Ballyboy Asks a Question

Yeah me too I’ve only got 8gb however but now is the time to re-equip for hopefully better times ahead

NB These are suggestions and personal remarks. What works for one person might not work for another so please don't take what I say as gospel

I like the better times remark:

If you can max out your computer's RAM then it will help with whatever you use your computer for. But its also a good idea to ensure that you can maximise the potential of your existing RAM.

Booting up from an SSD is a real game changer because it allows your apps to utilise the increased speed of SSD while giving your existing internal had drive space to save more files.

For the record I have a 2017 Mac Mini with 16 GB RAM and boot using Catalina on an external SSD:

Crucial Computers also have a tool which can scan your computer and make recommendations on what to upgrade:

Is the template for the 2008 bbc regional news look available or not?.

No.

The template supplied by me was made by me as a recreation - why don't you try and make one yourself and share with others or learn how to do it, the tools and hints are in this thread already

It can be very confidence building creating your own templates as well as being very cathartic given what's going on right now. I've been working on a few myself and while the results wouldn't be broadcast standard by any stretch of the imagination its reassuring to see how things work.

This guy nailed it, Quite useful example https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1BgB6BXK4wQ

With respect to them, that looks like a blurry mess.

Having looked at the project files, they're on the right path, but the endboard isn't quite right (the CC Sphere never animated on in the originals, it was simply 'moved' on an axis into place). Few things like the XML lines missing too - the effects with the red tint were far more subtle than people realised.

A good recreation though - unsure why the original author would set everything to 10fps though...

Would you recreate that for midlands today?

Hi,

Can anyone recommend any helpful video tutorials for AE for more advanced projects?

There is this from Youtube:

I got my after effects renewed and I’m so stuck. can anyone help me explain the 2008 regional news project from the start like step by step please? 👏👏👏👏👏

This would be an interesting skill to learn to me too.
