After Effects SORCERY & Photoshop Gets Way Smarter | Motion Mondays

Making waves with After Effects, Photoshop’s powerful AI boost, and Motionographer’s picks for best of 2024.

OpenAI's Sora video generation tool is finally available to Pro users, and we break down what's impressive and what still needs work. Plus, the 2024 Motion Awards winners have been announced with some stunning pieces including digital installations, title sequences, and even AI-generated work.

Adobe continues improving their AI tools with a smart upgrade to Photoshop's selection features that understand human anatomy, while Rive adds powerful scrolling capabilities to their layout tools.

We've also got incredible work from Moth Studios, Already Been Chewed and a showcase of other amazing motion design from around the globe, and Aharon breaks down his ultrarealistic prehistoric mini-nature doc, made in Unreal.
