PVC’s Rich you g’s January After Effects Roundup
Always a must for other After Effects Addicts!
PVC’s Jeff Foster on AI Tools: Video & Animation Advances for 2025
Yea, aligns with what I have seen so far. Some stuff with AI can be impressive but getting exactly what you want is a crap should and takes so much itineraries. And you often just can’t get exactly what you want. And just have to fudge it.
Jonny Elwyn on Artist.io’s best new features of 2025
Artist.io’s best new features of 2025.
Having used Artist.io and being quite impressed by it’s B-Roll library, I do love that they keep adding new stuff. And it’s low price (though subscription) for having music and b-roll is impressive in itself, but to have AI based VO is enough, but it does keep getting better.
PVC Premiere Pro Tool Tip on better movement with Ease In & Motion Blur
I do love that Transform has the ability to do motion blur, but they should just add motion blur to the normal motion effect so more people will know it is there.
postPerspective on Goosebumps Season 2 VFX Supervisors
An interview with the 2 VFX Supervisors from postPerspective.
I hadn’t realized that Goodebumps is an anthology series, and would be different every season, but I enjoyed the first season so will check it out for sure.
ArsTechnica on PassKey and how it has failed
From Dan Goodwin at ArsTechnica.
It is so true, PassKey sounded so promising, but instead it is useless. First off since you have tot have a password and a PassKey means you gain no security benefits. And since every login is different, most the time there isn’t even an option to login using your PasKey.
Making me feel really old, MacRumors on today being the 41st anniversary of the Mac
From Hartley Charlton at MacRumors, Apple’s Macintosh Turns 41 Today.
Holy Cow, does this make me feel old. I has an Apple IIc with Green only monitor before I had a Macintosh (in fact I didn’t have a Mac until the Mac Classic, which I still have), but I do remember using the Mac + in School. OMG it was so amazing. It just changed everything.
And of course I still use one today (with a little use of a Microsoft surface, though I still had a Mac too).
Premiere Pro Beta ads visual search!
Now in Premiere Pro (beta), AI-powered Media Intelligence automatically identifies visuals such as people, objects, location, camera angles, and more across thousands of clips in seconds. With the new Search panel, use natural language to find these visuals, plus spoken words in transcripts or clips with embedded metadata like shoot date, location, or camera type – all at the same time. The media intelligence analysis is faster than real time and runs locally on your computer, there is no internet connection required. Your media and searches are never used to train Adobe’s AI models.
This new search can help you at any stage of your edit, whether you’re diving into organizing hours of new footage, or you need to quickly find that one shot you know you’ve seen before.
This is awesome, and I can’t wait to try it out as this is AI truly helping an editor vs being something to replace an editor (though it will certain hasten less need for assistant editors).
And here is the page on Adobe for the new feature.
