Adobe After Effects

I think it's definately a valuable piece of software in terms of editing so I aqquired it yesterday and downloaded a good tutorial that's split into about 14 700mb videos. I'll have a look at the first video tomorrow. I'll be doing a uni course next year called Media Lab Arts - basically Digital Arts and this software is a necessity.

How have others found it? What have you produced with it?

A member of despro works with it, I hung out with him at uni once to check it out.... its fucking awsome, seriously. It takes ages to get used to it (apparantly).

Hes teaching me how to blur faces.... where did you get it.... wanna share?

get it off any decnt P2P network....I use it..but I lost the CD somewhere

you can blur faces in premiere pro. Actually...alot of the shit you can do in after effects can be done in premiere. I learned it a few years back but never needed it for anything. I found alot of its effects to be cheesy.

I have it but ive never used it, I can do everything I want to in premiere pro, boner used after effects for the angel/devil skit.

I'll send you a message in a sec.



Yeah premiere is good, but if you want to get really technical with editing After Effects is the way forward. The effects that are cheesy are the plugins, you can design so much more.

you should release a clip of whatever it is you think you can only do in after effects that isnt cheesy

That is fucking amazing. I would kill to be able to edit like that.

Meant to get this ages ago just never could be arsed.

Going to get it now though.

yeah the effects were good...but there were a few cuts I didn't like...
and I don't care if "it's meant to be like that"
when a shot looks like it physically jumps that means it sucks
it's suppose to flow...but some of those didn't, and it fucked the style
it started off well....but it fucked itself...
that's my 2 cents...

Yeah, that video deserves it's own thread. A friend (has been quoted 'Digital Artist of the year by the Computer Arts magazine) and myself filmed some stuff over a year ago that is similar to that style (having something chase a person), but we never got round to editing it in After Effects, that's why I'm learning it now. I can send you the video if you're interested.



Hmm they have the talent to be able to do that, it's A LOT harder to edit choppy footage, it seems more real to me the way it is.

I've been looking for a copy of this for ages, I really wanna use it. I got a download but it didn't work. Any chance of PMing me a link dude? <3

Add me on msn if anyone needs it. MADE says the link I gave him isn't working but I know of more. Plus some links to video tut's too.

Hmm, its a small file size, but I found another at double its size. :S

OMFG ITZ MUST BE A VIRUS!1

No I am just wondering if the bigger one has more effect and shit in it.

Just kidding with you man. Yeah maybe, or is it a higher version?

Same version.

Does the one you got have all the effect working in it?

Mines still downloading, 37% right now.

Maybe it has extra plugins, I was going to download that version but nah.

Lets all make sure we dont support piracy here! As were all downloading the Free try-out copy from Adobe!

And I want lots of features! lol.

Of course it's the free trial

Hmm it's better to create your own effects I think cause standard ones just get over used eg. lense flares :|

I aint used it yet, but do own it...

HGF does not support piracy.

love you really, I downloaded one anyways Image file not present in the recovered backup


EDIT: oh and stop abusing your HGF admin power!

I dont abuse them!

The rule is not to post asking for serial keys, I enforced that rule. Just like the others would have.

I had it, didn't need it, deleted it.
