Excellent! I've been a motion graphics designer and video editor for 25 years and I was getting a headache trying to figure out a solution to a clients problem and this just solved it. Thank you and subscribed!
Thank you! Big fan of Mocha Pro, speaking of which I gave you a shoutout in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bUazuSERig8.html
Hey Brandon. Awesome tutorial; thank you as always! I was wondering your thoughts on recent A.I software such as Runway AI's inpainting and how immediate of a 90% perfect result it gave. For complex scenes with a lot of depth, I know that this tech can fall to pieces, but I'm wary of pouring hundreds of hours of practice into CAF when emerging tech like this speaks for itself. For the record, I'm not personally a fan of these apps (with all the implications that come with AI in general) but as a working professional, I don't think can ignore it.
Hey Jack! I totally agree that we can't ignore it, and while Adobe and their peers have been integrating some impressive tools using AI such as this, some of these 3rd party tools are incredible. I love when I can do something natively in After Effects so that I can do other visual effects work to it simultaneously, but ultimately I think whatever tool can best solve a problem is the tool that should probably be used. I haven't personally used Runway, but I will try to dig into it. It will also be interesting to see which of these tools get bought up by the big players and integrated into their software. It certainly feels like the wild west right now.
It actually only took 90 seconds for it to analyze and render the 2.5 second foam finger shot. For it to analyze the lighting in each frame and create this good of a result, all while I get myself another cup of coffee, is really impressive to me! Thanks for watching. -Brandon
