In the age of AI, I just dont find enjoyment in creative work anymore. It feels like a waste of time just knowing that an LMM could output the majority of my work, when prompted right in an instant. Makes it hard for me to enjoy the traditional artistic process anymore knowing im just doing it "for the sake of art" as opposed to it being actually truly necessary anymore.

Ive been editing videos since 2009, and got into motion design in 2011. Have a big time job with a big time agency, and with the forced implementation of AI, I have 0 sense of fulfillment in my work anymore.

I loved the technical part of figuring out how to make something in AE, C4D, Premiere, etc. And that all is just going away. I can see the writing on the wall. Even though its just a tool for now, I know that AIs progression in this field will ultimately lead to a dead end for this to be a viable career option.

So im thinking of a career change, or at least want to be prepared to pivot when that time inevitably comes.

I have skills in video editing, video camera operation and a deep technical knowledge of how they work, and extensive experience in television production, and a bit of broadcast engineering.

Trouble is, I can see AI eventually replacing all of those professions.

My whole life I was told to get a degree and study something useful, and now, just a mere 8 years into my career, early 30's, it's crumbling before me.

None of the trades interest me in the slightest (construction, plumbing, welding, etc), but it seems those jobs are the only ones completely safe from AI....

So my question is for those entering the peak years of your career phase (30's), having to face this grim future of our creative industry we spent our whole education years studying, what are your plans?

When you see a title sequence, like a Vox transition, or edit that blows you away, what do you do next? Screenshot it, scrub at 0.25x, try to recreate it, save it and forget?

Curious what your real process looks like, and what's the most annoying part of it!

So I was learning After effects 3rd Camera

And almost everyone were parenting camera to null I mean I know Parenting camera to null can let us Views layer from different angles but what's the not point of parenting camera to null, If null alone can let us view lyr from different angles

This video took me a week from the script, then building the UI in Figma, and then implementing it in After Effects.

Hi there! Made a cloth tear sim in Blender. I have used a combination of shape keys and two cloth sims to create it. First sim was used to bake the motion of the cloth being pushed away by the ball as a shape key. Then I made cuts and split the geometry of the cloth where it would tear apart. For the second sim, I set it up to start on the last+1 frame of the shape key.

Quite a tricky and not ideal workflow for this effect. Saw that this is much easier now with the new simulation geo nodes in Blender, so I should give it a try for sure.

i want to learn this kind of animation creation, i actually don't know which tool they used to create this. If any body knows how to create this animation creation video please help me out though this

We’ve been working on ZELLIGE, an After Effects panel that turns footage into grid-based visuals using luminance and texture.
You can create different looks by droping the image/video into brightness zones, combining textures, and animating the grid based on the footage.
Here’s a short promo showing some of the results you can create with it.
Would love to hear what you think!

I just delivered a Client work which was an Ad for a branding studio. They approved the edit and are also asking for the open source file? As a motion designer, do you share them or not, and like if you do , You charge and extra? Cause handing it over feels like I'm just giving away my expertise and they can prolly use it to alter for other videos which is future work gone for me. What's your thoughts on these guys?

Created this small, loopable animation in a line-art style (self produced music).

A motion design piece for DEP, exploring its visual identity through animated brand elements, including a box, a roll-up banner, and a book with turning pages.
The page transitions form the letter E from the DEP logo, bringing the brand identity into the animation itself.
