    [Shawn Miller] “I’m curious, can Motion renders be handed off to Compressor? I’m also wondering if Motion can do multi-machine renders. “

    Yes, you can send to Compressor and hence create a batch for processing – a workflow I’ve tested but not actually used yet, but it’s a nice suggestion. (Although, sending to Compressor, from my experience, is a bit slow and sludgy and potentially adds a lot more time than you might be saving …)

    I’m guessing that you could do multi-machine renders that way, but that I haven’t tried.

    That is nice. Is it just for image sequences like AE, or can Compressor compile frames from different machines into single files?

    I have to confess it’s a long time since I used Compressor having moved over entirely to AME in the last couple of years, simply because it gets most jobs done way faster, but yes, it segments and recombines across multiple machines and not just for image sequences – or at least it used to when I last tried.

    Very nice. I wish the AME could do that. If it could, I would send everything out for network rendering… I guess I could make a feature request. 🙂

    [Simon Ubsdell] “Sometimes what’s missing is not the tools but the knowledge of how to create effects – and your own “tools” – out of the simplest building blocks.”

    not fair – you’re sat snug inside that stately mind palace. Not for everyone to preconceive any given outcome inside any point of a tool chain.
    That’s why God invented after effects. It has decision gravity.

    That’s a great list. If you’re a developer in Venice, CA, you go, “Hey dude, we need to fix all this stuff. But why?”

    The devil’s advocate is all: “Well, AE has Cineware built right in.”

    “Yeah….That’s where we should start: a 3D module.”

    “People are gonna laugh at us for the 3D text.”

    “That’s ok. Once the camera, textures, and lighting is built in, we can fix the camera tracker and make masks extrude, from the masks they made in X.”

    lol… your image of Venice is outdated. it’s all Latté swilling yuppies and tourists now. And gang-bangers of course, they never left. The surfers have mostly moved on… 😉

    [Richard Herd] “”Sweet bra. Let’s go surf.””

    That’s a funny thing to say before going “surfing”?

    Brah, maybe? Or Bruh if you’re midwestern?

    [Simon Ubsdell] “Attend to the Clouds generator – this is a fundamental procedural building block but the current implementation is really amateurish and is a serious stumbling block to achieving good-looking results.

    please Mr. Simon, tell me say… five interesting, generally unthought of things, that can be initiated with the cloud generator, which I guess is basically fractal noise, that you might do.

    I use AE turbulent displace once in a blue moon? which is a shortcut to some of the outcomes, but spill some hidden knowledge sure. I’m curious? Is it all distort type stuff?
