Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

ADOBE PREMIERE PRO RECOMMENDED SPECS: https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/system-requirements.html

  • What version of Premiere Pro will these work on?

If you are using an older version than Premiere Pro CC (12.0.1) (~2018) many of the effects will still work, however any effects such as the VR Glow, or RGB split which use newer updated features may not work for you. I would recommend you sign up for a subscription of the latest version of adobe creative cloud for best results, however feel comfortable still getting the majority of effects to work in slightly older versions. Any hesitations or mistakes feel free to contact me and I will take care of you.

These work great with newer versions like 2020 and beyond as well.

  • Do I need to cut, adjust, or keyframe anything out?

Nope! All the effects have been built to be drag and drop automatically done. No prep work or tedious placement on your end, however they are all fully flexible and mixable should you choose to experiment.

  • I’m getting a “this effect requires GPU acceleration” message.

Some of the effects that use the new VR Immersive effects should be applied LAST to avoid getting this message. These are the Glow Transition, and RGB Split. Check your specs and preferences to see if you have GPU acceleration turned off.

  • The effects are not playing back or playing back really choppy

Buffering and preview rendering is normal for heavy effects like zoom in and out, or when stacking many heavy effects on the same clip. You can try lowering the preview quality or rending and In (I) Out (O) preview if you see the red line above the timeline.

  • Will these work on Slow Mo footage?

When applying certain effects to a clip with speed adjustments on it, right click and nest the clips into their own sequence to avoid any key-framing or timing issues.

  • Will these work with adjustment layers?

Certain effects can be applied to adjustment layers without issue to allow you to apply the same look over multiple clips at once and other experimental combinations while some naturally cannot. For example you can’t crop an adjustment layer it acts a crop to everything underneath. Although every effect was made with direct drag and drop use in mind first, adjustment layers can definitely be used in your workflow.

  • Can I use these in my commercial projects?

You can use these in your music videos, vlogs, commercials. Paid or free work. The only thing you CANNOT do is resell or repackage or redistribute these presets in any way.

Tips

Mixing and Matching:

from the many dozen unique effects built in here, you can mix and match endless combinations

  • try a flicker + glitch + invert transition for a unique result
  • try mixing glitch vertical + glitch horizontal for a new effect
  • try only adding an invert or lens bump to the B side of the clip for a more impactful variation of the effects on certain clips
Smooth transition after effects research

Combine with duplicated layers, blending modes, masks, and keyframes for even more possibilities!

Certain effects cannot be properly made into a preset file like blending two layers. Mixing well shot clips, with your own touch, and these effects will result in the most unique and polished look!

Enjoy!

Applying animation curves to keyframes is the best way to give your project organic and lifelike movements. Here are the steps to smoothing keyframes in After Effects.

There are some things you learn further down your motion graphics journey that you probably wished you would’ve known from the beginning. For me, I wish I could get back the full year of using After Effects that I had before I found out about animation curves.

After

In a nutshell, animation curves allow you to create smooth movements in After Effects. If you want to give your project realistic movements and Disney-like appeal, animation curves are a must. Let’s take a look at the difference between linear animation and smooth animation in After Effects.

Linear Animation

By default, when you set a keyframe in After Effects, it will use a linearkeyframeinterpolation, meaning it won’t smooth out any part of the animation. Your animation will essentially go from 0 to 100 mph in a single frame. Needless to say, this animation doesn’t look very organic at all.

Unfortunately, most new AfterEffects users will leave their keyframes as linear, resulting in some very harsh movement.

Smooth Animation

Compare the linear keyframe animation to the smooth keyframe animation below. You’ll notice how the logo starts out moving slowly. It then picks up in the middle and smooths out toward the end. This is a much more organic way to create smooth animations.

When you watch professional animation (like a cartoon or an impressive motion graphic sequence), you’ll almost always see smooth animation that has been manipulated using an animation curve graph.

Step 1: Set Your Keyframes

The first thing you need to do is set a couple keyframes. To do this, click the dropdown menu next to the layer you want to keyframe. Move the layer position to where you want it to start and click the stopwatch button.

Next, move your playhead to the time where you want your animation to end. Move your layer to your ending position. By default, After Effects should have set a keyframe. If not, hit the small box between the two arrows located to the left of the word ‘Position’ in the transform menu.

While this tutorial is specifically focused on animating the position of your layer, you can literally keyframe any parameter in After Effects. So if you want your object to smoothly scale up, organically turn transparent, or have lifelike rotation, just use this same technique.

Step 2: Open the Graph Editor

Select both of your keyframes in your timeline by drawing a box around them. To open the graph editor, hit the small timeline graph button at the top of the timeline panel. You should instantly see a graph representation of your layer in action.

Step 3: Create Curves

It is usually easier to edit position keyframes in the SpeedGraph. By default, you’re probably in the ValueGraph. To change the speed graph, hit the small window menu (the one with the three lines) at the bottom of the timeline panel and select the SpeedGraph option. If it’s already selected, simply click away.

The next step is to smooth out your animation’s movements. Your keyframes will have a small yellow handle called a bezier handle. By grabbing this handle, you can begin to create curves in your timeline. The more hill-like your graph looks, the smoother the beginning and ending will be.

Step 4: Adjust as Needed

Every smooth animation is going to require a little trial and error. Mess around with your keyframes until you get the right movement for your project.

Here’s what our finished animation looks like:
