![]() ![]() Although it's motion graphics solutions (by way of add-ons) also tend to be node-based. I didn't include Blender here because I was strictly keeping it to Motion Graphics, not 3D.however, Blender is also an alternative that can be considered in this list. Which is why many After Effects users were Illustrator/Photoshop users first. Not to say that they don't have learning curves, but-I t's been my personal experience that-most persons with experience with layer-based software for static graphics have a common point of reference starting with one that has it in the UI for motion graphics. These two are not free and are layer-based, which might be easier to work with if one has never done Animation/Motion Graphics before. But it is also relatively new.and potentially very powerful. It is using an OpenFX architecture, as well, so many commercial OpenFX plug-ins can be installed in Natron (btw, it's pronounced "Ney-tron". Natron does all it's processing and rendering on the CPU (so this one is perfect if, like me, you have a Dual Core i3/i5 that only has intel HD graphics.Mac Mini, anyone?). This one is open source, node-based and doesn't require a discrete GPU. Resolve Lite 11/12 (free version 12 coming out soon).Will be out within July-September 2015 timeframe) Blackmagic Design Fusion 8 (free Mac version announced this week at NAB2015.Nuke Non-commercial edition (free w/limitations).The following solutions are "node-based" (as a reference, Motion and After Effects use a "layer-based" user interface to create compositions) and require a discrete GPU (mid to high-powered video card Intel HD 4000 ain't gonna cut it). Affinity, I also realize that Serif just discontinued MoviePlus.so, if you guys don't see yourselves coming out with an "affinity animate" app (or "affinity animator" if you use it, you heard it here first), here are some alternatives you might be willing to suggest to take the heat off. Some of us either can't currently afford AfterFX, others may not currently want to feed the beast that Adobe has become (I know I don't). What I want to do in this space is present options OTHER than After Effects. I leave the mechanical details of preparing the AD and AP files in the capable hands of Ronnie McBride. Lesson 7 In this last lesson we tackle how to use the text tool and a few ways to take 3D text and make cool graphics with it.One of the questions I see asked a LOT in the forums is how to accomplish Motion Graphics with graphic assets created in Designer/Photo. Lesson 6 In lesson 6 we will be taking many of the techniques we have learned in past lessons to create an eye catching and versatile loop design, along with a few new node tricks At the end will be hopping in the compositor to add some extra effects. Taking some rings we will be learning how to add variation to simple looping movements. We will be learning many different ways to approach looping things and how to problem solve in those situations. Lesson 4 In lesson 4 We will be learning how to shape volume to create smoke and nebulas along with learning how to loop particle systems Lesson 3 In lesson 3 we will be learning a versatile way to make stunning loops and diving right into my favorite way to create procedural looping patterns ![]() Lesson 2 In lesson 2 we will be learning how to tackle procedural modeling, a simple camera rig, and some fun node tricks to animate emissions Lesson 1 In lesson 1 I walk through my default startup settings as well as my technique and theory on how to make seamless loops
