S.N.A.F.U. Time!
Ah, good times! Being the nasty little gnome that I am it gives me some weird pleasure to report two quite noticeable fuck-ups this week. First, the one you probably haven’t even heard about yet – Lytro is finally doing everyone a favor closing its doors for good. Of course they make it sound all […]
2018 ain’t coming yet
Just a quick follow-up on my article from one month ago (Wow, these days I only post about once a month. how times have changed!): Sad as it is, stay away from Adobe Creative Cloud 2018 products for the time being. Just when you think things can’t get worse, Adobe proves that they can up […]
I see Nodes everywhere!
Trapcode Particular has long been a staple of motion graphics design in After Effects, but with more than 10 years on its back, its age is showing. It comes from a time when things were much more limited and even though it still can do amazing stuff, you wouldn’t do some things the same way […]
State of the Ra-CC-e
Here we are again, a week after the latest Creative Cloud versions of Adobe‘s products have been released and it’s pretty much like it has been for the last five years or so – a veritable mess. Time-warping the numbering scheme forward to 2017 hasn’t helped and as you would expect, you will find all […]
AEIBCC 2016
There used to be a time when I had my eyes firmly on those tradeshow dates, but these days I’m glad when I can keep my medical appointments straight. Yepp, it’s IBC again and as per the usual routine, it’s one of those events that most companies in the media industry use to make some […]
Fixer Upper
*sssshhhh*, don’t tell anyone, but there are times when I do watch those more or less awful shows on some of the Discovery Network‘s channels out of sheer boredom. Fixer Upper is one of them, where some interior designers and architects try to turn some of those terribly distasteful American country homes into something that might […]
It’s still 2015…
Well, at least according to Adobe. Thus this year’s first new Creative Cloud versions are labeled as 2015.something, which is actually pretty terrible. It’s like the company being in full Corel mode and having zero confidence in their products because they know that a) they are still full of bugs and unresolved issues (trust me, […]
Another Year, another *meh*
Well, just a quick bit of non-news: Features of the upcoming After Effects CC release. It’s totally what I expected – more spotty performance enhancements and gimmicky features here and there, but not a fundamental re-invention of workflows nor anything else. Making things work asynchronously and decoupling functions is not a bad thing, mind you, […]
Fashionista Expressionista
Expressions in After Effects always have been both a curse and a blessing at the same time. Once you understood them, they offered up a lot of potential to do things more efficiently, but working with them always was a pain in the butt. The warnings were cryptic, you had no decent built-in editor and a […]
To Affinity and beyond?
Good news today for anyone getting tired of being chained to Adobe‘s Creative Cloud just to do a bit of image editing. What currently could be considered the hottest contender in that arena, Affinity Pro, is coming to Windows just as well! You can apply for the Beta test right here. Why is this significant? Over […]
