New skill: /find-animation-opportunities
Search your UI for places that would genuinely benefit from motion, while also telling you what not to animate.
Higgsfield MCP/Plugin for After Effects just got upgraded.
Powered by Fable 5.
1. Build your own AE plugins
2. Drop in your reference and it decomposes into editable vector layers you can animate
3. AI assistant that answers or does it for you
4. Localize a project seamlessly
Same prompt, different AI vision 👀
Tested GPT Image 2 and Seedream 5.0 Pro with the same idea.
Then used Seedance 2.0 to animate both results 🎬#AIVideo# #GenerativeAI# #AIArt# #AIFilmmaking#
AI filmmaking is insane!
House of the Dragon reportedly costs $20 million per episode.
Now you can create Hollywood-level dragon shots from your bedroom with Seedance.
My workflow:
1. Make a start frame in Midjourney
2. Block-out in Blender, animate the camera
3. Feed both to Seedance
You can build a whole cinematic universe from a handful of blocks.
Split layout framework update. Since the last video: focus views animate, corner drags can move both axes, cross-window drag and drop with animation, all animations backed by CoreAnimation, and full accessibility framework integration (e.g. compat with VoiceOver).
The focus view work was the hardest and most complicated. We allow caller-provided SwiftUI views for the focus style, but have to drop that back to a native AppKit/UIKit hosted view for smooth CoreAnimation integration with our other animations so they move in lock-step with our other stuff.
Lot of work to get that to work, but I think it turned out great. The caller lives in easy SwiftUI land we handle that complexity.
The animation timings and curves need to be tweaked. I think some animations are too long or don't feel right. But thats just parameterization at this point...
Seedance 2.0 is insane.
Blender previs is having a moment in AI filmmaking for a reason.
I wanted to see how far I could push the workflow beyond a simple camera move in an ambush scene.
The workflow:
1. Make a start image in Midjourney
2. Block it out in Blender, animate the camera
3. Feed both to Seedance
The more I test this pipeline, the more convinced I am that hybrid pipelines are the future. The conversation is moving fast but previs is one of the clearest unlocks so far.
Seedance still isn't perfect at matching the reference but it's close.
You can experiment with staging, timing, and camera movement before you ever touch the video model.
Solve the scene before you generate the shot.
