Pd-Extended GEM Experiments

By esme_design -



Pat, I was most interested in the GEM mode called Curves. It seemed to work much like a similar interface in Photoshop in that it was manipulated by dragging the curved line, but it has more flexibility. The first time I was trying to create a pale color palette in the fractal image (middle image). As I played with it more, I saw that not only could the color go very dark, but a box appeared within the image (right). The left most image here is the product of dragging the curve so that it was out of the graph area, which was something I was surprised it would do. The GEM environment seems to be a way to make the programming into a kind of flow chart which lays out some elements that are set/unchangeable and some that can be manipulated in a sort of branching design.

While After Effects can edit video footage in much the same way as Premiere, it is designed specifically to work with video layering, compositing, effects and animation. Basically as what it states in its name, it is used for "Effects".Of course Premiere can also do these things but After Effects has a slightly different workflow that makes them easier. After Effects also tends to have better quality effects, etc (Source: http://www.mediacollege.com/adobe/compare/aftereffects-vs-premiere.html ). Strong interest in editing videos drove me to discover Adobe After Effects as final project. To explore its two-dimension animated picture making functio
