i had NO idea you could loop png sequences through the "interpret footage" window, you've saved my life

@@eisenhalle9328 Check if the program you are going to use the most needs more memory. Some programs needs a better graphic card (meaning better memory, as Blender 3d. Others requires RAM memory)

Build? From what? There's a global shortage of pc components. Graphics cards prices are through the roof.

@@eisenhalle9328 my perception have been widened over past few years for non 4k box office editing, doesn't require you to have high end gpu or cpu at all. Here's the sweet spot : ips monitor/tv(yes, been there it's actually decent nowadays), 4 core cpu with turbo boost(doesn't have to be lastest one) , high speed ram lastly the most important thing is sdd for editing then for saving long term you needed a hdd that's all. P.s i have a pet project of what can be done with anemic 2 core laptop with moderate effects turns out it's very doable! i have it posted on other account of mine

I rarely comment but I have to say that this is the best tutorial by far for using After Effects to add VFX to an animation. Literally no other tutorial goes in depth about the entire process

in tvpaint, you can export "layer structure" (as psd sequence), and have the layer structure on after effects. about the frame rate. you can define the fps after effects interpretates the sequences. in "edit - preferences"

This is probably the best and most informative compositing lesson I've found on KZfaq. I have been looking for good guides on creating a 2d animation compose for a long time, but I can't find anything so useful and compressed in the public domain.

@Motion-Graphics-Man 3 жыл бұрын

Great examples. Love your work. For those that may not know, You can set up your preferred interpretation in the preferences, so you don't have to do it on each import. Also you can double click the ellipse tool and it will fill the frame automatically.
