How Perfectionism Destroyed My Creativity (And How I Got It Back)
Переглядів 511Місяць тому
Self doubt and perfectionism have stopped me from doing a lot of things because I was worried I wasn't good enough or that no one would like what I have to offer. In this video I'll talk about my story with self-doubt, how my perfectionism affected my work and the strategies I used to not just overcome my thoughts but also make friends with my inner critic. My guide to self-doubt and perfection...
I Left After Effects For This
Переглядів 132 тис.2 місяці тому
I have been looking for years for a good After Effects alternative for 2D motion graphics, and there just hasn't been anything that really hit the nail on the head for me. That was until my viewers recommended Cavalry to me, which is a FREE alternative to After Effects with a focus on animation. So in this video, I tried out Cavalry for a few weeks to compare it to After Effects. Check Out Cava...

    I have a product, and hundreds of allover pattern designs, I need images of each one. Is there a way to do this fast instead of doing each one manually?

    • @MichaelSturgill
      @MichaelSturgill 11 годин тому

      If you have a template, you should be able to drag in multiple images or patterns and then just toggle the layers and export each one. It may also depend on the product, but I'm not aware of any other way to bulk edit like this in Affinity Photo.

    Why is the wording from this video almost exactly like The School of Digital Marketing video (ua-cam.com/video/JsICCLD9jdc/v-deo.htmlsi=d1LdIYedrKZL1tgO)? 4:13 on this video versus 3:35 on that video. Which is the real content creator?

    This worries me because I used to use Hitfilm and it got bought by Artlist and now it’s just completely dead they’ve not done an update this year at all. I hate when bigger companies buy the small guys, they always come up with something worse or in Hitfilms case just let it rot.

    Not taking anything away from Cavalry at all, but you do realize that After Effects actually comes with a whole category of text animation presets. Create your text, center it, drop Fly in from Bottom and Fade up from the Effects > Animation Presets>Text>Animate In onto your text, open advanced and change to by line for both and you are done. If you want to do it by character, word, or line, just change it in the drop down under advanced. Drag your keyframes for percentage complete to shorten or lengthen the effect, etc. A very large number of those presets work together really well, so you can combine them into some pretty complex text animations fairly quickly. Again, not taking anything away from Cavalry or your choice, but sometimes it's just being more familiar with the tool.

    You are a goat! I’m a vlogger, but I like to make talking head videos like this one often. I use the ZV-1F and I’m looking to upgrade. I want better autofocus (this camera is know to have jittery autofocus, and I noticed this when I watch on larger screens) I want a full frame camera, with true 4k quality. 24-30fps to be exact. I also want better cinematic quality (especially in low light)… I guess I want the fx30… but I still want something less expensive than that. I want to ease my way into these higher end cameras. What do you Recommend? I know this can take my videos to the next level.

    • @Lor_Kreny
      @Lor_Kreny 9 днів тому

      Oh, and budget isn’t of no concern 😂

    • @MichaelSturgill
      @MichaelSturgill 9 днів тому

      Thank you! I will say that I absolutely love my FX30 and highly recommend it. You don't have to use the advanced features, you can just stick to recording how you might expect from the ZV-1F until you get more comfortable with it. Another option you could consider that's a bit cheaper is the ZV-E10. Otherwise, if you are set on getting a full frame for the best low light performance, then the A7IV is probably one of the best bets. Hope this helps!

    • @Lor_Kreny
      @Lor_Kreny 9 днів тому

      @ yeah I checked the A7ii out, and I’m a fan of the camera overall… but imma pass ONLY because of that rolling shutter, and that 4k 60fps crop. It’s nasty and very noticeable for me. Plus… the Fx30 is more valuable for the price. I guess I answered my own question 😂 I’m so sorry lol. Still, it’s great having a conversation with someone that understands cameras. Thank you! U will see more of me in the comments

    If you run the whole Adobe suite, you're kinda numb. No one in their right mind does anything else than exactly what they need within Adobe. Or you got too much money to spill. Lightroom is specialised, It's very few complete competitors. That and Illustrator, for my use. It's the only thing I will want to pay for from Adobe. Everything else has better alternatives. Welcome to the dark side Michael ;) ..this is the right time to also leave ALL subscription based services. Yes, also spotify.

    I've been on and off video editors, DaVinci resolve is the most reliable although slightly laggy and buggy at times. For art/image editing, I use Clip Studio Paint which I actually don't recommend mainly because it's not open source and it has a lot of spam/bloatware in the addons market place (Not to mention is scummy). Still looking for an alternative to the art software. I came from Photoshop initially and with video editing I came from Vegas Pro and Filmora. I don't regret the switches. There's no stupid subscription cost or obstacles. It's just there when I need it, can be installed anywhere anytime.

    I see one scenario as continuation of a one off purchase base with maybe version upgrades at a fraction of new licence cost. I use topaz and it is awesome but each year the price is full cost for a year's worth of upgrade. Having left Adobe as soon as they went subscription, I embrace ai as another creative tool and would see this as a potential reason to justify incremental updates with a fractional pricing. Ultimately as a creative I think we need to see competition and not monopoly within the tool market place.

    I'd have happily paid a couple of hundred quid to adobe to allow me to use my old CS5 on a new computer. But as my only alternative seems to be to pay £650 quid a year for cloud/AI software I don't want, it enraged me so much that was provoked into trying affinity this week. So far I have only explored Publisher. Now, having tried it, I'd choose Publisher over CS5 ID even if they were both free, you'd have to pay ME to use ID. For my needs affinity publisher is better, faster, and more intuitive (and I've been on ID since CS1). It was easier to change over than to cope with ID upgrades. Photo is next in my list to explore.
