[@yuvrajsingh-gm6zk]

your pase building is so sick and what to tell about the background music, it's just insane. where did you learn from?

[@MotionXP]

Thanks so much! It's been a lot of trial and error to be honest...as well as an obsession with trying to make videos as engaging as possible. Still a work in progress 🙃

[@omriwr]

Thanks, love your videos, man!

[@MotionXP]

[@cath0dictube]

awesome concise well designed content, instant subscribe. but can we get a hair care routine video?

[@MotionXP]

😂 If a hair routine video is what the people want...its what they'll get 🙃

[@thosearepinklemons]

Unless I'm doing it wrong, the echo effect smear doesn't work well with an outlined shape since it will show copies of the shape inside the negative space rather than look like its warping due to movement.

[@canturan3310]

You should have been my teacher at school!!

[@MotionXP]

😊😊

[@zskdroid]

Great explanation btw nice Valorant like outro

[@MotionXP]

Thanks! Thats a good eye you have...I used valorant as a reference when I made it 👌

[@shittyyedits]

hey can i get the graph on these keyframes for the movement of the circle pls in the echo effect

[@MotionXP]

Grab the free project file and you see exactly how the sausage was made! 😉

[@lukeligo7079]

I didn't understand how the "face" and "circle" layer wasn't showing on 3:36, can you explain?

[@MotionXP]

I keyframed the opacity of the face and circle using hold keyframes so that both layers have zero opacity during the time the smear frames are on screen. Let me know if that makes sense.

[@lukeligo7079]

@@MotionXP I get know, thanks

[@britchin]

do smear frames with the echo effect only work on moving objects? mine is rotating in place:/

[@MotionXP]

A rotating object should work with the echo effect! Unless of course the rotating object is a flat colour circle (for obvious reasons 🙃)

[@brandondohner8061]

How do you feel about Cartoon Moblur?

[@MotionXP]

I think the main thing is to distinguish between trails and smears...Cartoon Moblur seems awesome for creating aesthetic trails but if you wanted to use it for smears you would probably have to mess around with keyframing some of the properties.

[@brandondohner8061]

@@MotionXP thanks!

[@MaramBakry]

so generative Ai was learning from smear frames after all 🤣

[@MotionXP]

😂😂 👏👏 Bravo!

[@amberalvia1101]

There's no right or wrong way of making smears, everyone has their own style, nobody draws smears the same way.
