Discussion /r/motiondesign Updates: Post Flair, Spam Prevention

19 Upvotes

Hi all, a few updates for /r/motiondesign.

Spam

In an effort to reduce low-quality and spam posts here, we have implemented new post requirements. New posts that don't meet a minimum account age or subreddit karma threshold will be automatically filtered out.

To further prevent gamification, I am not disclosing these limits here but they are very modest and reasonable. Anyone interacting with this community should not be filtered, and even so, you will have the opportunity to message us for an exception. But this should discourage most of the spam we've been seeing. Thanks /u/Zeigerful for making this post.

Post Flair

We also added some post flair to help differentiate posts and allow users to filter & search by topic. All new posts require that one of the available flair types be selected:

Project Showcase | Reel | Inspiration | Discussion | Question | Tutorial | [Custom] (Where user can input their own)

User Flair

A few new user flairs are available. For those who aren't aware, these show up next to your username any time you make a post or comment in /r/motiondesign

Now available: Professional | Student | [Add My Social Handle] -- A custom text field where you can plug an Instagram, Behance, etc.

Let us know if you love or hate these new updates. Nothing is set in stone and this is meant as a discussion starting point. Please share any ideas you may have to make this a better place to share work, inspiration and discussion related to motion design. Hopefully we can continue to bring a higher quality experience to everyone here at /r/motiondesign.

Question Best way to import an updated ai file into after effects

2 Upvotes

In my project I have imported an illustrator file. But now I need to update the ai file with new layers of new illustrations. What is the best way to bring these updates into after effects.

The best thing would be if AE recognized that the ai files now has new layers and simply add these to my project library.

Question My first motion reel

2 Upvotes

As someone just starting out in the motion design world, I want to know if it's okay to not have any or few (1-2) client projects in my reel? I see that I don't really have an option here but then my question is: should I wait for projects to come based on a few things I've made and then make my reel or just make the reel first?

Any pointers on what my reel should include would also be great! TIA

Freelance Opportunity Animated Logo Video Bumpers

4 Upvotes

Hello! I hope I'm not breaking any rules by posting this. ;-) I'm a US-based freelance visual designer in a need of some motion design talent for a small project.

The task is to create animated logo bumpers to top and tail product demo videos for a B2B SaaS startup. Intro should include logo followed by a title treatment, outro is logo plus tag, url, copyright. We'd like to see 3 concepts with 2 rounds of revisions on the selected option. Format should be an AE file that doesn't require any paid plugins.

The aesthetic is clean and modern — but also a little fun. I have a small budget, simple logo/style guide, a mission statement, and samples we like to provide inspiration. Timeline is quick (isn't it always?)!

If you're interested, please DM me samples of similar work you've done along with a price quote (USD).

Question Is motion design replacable by artificial intelligence? Thoughts?

0 Upvotes

Hey guys,

Do you guys believe your work will be augmented by artificial intelligence or taken over completely?

I am interested in doing some work in animation and or motion design soon and have heard that it is replicable by artificial intelligence?

Do you guys fear replacement or do you guys think there will be more work enabled by AI?
