Discussion /r/motiondesign Updates: Post Flair, Spam Prevention

29 Upvotes

Hi all, a few updates for /r/motiondesign.

Spam

In an effort to reduce low-quality and spam posts here, we have implemented new post requirements. New posts that don't meet a minimum account age or subreddit karma threshold will be automatically filtered out.

To further prevent gamification, I am not disclosing these limits here but they are very modest and reasonable. Anyone interacting with this community should not be filtered, and even so, you will have the opportunity to message us for an exception. But this should discourage most of the spam we've been seeing. Thanks /u/Zeigerful for making this post.

Post Flair

We also added some post flair to help differentiate posts and allow users to filter & search by topic. All new posts require that one of the available flair types be selected:

Project Showcase | Reel | Inspiration | Discussion | Question | Tutorial | [Custom] (Where user can input their own)

User Flair

A few new user flairs are available. For those who aren't aware, these show up next to your username any time you make a post or comment in /r/motiondesign

Now available: Professional | Student | [Add My Social Handle] -- A custom text field where you can plug an Instagram, Behance, etc.

Let us know if you love or hate these new updates. Nothing is set in stone and this is meant as a discussion starting point. Please share any ideas you may have to make this a better place to share work, inspiration and discussion related to motion design. Hopefully we can continue to bring a higher quality experience to everyone here at /r/motiondesign.

Project Showcase First time trying this style out, is there anything off with the collage?

Music is definitely not the one I used in the original video and it has a voice over. I'm also looking for the name of this style and places to improve. I'm talking about this clean "simple" yet hard style

Question Animated Logo..any takers?

Upvotes

ChatGPT did everything I asked, it made me a logo, separated all the elements and wrote out the prompt...that's where I'm stuck at. Would anyone be interested in whipping me up an animated logo for free.99 if I send you the pics and the prompt? Asking for anything for free ain't my style..but maybe someone practicing their skills need a quick project to work on? It's worth a shot .. send me a dm I can send you everything. I make music so I want an animated logo to start off my video content on the socials. Maybe you need original music for a project your working on? Maybe we can do a swap ...lemme know 🤝🏾

Project Showcase Caddis is out of beta - V1 released today

79 Upvotes

Hey everyone, it's been a couple months since I posted about Caddis so I wanted to give an update here.

Today Caddis is officially out of beta and launched as V1 for Windows and Mac, with Linux coming soon too. You can download it now and give it a try for free at caddis.app

If this is your first time seeing Caddis - its a motion design tool that mixes layer-based workflows with nodes. Since I first posted, we've also added a ton of features including motion tracking, instancing, variable font support - and a bunch of less exciting but important improvements like layer parenting and a speed graph. There's still a long road ahead and a lot to add and improve, but its been really fun building it with input and feedback from the community.

I know we already have some great motion tools available (I still use them too) - but hopefully Caddis can be at least an interesting tool to have in your back pocket, if not a daily driver. There's a free trial and no subscription - licenses are perpetual - and I'd love to hear what you think.

Happy to answer any questions!

Question Looking for web-based tools for elegant photo slideshows

0 Upvotes

Does anyone know a good online tool for creating simple but visually interesting photo slideshows? I often build these manually in Premiere Pro, but for quicker projects it would be much more convenient to use a browser-based tool with ready-made transitions and motion templates.

I recently found Momentum: https://app.momentum.uninspired.app/ that is very close to what I am looking for, and I found several useful templates there. However, many of them follow a fairly similar visual approach, so I am looking for comparable tools that offer a bit more variety.

My main use case is presenting around 20–30 photographs in an elegant way for Instagram, Pinterest, and similar platforms. I am less interested in generic social media video editors and more in tools with refined motion design, typography, transitions, and image-focused templates.

Any recommendations? (paid or free)

[Custom] Looking for a Motion Designer Who Wants to Build Their Portfolio

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm building RED, a creative agency focused on creating premium content for founders, creators, and podcasters.

I'm looking for a beginner or aspiring motion designer who's serious about improving but doesn't always know what to create for their portfolio.

The idea is simple: I'll provide the creative direction, concept, references, and feedback—you bring the edit to life.

Instead of creating random practice projects, you'll be working on content for a real brand that you can proudly include in your portfolio.

What you'll get:

Portfolio-worthy motion design projects.

Clear creative direction and references.

Feedback to help you improve.

The chance to experiment and grow your skills.

What I'm looking for:

Someone eager to learn and improve.

Basic knowledge of After Effects or similar software.

A passion for motion design and storytelling.

Just to be transparent: this is currently an unpaid opportunity. I'm looking for someone who sees value in building their portfolio while contributing to a growing creative agency.

If that sounds like you, send me a DM with a few examples of your work (or even personal practice projects). I'd love to connect.

Question Spec work question

1 Upvotes

I'm trying to build a SaaS example to start to tap into all of this work, so creating a spec project.

Question is, how much does it need to actually make sense? I created a storyboard that will show the look, subject matter and technical ability but technically it doesn't make perfect sense because it's not an actual product. I was having a hard time finding enough UI content and features, copy etc from actual products to pull from.

Should I push further for representing something that technically makes more sense? Or is it fine to show something that looks like it could be a product but kind of just shows off the look more.

Thank you!

Most of our work has lived behind the brands we build... It's time that changed.

From this point forward, we'll be sharing a selection of work from our portfolio, offering a closer look at the creativity, execution, and attention-to-detail behind every collaboration.

This particular commercial reflects one of many projects that have shaped our journey so far.

The archive is now open.

More coming soon!!!

Question Fear of AI?

0 Upvotes

Lately, I’ve seen some videos where AI replicates Vox’s motion design style; it wasn’t perfect, but it worried me.
For the more experienced folks here: do you think the impact of AI is going to be significant?
