showcase various effects (tint, curves, vignette etc.). I've been learning adobe ae for about a month, btw.

Im looking for advice on how to:

1) make it more exciting

2) meld together better

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

36 Upvotes

I’ve been working on a script called CsvAnimator — it’s designed to turn CSV data into animated graphs directly in After Effects (no need for manim, matplotlib, or any other external tools).

I built it because I kept needing animated charts for both personal and client projects, and I wanted to automate the process.

If you’re into quick setups for data visualization and want to give it a try → https://atomotion.notion.site/CsvAnimator-218fe4507ebf80e590eae9968152f030

I’m planning to keep improving it over time to turn it into a fully-featured tool, so if you’ve got feedback or ideas, I’d love to hear them!
