As I mentioned in my previous post, I spent a little time playing with DaVinci Resolve as a possible replacement for HitFilm. During that time, I managed to recreate one of my old HitFilm tutorial effects in a more dynamic way than the original, and I figured that I’d share it here. (Just to be clear, I haven’t touched Resolve in the better part ofRead More »DaVinci Resolve: Dice Effect
It’s been ages since I posted anything here. I’ve been meaning to overhaul the site and get away from WordPress, but that’s on the back burner until I can make up my mind what tech stack I want to use. Anyway, here are some long-overdue updates. (This is looking to be a long post, but please bear with me, as getting all of this outRead More »Long overdue update
Two tweenMachine updates in a month?! Yeah, crazy…believe me, I get it! But it’s real! So imagine my surprise when I woke up yesterday to an email from Andrew Silke over at Create 3D Characters, who shared that tweenMachine has just been added to the latest update of Zoo Tools Pro! They didn’t just slap it in, though—they’ve supercharged it! You can see the responsivenessRead More »tweenMachine now in Zoo Tools Pro!
My tweenMachine tool has had a long and slightly bumpy history. After turning over development to Alex Widener in early 2018, I had high hopes for its continued development and growth. However, aside from having a GitHub repo created for it, not much else was done. I kept checking back periodically to see if there was any progress, but sadly there wasn’t. Then in mid-2021,Read More »New tweenMachine developer: Wade Schneider
While I’ve been posting my All About That Base adventures here for a while, I’ve always wanted a dedicated site just for that stuff. That time is NOW! AllAboutThatBase.tips is where you can find all of my Airtable stuff from now on. It’s going to take a little time to migrate everything over there, but for starters you can find a field reference table thatRead More »New website for all things Airtable
I don’t want to dwell too much on the struggles of last year, but one of them was just keeping up with personal projects, including both of my YouTube channels. While I did get some videos done at various points, not all of them got plugged here, so this is going to be a mass catch-up post. Clever Tagline The last video posted to theRead More »January 2021 Updates
I’m a little behind in promoting these, but here they are! First up, a video showing a series of tips for using Airtable’s date fields, including an undocumented trick: This one contains a quick fix for names that aren’t capitalized correctly. Using a single formula, you can go from BOB to Bob, or from arnold to Arnold. Learn more here:
A couple years ago, when I was still a young YouTube punk, I made a very short tutorial on how to zoom in on a tracked subject. Little did I know that my “shorter is better” approach would not be appreciated by all viewers. To remedy that, I just published a new video that goes into the kind of detail that I should have includedRead More »New Video: Zoom into a Track Redux!
A new page has been added to the site: HitFilm Project Files. I don’t have a lot of things to put there yet, but as stuff gets released on the Clever Tagline channel, I’ll toss related project files over there. The first entry is a project file for a short test (shown below) that I made in late 2017, playing around with the then-new PuppetRead More »New Page: HitFilm Project Files
Okay, this is just a teeny bit miraculous: it’s only been two weeks since the last Clever Tagline video went up, and there’s another one ready to go! This one started a little over a year ago as a test, which was posted to a “Testing” playlist on the channel, filed loosely in the back of my mind for a future tutorial, and largely forgotten.Read More »New Video: Animate Anything Along a Path in HitFilm
