The .1

As I was hinting on Friday, there’s a few updates coming to After Effects by ways of a 12.1 update. As ever, I’ll spare you the marketing talk and if you feel so inclined you can watch videos on Adobe TV and the other usual places like Pro Video Coalition or read Kopriva-Man©’s list. Anything […]

Make CC (CS7) work for you!

Because last year’s edition still ranks as the top popular post on this little shabby blog of mine, I thought it might be a good idea to update and expand it a little for After Effects CC. Some things stay the same, some things have improved, several things have gotten worse, actually, so let’s cut […]

What’s wrong with Cineware

In the ongoing debate about After Effects and Cineware I think I had this one moment of perfect clarity in a thread on mograph.net and finally could put my own confusion into words: In its current state it doesn’t help you to make better 3D, it’s just another method of compositing 2D render outputs with rather […]

New Version, new Errors

It’s some nasty thunderstorm outside as I’m writing this and since it’s been one of those terribly hot “looking good in undies” (and nothing else but undies) days, I didn’t feel like doing much else all afternoon, so I sat down and messed around with the Error Code Database. I have added the first three […]

Creative Awful

Just installed After Effects CC with Cineware here at work (yes, after 8 weeks sick I’m back at my office!) and what can I say? It’s in every aspect as awful as I thought it would be. The performance simply sucks even with the simplest extruded text and then it keeps bugging you that the settings […]

The Day of the 17

I got up at 4 in the morning today because the pain in my abdomen and thorax once more prevented me from catching a few more hours of sleep and realized that today would actually be my 17th doctor appointment in those last 8 weeks. This means there were on average 2 per week and […]

The Tube

It’s that time of the year again… It’s Apple‘s WWDC and aside from the usual updates to iOS and OSX, this time around of course the new Mac Pros are everyone’s favorite topic, so let’s have a little fun dissecting it as well. On the After Effects mailing list I jokingly recommended calling it SLUF because, […]

Saturday Folders

With the Creative Cloud set to release in June and none of my much wished for changes coming and After Effects just remaining the same old lady for a while longer, developers’ gluteal cramps seem to relax and they start releasing a few more things that should/ will be compatible to CS7 as well. Yee-ha! […]

Outrageous!

Let’s talk about… Angelina Jolie‘s boobs! Erm, no, not really, though you have to give it to her – tough call and very courageous to go through such a full-on trademark redesign, if you wanna call it that. ;-) Big thumbs up, little girl! Anyway, that’s not what we’re here to talk about. Of course, […]

Mad Cloud

One day someone is gonna write a book about the biggest marketing fuck-ups of the century, and mark my words, Adobe is going to be referenced in there a lot. You gotta give it to them – they always manage to take their already bad communication from the year before up (or down) another notch, […]
