![]() Let me know your thoughts and feedback or anything you wanna know or would like me to cover. In this tutorial we look at recreating a video similar to a google advert starting in Affinity with the logo design then on to Motion with a very simple animation, next on to FCPX to complete the video. This is a tutorial based on Affinity Designer, Motion & FCPX. I normally teach one to one and in a group classroom styled environment but this totally new to me and I had to listen back to my own voice :(. ![]() Hi all, my name is Allan and this is my first ever video tutorial and it was a lot harder than expected. The ONLY way I understand the situation if you HAVE to continue using the Adobe product is if-truthfully-there is no (reasonably priced) equivalent/alternative, then you're stuck. The artists will find workarounds.everyone else may just be an "adobe user." Adobe has spoiled everyone and, in doing so, made it harder for some designers and users to detach themselves from Adobe's teet. How did one make it happen? They studied their tools and came up with new ways how to use them. I am, unfortunately, old enough to remember when Path Text was not part of Illustrator. In the old days BEFORE Release to Layers/Smart Objects, the user base would have had to come up with workarounds. You may have to now animate the assets yourselves, but they work. I can testify that the same technique he used-AD to PNG ("Selected without background")-works just as well on HitFilm and Natron. Ronnie McBride has already put up a tutorial on moving assets to Motion from AD. Therefore, those of you who can, I suggest looking into Motion, HitFilm, or-an open source newcomer with an interface similar to Nuke-Natron (). Adobe used it to move artwork from Illustrator to Flash and After Effects.Īffinity-from what has been stated on this forum-is not looking to create animation/motion graphics software (although, personally, I think this is a mistake.but have to respect their position. It was originally created to move animation-ready artwork from Freehand to Flash. Release to Layers: This was a feature that Adobe hijacked from Macromedia Freehand when they acquired Macromedia over 10 years ago. Designer most likely (unless the devs are working on something I don't know about) will never have "Smart Objects." That being said, it DOES have Embedded Document Editing for artwork created in Designer. While I do understand the question (like many of you, I also have a ton of work previously done in AI and/or PS that may/may not have utilized Smart Objects), it's time to realize that Adobe left us behind and we chose to move on with Affinity. Smart Objects: STOP asking the devs if "Smart Objects" will ever be included in Affinity Designer or Photo. The point is that there are certain features that Adobe popularized in their products that are NOT ever likely to be included in Designer and Photo because they are ADOBE features. "Smart Objects" was created to increase sales of Photoshop and Illustrator for InDesign and GoLive users (not to mention that Adobe was in bed with whomever owned Maya at the time there were video tutorials at the time that have long since vanished about using Maya with Photoshop and smart objects to dynamically adjust content in InDesign and GoLive). "Release to Layers" was put there so that they could sell Flash and AE to Illustrator users (and the inverse is also true). All of the functionality that Adobe put in most of their products was simply to make the user buy more than one of it's products. Just remember one thing.Affinity Designer is NOT Illustrator and Affinity Photo is NOT Photoshop. I just recently answered a question helping a user move his AD assets to After Effects and felt the overdue need to post this statement: I didn't know where else to put this topic so I figured "Feature Requests" was as good a place as any.
