If you want the real thing, you might want to check out Microsoft Visual Basic Express (assuming you want a windows-style gui).
This may or may not work well for you, as of course its not scalable vector art, but if you just need a quick realistic gui, I’d say its the way to go. Its a totally free application and you build a gui by simply dragging and dropping the components that you want.
You might also want to check it out just to have good reference images of all the various windows widgets, if you want to recreate them in illustrator or whatever. Pretty much everything you would want is in there.Its a totally free download at: https://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/vb/
Plus there are free training videos here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/vb/learning/
The first 2 vids should walk you through everything you need to be able to make a gui. -
I am thinking we will probably hear something either this month or in January. It’s just not like Adobe to let their products be shown off too far in advance, and a new version is has been due for some time now.
I am REALLY hoping better rotoscoping tools are available, although nothing was mentioned on the video that was released. I will be quite disappointed if its not there. -

Here is a sample from the video I am thinking of. Perhaps it is a different type of thing than what the original poster was referring to.
https://zarxrax.kicks-ass.net/infinite_zoom.mpg (1MB)It seems to be a whole bunch of copies of some layers being scaled down, but they dont all go at the same speed, and as it progresses note how it moves towards one side.

I am curious about how to do this effect as well, could someone explain how it works? Do you just zoom it one time, and then copy and paste that over and over? Because I have seen a video where it is zooming really fast and goes by like 1000 times, getting faster and faster… seems like that would be insane to do all those manually.

If you are using Windows, you can use a program called VirtualDub. If you are on a Mac then I have no idea. I have heard maybe Quicktime?

After Effects does not work well with codecs like that. Try re-encoding it to a lossless or uncompressed codec.

Hi, I am learning blender too 🙂
It seems like a great program though the interface is a little clunky to me.
I unfortunately don’t think there is any way to do what you are asking though. I could be wrong of course, but I don’t think there is. Probably all you can do is just save an avi or quicktime from blender and bring that into AE. -
Those unexplained layers are mostly lens flares that he added. He uses about 4 of them at various spots in his movie.
Assuming you have the noise set up properly, and its all inside of one composition, you simply want to scale that composition down vertically, and add some vertical motion as well, and simply add some lens flare to it.If you examine his movie frame by frame, it helps to see whats going on.
He has one lens flare layer at the very beginning. The you see 2 layers called “stripe”. If you examine the movie, right after the first lens flare as the video is expanding, you can see 2 horizontal glowing lines at the top and bottom of the video. These are pretty subtle and you probably don’t need them. They do help to add a little to the illusion though.
Then he has a couple layers called “flash”. These are just really short lens flares before the final lens flare. Examining frame by frame you should see it there at the end. I only see one “flash” at the end, so I assume one of those flash layers is merely a helper for the other somehow.
Finally there is the final lens flare. -
Yep, I always use square pixels.
