At some stage in the future, I will spend the time learning the basics of #AfterEffects to up my Editing skills for the moment I think I need to just finish this edit I’ve been sitting on for like 2 months.
@SamXavia how much does AfterEffects cost?
I’ve been playing with Blender since COVID started and it’s great (and free)… I also use kdenlive for some video stuff (Blender has a nonlinear video editor too, but I haven’t learned it) and gimp for raster image work.
I need to learn Inkscape and about 80% of Blender still
@dannotdaniel I pay for the Adobe Suite, It costs about £27 a month. If you want to learn a Video Editor for normal Videos then I suggest Premiere Pro what is on the same plan, After Effects is more of the Visual aspect for Graphics and stuff but you can use both for one project (Hents why I want to learn After Effects).
@SamXavia wow that was higher than I guessed
thanks… gotta double down on my free stack 😅 ✌️
@dannotdaniel Yeah it costs quite a bit due to you’re paying for everything Adobe gives out, such as Photoshop, Premiere Pro, Illustrator, After Effects & there sound one (I can’t remember what it’s called).
@SamXavia I would like to see some of those AI features that photoshop has like the sharpening and object removal make their way into the gimp.
surely that must be on the horizon… but I have been using it for so long it would actually be very hard (not to mention the cost) to switch 😅
@dannotdaniel Yeah they aren’t that bad of features, you have to use the BETA versions of Photoshop what is unstable (More unstable that normal Adobe) but from what I used it for, it does save so much time. It really depends if you are doing a lot of this for money (So making that £27 a month back) or the cost is just worth it as it saves you time and the tools work together if you import the file to the project.
