The Missing Video: Sonicfire Pro + After EffectsHow we go back and forth between video and music to enhance how they work together.
A few years ago, SmartSound commissioned us to create video training on how an editor or motion graphics designer could start in their Sonicfire Pro intelligent stock music software to select a soundtrack for a commercial, edit the source clips in After Effects (or any NLE, for that matter) to match the music, and then go back into Sonicfire to massage the music to work better with the now-edited video and voiceover. This video is theoretically still available on SmartSound’s web site, but has become hard to find since they updated their site to tout their latest version (SFP5). As we think it still contains some very useful advice on how one can work more effectively with music and video, we got permission to re-post it here. Although it is specific to Sonicfire and After Effects, the concepts it contains have broad application (especially the middle section “Spotting and Editing to a Soundtrack”).

Convincing Lawmakers with Motion Graphics
Clean, simple 3D animation sells a rolling stop
Before you get all engulfed in the new product announcements sure to flow out of the NAB frenzy next week, take a look at a beautifully executed animation in support of what appears to be an incredibly sensible law that only one state has passed in almost 30 years - allowing bikes to come to a rolling stop. Made by Spencer Boomhower and found on the Bike Portland site, it’s really worth checking out.
Motion Graphics Mix
A Little Visual Inspiration
From Smashing Magazine, here are some very different examples of great motion graphics and visual effects work.
