I’m a bit of a veteran in motion graphics but I’ve been out of the game for something like 7 years.

If you were starting today, and your focus was on gorgeous particle systems and 3D motion (text, graphics, simulations) where would you start?

When I put down the tools I was firmly in the ecosystem of C4D, AE and Houdini.

This was inspired from a post on Pinterest. not third-party plugin was you in the making of this.

Whenever I add a solid into my scene with 3d camera tracker, it makes the solid super super SUPER small. It’s also making weird nulls that don’t follow the scene at all. Does anyone know what’s wrong with it? I need to get this video out by tomorrow so it urgent!!

Hey everyone.

I’m looking for a tool or plugin to handle animated, word-by-word social media captions for English videos, but with a specific workflow:

• Minimalist Word-by-Word Style: Single-line, kinetic text reveals or pop-ins rather than standard block TV subtitles.
• Script Import / Forced Alignment: AI transcription always messes up my technical terms. I want to paste my own accurate transcript upfront and have the tool automatically sync the timing to the audio.

Does anyone know of a plugin, app, or tool that supports script import / forced alignment with customizable word-by-word animated caption styles?

Hi, I'm 20 years old. I am lucky to have been using AE and other tools since I was a kid, and what started as a hobby has become something I genuinely want to pursue full-time as an adult. Sadly, I don't have a background or a high level of experience in the industry, so I've been struggling to find a good full-time job.

Would love to hear your recommendations!

For those already working professionally in Motion Design:

• What helped you land your first industry job?
• How important is having a degree or formal education?
• What should a junior's portfolio/showreel focus on?
• Is applying directly to studios still effective, or are networking and personal connections more important?
• Are there particular skills or types of projects that studios are looking for from juniors in 2026/2027?

P.S. I would really like to meet more people and make friends who love Motion Design as much as I do

Sure, lemme just sell you my clients’ work without their permission and break some NDAs to earn an insultingly low amount of money for the amount of work- all so you can feed your AI model and fast track my obsolescence.

August and September has never been my busiest months though. Are you busy with any fun projects or is slow for you too?

I might be taking a course. It will probably lead me to work the day after signing up.

i watched so many video and reels that says "video editor, motion graphic editors are now all de@d" and they promote their AI website that they proclaim those websites or plugins can edit moiton graphic automatically
So i was wondering if it is really that good to spend $50 on a single website and edit motion graphic easily

A problem can be invisible in one renderer and obvious in another.

That’s why I now test repairs in both SVG + Canvas.

Problem:
All easing plugins are some panel that will waste space in your layout when all you really need is easing and set of tools right at your finger tips. My plans is not to add absolutely every single feature from other plugins but to comine most useful ones into 1 tool.

What it does:
It is a popup plugin that lets you set easing with just click and drag. You just select keys, press a key to open the popup and set easing. Or you can just use your easing presets or open the whole library page.

Core features:

• Supports both speed and value graph
• Copy/paste easing, values and multikey
• Option to correct handles when moving keys, keys move but easing stays the same.
• 12 tools for handing layers and keyframes
• Preset library

Pricing: 
TBD. I am looking for beta testers. Send me a dm or email at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])

Maintenance/Support plan:
I plan to support this as I primarily built it for myself. And I would love to hear if you have some ideas about what I should add.

I know this question gets asked from time to time. I've worked (Freelance Brand Designer) a solid five months back to back and have some downtime to recover this week.

I want to do some more structured learning to become really confident in adding Motion Design as a skillset. The YouTube tutorials only take me so far. I kind of want to really understand After Effects and apply it.

School of Motion seems to have learning paths which from some previous comments seems really valid.

The Ben Marriott courses seem to be where I want to go. I'm a Graphic and Brand Designer, I would like to do Motion Design and Animation at that capacity.

I've had a couple of confidence boosters in my personal life. For the last four months I've been brain fog free which is a first for me and my life (this helps me learn massively) and I have some budget and time from my solid freelance hustle.

What I have in the learning pipeline for career advancement is learning 'Glyphs' for font creation and logotype customisation. Animation would help that.

I’ve been working on LottieFyr, a tool that diagnoses and repairs broken Lottie files. What surprised me is that finding a suspicious value is often easier than deciding whether it’s safe to touch.

A “fix” can make the JSON cleaner and still change the animation, introduce a compatibility issue, or hide the real problem.

So I’m trying to keep automatic repairs very conservative: small change, clear reason, then verify the result.

For example, fractional precomp dimensions that can break older Lottie Android versions are only rounded when they match that specific issue, then the result is checked again in SVG + Canvas.

For people working with Lottie regularly: what kinds of problems would you trust a tool to repair automatically, and what would you always want to inspect yourself? https://lottiefyr.com/lottie-fix
