@@JonathanWinbush from the man himself! 👊👊

Cavalry can do complex 2D in pretty much real time :) Give it a go :)

It both is and isn’t, since Unreal is not performing the same operations as After Effects and also doesn’t have the same capabilities. 3D software works in a fundamentally different way to raster 2D software. And you’ll notice that when you start to add large image textures or video files into 3D applications (even Unreal), the application can start to chug in a similar way to AE does. 3D is more comparable to 2D vector software in terms of using lightweight mathematical descriptions to describe objects. Which is why you can get huge speed benefits for ‘some’ kinds of operations. There’s a flip side in that certain kinds of operations simply aren’t possible in Unreal, there are benefits of doing things the way that After Effects or Nuke does, that allow you to do operations that aren’t possible for a 3D realtime application (think blend modes, masking, video effects etc). A particular problem After Effects faces is that it’s rasterising everything even when you’re using vector tools (in a similar way to Photoshop). Other software such as cavalry that’s a proper vector canvas can be faster than AE for some tasks. But always when you start to get video into the mix, particularly hi res video, most applications will start to slow down because having to do calculations on millions of pixels for every frame is taxing.

@@kurnikoff yeah I’ve played around with it, it’s good but I wouldn’t consider it a direct replacement for AE. I would only be able to transfer a small portion of workflow if I were to use it. Definitely something to keep an eye on though!

@@btn237 yeah I’m aware of most of what you said. But AE is extremely slow on even high end systems, and my comment was regarding the slow speed of even very simple shapes. It’s basically a relic not taking advantage of what your system is capable of. I think the possibility is there if a company were to want to enter the space and innovate by building something from new. But nobody has because motion design is a niche, especially if the tool were to compete with AE it would need all the VFX capability too which would just be a mammoth task for little return. Compared to new video editing software which seems to come out every week because it’s high demand.

@@kurnikoff i could not even import an image sequence , seems it can only use its internal vector engine

Make the switch man, every UI is terrifying for about a month, then it’s not and it’s just stuff you have to find out

i dont think that unreal can replace after effects any time soon. after effects faster , easier and has millions of plugins, templates etc. after effects starts much faster also. Unreal is good on 3d

Have you tried to do anything in after effects bigger than 4k recently? It can’t really handle 4k still and beyond that it just falls over. Especially anything with Particular, and the caching system is basically broken.

@@robheppellvideooffice i would recommend you to make all your complex AE projects in 1080p and then upscale a final render to 4k using AI Tools like Topaz Video AI - it would be much smarter and faster and you ll get good results. Enjoy^)

@@user-uq6zt2ni5m that’s crazy if you’re trying to get nice details on a large screen. What I did was use touchdesigner because it’ll do realtime particles based on footage at 5k. With AE I was getting 10 seconds per hour rendered. You can kind of do similar things to TD in unreal, but there are certain things TD can do which unreal with Niagara can’t working with footage, but either unreal or TD would’ve been much much faster. Try some other programs, they make things that take forever in AE much quicker. Obviously not everything, but AE is dead in the water for most things which involve image analysis it seems.

First thing I wanted to do was go to the comments and yell LEEETTTT'SSSS GOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! too!!! I'm just as excited as you! This is so huge!

You are so welcome!

Thanks so much brother 💪🏿

Absolutely fam

Hope you enjoy!

Thanks so much 🤙🏿

Glad you think so!

Thanks for sharing!

Glad it was helpful!

Any time!

I mean you have nothing to loose right, well except hard drive space lol

Definately need all the AE plugins to make their way over

why do you say C4D inside? Is there something specifically related to C4D inside Unreal? Or did you just mean "Motion design inside Unreal Engine"?

Glad you liked it!

I'm getting over a cold and client deadlines but I should be freed up again this upcoming week!

Appreciate you fam thank you 💪🏾

You too thanks!

You bet!

My pleasure!

that’s what i’m hoping for too!!

You can control any parameter in Unreal Engine with osc/midi, could be also the case with the Motion design mode.

Absolutely 🤙🏿

You're welcome!

Thanks 🙏🏿

Mine too!

@@JonathanWinbush can't wait for the dope tuts!

Thanks buddy!! See you in Vegas yea?

Will take a bit for the course as some stuff might change since this is in preview

Nah the motion stuff is big enough to where it'd be it's own course but I'm thinking of just doing it on my channel first before anything 🤙🏿

Cool, good to know. Thanks for the reply @@JonathanWinbush 🙌

I think it can be one day if they keep up with the development of it

Yup I'll have it here on my channel for sure!

You can do keying already in Unreal I did a tutorial not to long ago on it and there are also warp effects in this update but it's not as robust as AE yet. I think it'll get interesting once the plugin devs swoop in like that do in the AE community

I don't think they are public but let me ask him after GDC if he plans on making them public. He's a cool guy I'm sure he'd be down.

@@JonathanWinbushGracias, it would be really great if you could find out. I'm trying to replicate a couple of effects you showed in your video, specially the connection between audio and effector, but there is still not enough documentation out there, and my knowledge of Unreal is still lacking a lot to piece some things. I appreciate you 🤗

🙏🏿

I've only ever used pc but i think it's having issue on Mac in general

@@JonathanWinbush I can be a guinea pig. I'm on an iMac pro beast of mahine in 2017. I'll wait for your tutorials. Thanks for leading the way for mograph!

Only for PC i guess, downloaded everything and installed only to find out its not available for mac

@@Fredtheswedex really...will have to email unreal about that

@@luisgonzalez8415 you the man 🙏

I'm on it!! Thanks 💪🏿

You and me both, you don't know how long I've wanted this in AE

Yea I feel the same I think once the plugin devs get on board it's came over 🤙🏿

I'll try to get a tutorial on that!

@@JonathanWinbush Great! Also, do you know if there is a way to export it as a animation (FBX for instance) to then be able to export it into another application like UEFN?

@@TomasNihlen Hmmm I'll have to try and see if there's a way to bake it down maybe

@@JonathanWinbush That would be awesome!

i'll ask the team!

Thank you! @@JonathanWinbush

Could always work at 24fps then also lighting has a lot to do when making things look cinematic

@@JonathanWinbush Worths a try. And thanks for sharing, man. Unreal feels to have a steep learning curve with it's UI. We need good, educating tutorials out there :)

I'll be making tutorials next week but do you have an example of what you mean?

@@JonathanWinbush I mean like in c4d if I Animate a mobile model and add object tag there and render it and import in Affer effects. Then in Ae we can easily replace the screen with any image. As well as we also get the camera, So can we do that for Motion design tool for UE to Ae

Yes they updated hot fonts work in 5.4 I'll be covering that as well
