Why dont they get bullied on X as well?

[–] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 5 points 6 days ago

Consider X's current audience and you'll have your answer

What would be a good alternative to Adobe After Effects ? Something that works in the same way.

[–] glowing_hans@sopuli.xyz 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (3 children)

I only used kdenlive an open source Video editor, I do not know how similar it is to AE though. With kdenlive I can …

  • cut and arange video snippets in a timeline
  • apply effects like transform/lens (many more) to video
  • I can apply simple audio effects with the pitch effect, or generate white noise. Slow down Video
  • they have AI-effects and audio editing in their roadmap

Sounds similar to AE from what I read on its wiki entry

[–] pajam@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

That is a video editor much like Adobe Premier or Final Cut Pro, so would not be a replacement for AE. After Effects is essentially Photoshop but with motion and animation. It's mostly for VFX and Motion Graphics. Not video editing or audio.

I use Blender for that, too. Anything I don't do in Blender I probably do in emacs...

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 days ago

I use Blender for video editing, and as long as I never use another video editing package, I am sure to remain perfectly happy with Blender.

Thanks for sharing, This might be good enough in the future looking at the roadmap.

Some brilliant people invented photoshop

It was a good product but expensive

Some asshole coke head CEO decided to make it more expensive and worse.

Fuck adobe.

GIMP 3 FTW

[–] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 3 points 6 days ago

Big GIMP fan. That being said, Adobe needs to start promoting some of their actually good stuff, like their investment in the open C2PA spec for proving content authenticity, vs constant AI crap that is the exact opposite.

And they bought Macromedia’s suite and destroyed it.

GIMP 3, Krita, Darktable, Inkscape, Kdenlive

[–] kazerniel@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

if you poke around graphic design as a hobby, these might be fine, but not for professional use from what I've read :/

e.g. apparently Inkscape still can't really do CMYK

We should all be bullying companies more.. Less bullying people and more bullying companies and orgs!!

Yes people make up a company blah blah blah.. Don't care. Just don't bully the people working there.

[–] SpicyColdFartChamber@lemm.ee 128 points 1 week ago (10 children)

And billionaires, especially the Nazis variety.

I quite enjoyed Elon getting bullied over POE2 stream.

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago

Bullying a bully is not bullying.

I can't see any screenshots from the article, all require a bluesky account. At least on twitter you could see images without login before the takeover. I'm alright if a for profit websites hides "their" content behind a login wall, it's their choice, but how lazy is this "journalism" where they don't copy the images, they just link to the original tweets or whatever they called on bluesky.

adobe will charge you $20 a month to read their skeets then charge a $100 cancellation fee if you want to stop following them.
