After effects fun.

So I got the trial for after effects and have watching tutorials and messing around. here is something I made. What do you think?

Also it is so much harder to make something like this then adding muzzle flash or explosions to a clip.

I used to have an older version of After Effects. I had the complete Adobe package. It was back in like '99. Photoshop still works from that though, so that's a plus. Haven't used it in a long time though. I think I might try to find an updated complete Adobe package to download again.

I vastly improved it. I need some help finding a sound effect though.

a fuck ton. It is AMAZINGLY powerful but is $350 witha student discount. $450 if you get the bundle with photoshop, premiere pro, and a lot of other stuff.

Hence why I would find it to download it.

Do you really need a professional program though?

Apparently Adobe is offering rentals of their programs.

Regular Price/Monthly Price/Yearly Sub

Photoshop $699/$49/$35
Dreamweaver $399/$29/$19
Illustrator $599/$45/$29
Indesign $699/$49/$35
Flash $699/$49/$35
Premiere $799/$59/$39
After Effects $999/$75/$49



Obviously these are stand-alone prices and without student discounts and for the yearly sub you have to agree to a 1 year rental.

Still paying money which is bad for most people. I was wondering what you thought of my new clip also.

I personally wouldn't have the Matrix type background and I would also say that it should be a bit longer. Just need to make sure that people can get a good look at it before you start with the effect that you have.

I know what you mean on both of those it is just that I don't have a good background (yet) and I am trying to look up how to slow down the footage in the first part. My main focus was the effect though. Think it was ok?

I think it was good, you just need to find the right background to go with it.

I have to say these past couple of days messing with after effects I have had a BLAST. I am even more torn now what kind of career i want. Anyways I changed some things here is the new video.

Looks nice, now you just need some sound fx to go with it.
