Motion Design Toolkit
Scary professional software
Most importantly, a motion designer must be able to work with professional software. We have already written a review article, what software we use - you can familiarize yourself with it.
The choice of software strongly depends on the style of motion design used in the video. The big difference is moving 2D or 3D or 2.5D objects, or aligning one with the other.
As for a short list of the main tools - I have them! Graphic, 3d and video editors in the studio:
Adobe After Effects
The first and fundamental program for this profession, bread and butter for the modern motion designer. Today's main tool for creating 2D and simple 3D animation.
The professional community of motion designers on Vkontakte is even named after the program. There you will find a lot on the topic. We warn you: a lot of trolling and specifics in communication, checkmate 🙂 Be careful and respectful to other participants.
Adobe Illustrator
The most popular vector graphics software.
The bread of any illustrator and graphic designer. It is the motion designer who needs only the basics in this software. If you go 2D, you will have to study deeper. If in 3D - you need it to a minimum.
Adobe Photoshop
Also more for illustrators, only for working with raster graphics. Seamlessly integrates with After Effects.
Adobe Premiere Pro
Adobe Premier
A video editor with tremendous possibilities. Editing directors are used primarily, but a motion designer also needs to be able to work with him to the same extent as he plans to comprehend the art of editing.
Cinema4D
Universal complex package for creating, editing and animating 3D models, objects, effects. The main feature is user friendliness. Many of our 3D videos are mostly made with this software.
Autodesk Maya
Mayan
The most powerful 3D graphics editor that is widely used in professional circles, especially among animators. Favorite tool for video game creators.
Houdini
A 3D modeling program with an emphasis on procedural generation. It is used for the most expensive and complex types of 3D animation, such as fluid design and particle simulation. The thing is, perhaps, the most difficult of the presented list, and specialists who know how to work in it are highly valued and well paid.
Conclusion
Motion design is a relatively new phenomenon in Russia, but already arousing interest among young audiences and those who feel creative potential.
New professionals will have a long but exciting path to acquire skills. And we will give such people one lesson from the experience of observation: if you try and you like it, the probability of leaving motion design is close to zero 🙂
Isn't this the main thing in the profession?
And if you love motion design as much as we love it, check out our blog for a lot more interesting things.
Good luck!
