"What bitrate should I export my mp4s in?" I used to wonder this until I found a formula in an old PDF that an Adobe employee created over 15 years ago. I turned it into a little calculator for everyone to use: bitratecalculator.app
Hello fellow motion graphics people!
I'm looking for Beta Testers! I'm working on a plugin for After Effects that helps you quickly cycle through different versions of shots in your AE comps. If you wanna get involved check out discord.gg/rESzCpds for more info and the DL link
Is anyone vibecoding an After Effects alternative?
I've made this handy little website, that helps you calculate the best bitrate for your H.264 video exports from @adobelive.bsky.social/Premiere/@maxonvfx.bsky.social etc.
bitratecalculator.app
Any feedback is welcome!
In @sidefx.bsky.social Houdini, is there a shortcut that releases a node from the node-tree (like when you shake it free)? Sometimes the shaking doesn't work as I wish it would so just pressing a key would be so much easier.
NEW WORK!
This is an extract of a music visualisation piece I did for Nik Bärtsch and Ronin for the documentary Ingredients For Disaster (OUT NOW!)

Made in Houdini and AE @sidefx.bsky.social
I think 3Mbps isn't quite enough for most 1080p content. It might be an extreme example but check out my previous post with that particle explosion, it gets completely mangled with such low bit rates.
Having to upload 5 second clips externally seems wrong, no?
I really hope this will change in the future otherwise bluesky is dead on arrival for motion graphics people :(
I know my reach is very limited here but are there any fellow motion designers or designers in general from Devon/Cornwall on here? I'm sharing an office with the wonderfully talented @simonfarussell.bsky.social, @haxiomic.bsky.social and @callumcannarella.bsky.social down/up in Plymouth!
Hey look, you can use your domain as a username! That's neat!
If I could ask for a feature request: please don't end up putting some form of reels at the top of this app, thank you!
I already have way too much politics on this timeline for my liking. Where are my fellow motion graphics designers? Where's the Houdini crowd? Get off your Discords!
yep, I hope it'll improve without them trying to sell premium accounts for better video compression :)
Interesting, it looks like this here, even tried a different browser to avoid loading a cached version of the uploaded video. Also hi!
Here's a still in 4k resolution to show how the compression (in my previous post) mangles the output. I was hoping @bsky.app would have better media compression that Tw*tter tbh
that compression is not very generous to that sim I have to say :(
Thanks, this is done in Houdini
Hello Bluesky people! I'm, like most people, are fairly new here and am looking forward to liking social media again (hopefully)
I make motion graphics, mostly big screen art things these days. Let's see how bsky compresses 4k particle sims!
