... After Effects No Escape! timeline ...

I have been working on the timeline for the “No Escape!” music video. It has a total of 47 shots on it right now (I couldn’t fit them all into the screen cap. above). I had quite a few new scenes to drop into the timeline. It looks like I have about two thirds of the backgrounds finished. Most of the scenes have been animated, but there are some that need work.

After Effects doesn’t have the most intuitive timeline editor, so slipping and moving groups of clips can get messy. If you bump something one way or the other, you have to keep track of what else gets affected by that move. It is my application of choice for film making, so I can live with its flaws.

I hope to finish this video by the end of the year. It has been a great project to work on when I don’t feel like doing anything else. I just sit back and draw out scenes … block by block.
