One of the biggest takeaways for me from my video editing and animation studies has been color correction. Even though what I learned is pretty basic, it’s been really helpful for sprucing up video compositions that lack color, quality, or good contrast. I don’t claim to be an expert on the subject—mastering video color correction is a whole other world within editing, requiring dedicated study, mastering techniques, and proficiency with various tools. However, I want to share a few basic tips I’ve picked up so you can breathe some life into your videos.
I was recently going through my cloud storage files to delete what I no longer needed. Now that I'm doing animation work, I need all the storage space I can get. While I was checking which files to delete and which to keep, I came across some photos of PS3 discs that I had taken to post them for trade in a Facebook group dedicated to that. I'm sure that the act of trading games with friends and other people barely exists anymore, but could we say that this is the end of video games in physical format?
Perhaps very few people understand the reference, but I always joke with my little girl that she must have been a ninja turtle in a past life because she loves pizza so much! The photos I'm about to share are from 2019, from two separate occasions within the same week where my little one begged me for pizza. The easy thing to do would have been to order out or pick some up, but we usually make our own pizza at home.
Yesterday was a huge day – I finally graduated from my After Effects course! It's been a little over three months of diving deep into the program. Every day, I'd hop on a Zoom call with my instructor and a bunch of other students for a two-hour class. Juggling full-time work and night classes wasn't easy, but I'm used to the grind – I mean, I already have an engineering degree!
I think I say the same thing in every post about artificial intelligence: we're achieving things that were unimaginable just a couple of years ago. For those of us who weren't deep into programming, we never thought this tech would leap forward so exponentially. One of the most impressive leaps has been in video creation.
I recently published a simple tutorial on how to create the rotoscoping effect in CapCut, but little did I know that just a few days later, this editor would become a completely paid option. Although you can still download it and use many of its features for free, your exported videos will have a watermark. In light of this situation, I started looking for an editor with the same options that was still free to use, and that's how I found VN.
