After Effects 3D cameras get easier, colors mix more realistically, and Insydium’s tools get deeper!
This week we're diving into the 3Deep end with Motion Ape’s Camera Crew, a completely free After Effects tool that makes 3D camera control actually enjoyable. We're also exploring Mixbox, a fascinating technology that finally makes digital colors mix like real paint, and Rebelle, software that brings you ultra realistic painting tools. Plus, we're checking out Moonvalley's Marey, an AI video model that's actually paying creators and licensing footage instead of scraping the internet, Tencent's new AI 3D modeler, and Insydium’s newest Fuse features.
We'll also peek at some stunning work from Yeti's new "Sins" project, Anthony Dickinson's incredible hand-painted music video with 5,000 frames, and discover a 20-year-old Polish designer channeling Y2K vibes better than people who actually lived through it.
⚡️ NEW COURSE: Premiere for Motion Designers
In Premiere for Motion Designers, you’ll learn to leverage the art of video editing to increase your creativity and efficiency. Create better animatics, easily edit audio & music, and effortlessly add footage to your motion projects. By the end of this course, you’ll have practical, studio-style skills that make you a multimedia master … and most importantly, you can finally stop editing in After Effects!
