New to After Effects - First Gif Banner

[AH_Mystic]

Below is my first ever Gif banner that I made for a friend.

I was wondering if I could get feedback about it and any tips on making it better (Yes I used a Youtube tutorial to learn)

Add some more animations, make the text fade at the end. Maybe make it more modern styled. And lastly use a little bit better more modern font.

Thanks,
Bill

The problem with cinema4D is that it's not viable for a private individual to use legitimately. Whenever you set such a gigantic pricetag, you can expect people to pirate it, if only to learn how to use it before buying.

anyway, I'd recommend saving up for Autodesk and Adobe. both are way more affordable companies than cinema4D, and their programs together should be all you need for creative things.[DOUBLEPOST=1464178791][/DOUBLEPOST]

Do you think that people who work hard, that work years on something, think it's proffessional to just steal their work and use it to make your shitty banners? Think again, stop arguing, what you do is stealing. If I started taking your work and using it to make profit, would you be happy? If I stole your computer and used it to make money, would you be happy? Stop messing around.

You're missing an element here. People cracking cinema4D would never have bought it, simply because they cannot afford it. therefore, the creators are not making any losses.
Also, stealing someone's computer means they've lost that computer. Digital programs are available indefinitely. If I pirate a single copy or a thousand copies for personal use, it will not make a difference to the creators.

also, regarding the computer, lets treat it as a digital object. If someone were to come in and take a copy of my hardware that I bought, and use it to make money, I would be only mildly upset, since I would lose nothing.



That being said, it is morally right to buy a license to something as soon as you can afford it. But if you literally don't have the money, and pirate it, the creators do not make any sort of loss whatsoever.

The point where it becomes immoral is if you start making enough profit with the program to be able to afford the license, and don't buy it.
or have enough money in general.

That being said as well, 'professional" is being seriously misused in the entire minecraft community. please dont waste your energy calling them out. I tried, and it changed nothing

Thank you, It's great seeing somebody who actually has a few arguments and facts. I get what you mean and maybe I should've explained myself a bit better in the post, I just got angry at the guy since he was so ignorant.
