𝐅𝐄𝐁𝐑𝐔𝐀𝐑𝐘 DAY 1 ˖ 2/2 trying to download AE 2025 → unexpectedly, I successfully did

DAY 2 ˖ 2/4 tried to start an edit

• mostly fumbled on how to use this twixtor thingy and I just got stuck finding out how to put a keyframe
• started to contemplate why I'm doing this at all. are people honestly picking this because it's easier to use in the long run compared to apps like capcut/am/vs? I feel like it actually gives more creative freedom, definitely, but it's just so humbling to not know where the basic actions are. I remember feeling the same way when I started editing using capcut, just threefold of the experience this time
• forgive me, I'm just airing out my thoughts as I go, but #TRUST that I will figure it out or give up, who knows
  • ✳ twixtor pro

DAY 3 ˖ 2/5 attempt #2

• tried some fx, I say #tried bcos I'm not yet sure how much exactly I retained from those minutes
  • ✳ fx console
  • ◌ brightness & contrast, hue/saturation, exposure, twixtor pro
  • ✔ keyframes

DAY 4 ˖ 2/6 continuing #2

• finally got adobe media encoder (they say this lets me render faster, by how much we don't know yet)
  • ✳ magic bullet, deep glow (so much struggle actually... had to find the right version that works for me, this was a big help), adobe media encoder
  • ◌ looks
  • ★ 1

DAY 5 ˖ 2/9 learning how to do more texts (1/n)

• ✳ sapphire 2024, bcc 2024 (26/02/11 #uninstalled)
• ✔ how to download and apply free cc from other editors
• ★ 2

DAY 6 ˖ 2/11 learning how to do more texts (2/n)

• didn't start any edit today. just worked ("studied") on doing text animations
• ✳ bcc 2025, deep glow v1 & v2 (turns out the one I downloaded last time was just a trial)

DAY 7 ˖ 2/12 tried some fx

• finally comfortable saving fx I make as presets
  • ✔ how to do a watermark for my intro with my signature
  • ✳ handbrake
  • ★ 3

DAY 8 ˖ 2/18 getting more comfortable

• I only finished the edit I did yesterday which I do not count since I only cut clips and put twixtor on them. I wasn't exactly having any other inspiration this week, except it was the first frost's 1st anniversary! today, I added effects & finished the whole thing. I'm still grasping straws when fixing the quality. I really want to have my own style especially in my color grading. not really aiming for THAT THAT unique, but I just want to explore.
  • ✔ keyframes, blurmo*something*, saving presets (love this)
  • ◌ handbrake
  • ★ 4
