Discussion How are you keeping UI mockups and text stable in generative video?

• Upvotes

​

I feel like this gets discussed a lot, but I find it personally quite frustrating, so here we go. Running commercial ads or UI mock with standard video generators, the text, 8 times out of 10, gets messed up. The background, great! Even the lighting, spot on! When the motion hits, brand assets especially those with text, starts wrapping.

Of course, we have the “minor” changes from the client. This looks great, but… this is something that I really hate hearing. I can’t isolate the spot. I can’t isolate the logo. So that means I have to somehow replicate what I did. Which is almost impossible.

That was what I used to do. The thing that I also realize that each model has its own perk. Seedance its cinematic output, and motion, some works better with faces/ character consistency etc.

This is somewhat new to me. I also subbed to MiniMax H3 just because it has some new releases that I read about it. Give it a mix of image, text, and video references helps anchor the actual UI layout and brand structure, that was supposedly what it does well.

I am still playing with it and still learning. If what it says is true, it would save me time with the localized replacement and multimodal editing. I am getting a hang of it with targeting specific areas to edit. No overhaul of everything, just targeted edit.

One thing I noticed, is that the image reference has to be high res. Otherwise, wrapping still happens.

How do you all keep brand elements stable for commercial work (text and whatnot)? Are you comping everything in post, relying on localized edit passes, or some other magic tricks that you know up your sleeves?

Question Do you include a revision cap clause in your contracts?

3 Upvotes

Have you ever had a client keep asking for revisions, add new requirements midway through a project, delay appronals or expect extra work without additional payment?

Also, how do you usually handle contract signing?. Which one do you use

Reel Interactive HUD and mountain generator

I've simulated my fair share of sci-fi UI over the years, so I thought why not make one that works for real? As an experiment I ditched keyframing in After Effects and instead turned to TouchDesigner to create one that was fully interactive and real-time.

Every mountain in this video is generated on the fly. Every readout is accurate. This little piece combines landscape generation, topography analysis and an extra sprinkling of FUI widgets. Controlled via MIDI using Intech Grid.

More motion/interactive pieces like this on my ig here. Thanks for watching :)

Project Showcase Another launch video I recently crafted — INFLUCTS.

This was genuinely one of those projects I loved working on.

The client was looking for someone who could take ownership of the entire project, from understanding the product and shaping the visual direction to refining individual scenes and bringing everything together, without needing constant back and forth.

Before jumping into the visuals, I spent time researching how INFLUCTS actually works, understanding its core principles, and figuring out how to communicate a fairly complex product through a clean, engaging visual story.

From refining the creative direction to improving specific segments, I handled the entire process independently. And honestly, one of the best parts was hearing back from the client. The video required zero revision requests, and the client mentioned how happy they were that I understood the product so well.

That kind of feedback makes all the research and effort worthwhile.

Of course, there's always room to improve. I'm always open to honest feedback, constructive criticism, and different perspectives, so I'd genuinely love to hear what you think about the video.

Check out the product: https://influcts.com

I'm also currently open to new projects. If you have a project in mind, feel free to reach out to me on Instagram.

Reposts and sharing with anyone who might find this work interesting are always appreciated!

Leaning more into the minimalist side, can't afford their course so I'm just trying to get some info...

I know ai animations are hated but I'm js curious on how they create it.

Sorry if this message offends anybody.

put 500+ handpicked ui saas launch videos into a gallery you can search and filter, free to browse.

- filter by tag (yc, agents, fintech, design and more) and sort by most viewed
- search by company or title
- save the ones you want to come back to into your own collections
- submit a launch video you think belongs

site -> launchgallery.video

curious what you'd want from a library like this. how do you usually collect motion references, and what's missing from the places you use now?

Question What Is This Style Of Motion Graphics Called?

Hello! I am interested in learning motion graphics and found this TikTok that I would like to learn from and recreate (https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTfxYgN3k/)

I am mostly interested in learning how to recreate the parts that have the footage of the world and some sort of animation (not too sure how to describe this lol, but basically the first part and the final part).

Thank you!!

project/collab 38BCST is looking for independent creatives

0 Upvotes

What happens to all the good work that never gets seen?

38BCST is an independent music-discovery and visual culture project built around the idea that talent shouldn't need an industry machine behind it to deserve attention.

We're pushing back against an industry obsessed with numbers, visibility and commercial formulas, while championing independent music, human creativity and artists working outside the usual spotlight.

We're looking for musicians, animators, motion designers, filmmakers, 2D and 3D artists, video artists, photographers, and creatives working across any visual medium.

Short films, experimental videos, motion graphics, CGI, animation loops, visual experiments, personal projects, unfinished-but-promising work, anything that has a vision behind it.

Your work doesn't need to be created specifically for 38BCST. If you've made something you're proud of but haven't found the right place to share it, we want to hear from you.

The idea is to pair independent music with compelling visuals, creating a space where different forms of creativity can meet and where overlooked work can find new audiences.

The long-term goal is to build a platform where independent artists and creatives can be featured for free. No pay-to-play. No paying for the privilege of being seen.

38BCST is at the very beginning. We don't have a massive audience to promise you. What we do have is a vision, creative freedom, and the ambition to build something that gives overlooked work somewhere to go.

If you connect with the idea, contact us / send us your work or portfolio : [38bcst@gmail.com](mailto:38bcst@gmail.com)

Plugin Picking a font in After Effects still means scrolling one at a time. I built a panel to fix that, feedback welcome!

Hey all, I'm an owner of a small post production studio. We built this tool for our use, as choosing fonts in AE (and everywhere really) feels outdated.

We named it "Fonthound", you type your title once and see it in every font you have installed.

You select your text layers, click a font, and it goes straight onto them. We also made an option to set up to 5 options on a frame from your comp and send the client a numbered sheet to pick from.

As this is the first version that we launch for people to use outside the studio, we would more than happy to get some feedback about the use and the features inside it. It's free for everyone for 14 days!

Thanks!

Project Showcase Generative Lexicon Press

Some artworks stay with you until you try since the very first time you see them.

Ksawery Komputery has been one of my favorite artists for a long time. His generative typography for Max Cooper's Symphony in Acid is one of those works I keep coming back to.

After a long time experimenting, I finally developed my own interpretation in TouchDesigner.

Generative Lexicon Press is a real-time typographic system that continuously, and audio-reactively rearranges language and visual structures, with Ollama introducing locally generated text in ultra-fun ways.

Looking forward sharing more in the near future. You can see more of my experiments on Instagram, or Patreon.
