How to animate SVGs easily?

[@AR7editing]

anything, you explaing things really well

[@plaskut]

I'm also interested in animating the noise filter. Imitation CRT noise in SVG would be really cool!

[@JakeLuden]

As an ex wedding photographer who left to become a developer, I cannot thank you enough for this video 😭 This is something I’ve wanted to tackle so bad as tasteful grain was such an important part in my editing process, and I wanted to emulate it in my web designs as well. Amazing job.

[@neverninetofive]

Why did you switch from wedding photography to developing?

[@JakeLuden]

@@neverninetofive Oh man, more reasons than I can count haha. Main issues boiled down to missing almost every important event (all of my best friends’ weddings, family events, etc.), 100-120hr work weeks permanently, and no “off the clock” time. I’m very grateful for the 7ish years I did it as I don’t have a degree and it provided a way out of my retail job, but it was definitely time to move on. I’m eternally grateful for companies taking a chance on me with development as well due to the no degree thing. Life is crazy!

[@neverninetofive]

@@JakeLuden I appreciate the answer. I’m tying to quit my engineering job to become a photographer, that’s why I am asking 🫠

[@kirk1257]

Hey Jake! I think the work of dev and photographer depends highly on personality as well. I'm full-time designer and also work closely only with devs. I think it's kind of job that is more for people, who value one place. I'm also a hobby photographer and also think to move to photography, since I would love to have more contact to people and have less "editing, reviewing" phases in my daily job. Would love to hear more from you about your experience. It would be also nice if you could share your Instagram! Good luck!

[@CEntertainArt]

Genuinely love seeing more people using this kind of style. I've been enjoying noisy textures for a long time now, and this is honestly a blessing. Even NASA uses grainy backgrounds for their app.

[@trtl9106]

Do you think maybe this trend is caused by an increase of the desire for a low tech, lo-fi daily life?

Dude, stumbled upon these accidently, and as the second video Ive watched, instantly in love with your style, the clear simple way you deliver information, the fast pace nature and the bits of humor sprinkled in. Instant fan. Thank you so much

[@shawnthomas85]

Me too bro. The 1st video was “the word shorted Ui/ux course”

[@Eugensson]

Interesting fact: the old iPhone skeumorphic UI used grainy backgrounds a lot to conceal the phone's bad screen resolution. It worked really well.

[@khuramshahzad9089]

I just found out your video randomly while exploring and the nature has brought you an subscriber. Amazing work from video editing style, to narration from scrpts to style of video. 🎉

[@ellenripley4837]

1:56 For this effect I would recommend to alter the standard gradient instead of leaving it as it is. It will give you the same effect than what the person did with procreate. You just have to move the node with the 0 opacity hue a little bit higher. Also when you use the noise texture, aside from playing with the opacity of the texture, play with your blending options. You can find those when you click on the drop icon when you open the fill to change the color.

[@fitzgeraldbabiera2507]

After using Blender with a low-end PC for quite some time, those grains make an image look & feel so pleasing to the eyes (Even though grainy images aren't what most people are looking for)

[@jameshskim]

Wow! It's rare to come by someone who has both the technical execution and design eye like yourself! I'm curious about your journey, possible next video idea? Also, if you have one tip for anyone to get started on their development journey, what would that be? I'm mainly asking because as a designer, I struggle to actualize my designs for personal projects 😅

[@xenoliving3951]

This is the tutorial I have been waiting my whole life for. ♥

[@dopetag]

This channel is a pure gem! Thanks for incredible content

[@cerulity32k]

When I first did ray tracing in Blender, the diffuse materials looked grainy. I wondered how it could be used as an advantage. Didn't disappoint!

[@jackpaice]

I use SVG with react all the time. You just copy the Figma item as SVG (or export it as SVG code), and then you can use it as a regular html element in your react code, inside a return block. Subsequent CSS changes can be made just like with any other JSX or TSX file

[@Chintanned]

Amount of effort in creating whole starting from making grainy texture to code to this video to edit the video is insane! Hat's off!

[@devwebjourney]

Please do this type of video more often. It's awesome and really inspiring to see how to create such trendy/newly type of design, you rock !

You have combined graphics design and programming in a way that very few people I've seen do. Thank you for this.

[@Ma1ne2]

I just discovered your channel with your last video about the colour theme website you created, I really enjoy the editing, pace and content! This is another great video and I am gonna have a lot of fun playing with this. To me, the last option leaving the svg markup inside the html is the best, because with a Framework you can just hide that stuff inside a component and by that have a super clean solution 😊

[@jorims8537]

Little Lifehack: you don’t need to do the inspection part with sections to get to the svg code. If you import the svg file right into VS Code, you will immediately see the svg code itself.

[@dominikcygan2664]

This is literally my favourite look these days, I plan to remake my whole portfolio website with that style

[@franksonjohnson]

Yo your channel' gonna blow up this is one of the best videos bridging design and code I've ever seen.

[@nogussy]

There's a trick with youtube to make quality better for free - if you export & upload a video you made in 4k instead of 1080p (even if the content itself is just 1080p), YT will store the video with higher bitrate so if you watch the video in 4k quality on a 1080p screen you still feel a good increase in quality. I think this can be useful for videos like this where the fine quality can be appreciated

[@freeguy2418]

I found every video in this channel helpful. Even the small details are time consuming to learn, But this helped me here.

[@nurb2kea]

Noise is the no.1 driver in CG. To apply noise over an image in whatever application is via a blend mode like overlay etc. The number one rule for the noise to work correct is to build it right. - > Make a layer with 128 grey (50%) and apply your noise on this layer. This way you have neutral grey with lighter and darker peaks. Now when blending this layer over the image, the image itself won't appear darker or lighter, thanks to the 50% grey layer!! < - With different blend modes, contrast or highpass you can change the noise ammount/graininess even more. Try to use an app that alows to generate differen size (scalable) noise. But best is to generate procedural NEUTRAL GREY noise on the fly instead of noise images to blend over!

Just fyi, PNG uses lossess compression so the quality will be fine, its use case that would affect it, e.g. changing resolution dynamically

[@saeedbarari2207]

windows' Acrylic material is doing that too. noise over blur overlayed with a main color. it's used in various places like the START menu. honestly it's the best blur I've ever seen

[@j_u_d_y3041]

Wow~This is fantastic! Thank you for sharing the detailed steps of your thinking process~Very helpful!

[@kipchickensout]

very nice video. Info about base64, it's just an encoding to be able to show any binary data or text with spaces and unwanted characters as a single string and can be reverted, and in data URLs it starts after the comma. you can also convert them back to bytes, there is a website i found that makes it quick, you just paste any base64 and it spits out the original file, you may need to fix the file extension if it doesn't get it

[@Gokulbalram]

Hey, I think for the part where you had to paste the svg code, you can either directly copy the shape from figma and paste it into a text editor (it will paste as a code), or you can right click, copy as, and it will give you options. On illustrator, you can just copy it normally, and paste it directly as code

[@InterPixelYoutube]

4:12 - Just click on the element in figma, right click, copy code => CSS.

[@Campake]

0:32 just wanna clarify - on film, ISO was not a "setting" on film (and it definitely isn't something to do only with old cameras), also, your next point about low-light conditions - that's also to do with ISO. Film essentially works by exposing small grains of silver halides to light for a certain amount of time. The size of those grains is what ISO is - the bigger the grain, the more sensitive the film is to light - the higher the ISO is. ISO is essentially sensitivity, i.e. how sensitive the film/sensor is to light, so for your second point - it's not the dark causing the grain, it's having to use a higher ISO because of the dark, that is why you can take long-exposures when it's darker and the image wont turn out grainy. Hopefully what I said explains the topic well enough, it's 3 am and I'm procrastinating doing work rn.

[@JordanRouss]

I recently found your channel and let me tell you: YOU'RE AMAZING! thank you soo much for this video

[@Som3Won]

what ai voice service do you use?

[@npip99]

0:35 Still happens on new cameras, regardless of ISO it's just caused by not enough light entering the aperture.

[@naturallyinterested7569]

No criticism here but two comments: Grainy originally comes from film grain. (old chemical-based, not laser-printed) Photos don't have pixels, they have small grains of different colors that make up the image. So a grainy image would be one that has large-enough grains (for various reasons) that you can see them individually and as they have distinct color they can make what was meant to be a smooth color gradient look pixel-y. Also the look you're going for would technically be a mixture of graining and heavy out-of-focus blur. (interestingly an effect that is very much associated today (at least in my field) with raytracing).

[@lemonline3719]

Amazing video! I'm definitely going to apply these techniques in the future. My only suggestion would be to remove the baked-in/hardcoded subtitles from your video, since there are KZbin captions already, and they block the interface. Better to give viewers the options to turn them on or off.

[@edwardwhatson6058]

Brilliantly put together video, well done

[@lawrencejob]

I love this. Have you tried combining with blend modes?

[@reesz]

Please tell me someone already told you that in Figma you can just: right-click -> Copy/Paste as -> Copy as SVG to copy the full SVG code into the clipboard without all the export-inspect-fuckery 😅. Just usually recommended to remove the width/height attributes on the SVG tag if you're using the whole code.

About film, many don’t realise: the grain are literally the “pixels” of the film.

Not sure what you mean by "can't edit" when importing a .svg Also, you can use non base64 encoded svgs with a data URI that starts with 'data:image/svg+xml;utf8,

[@malkythealky]

Love the video, exactly what I was looking for! Thank you

[@Obscurite1221]

Lmao and here I was thinking this was for a shader or something. I was gonna suggest a perlin noise x shifting perlin noise gated to 0.95 or higher to make static grain

[@franklyrahat]

Cool tricks! As a better alternative to base64 encoded svg into your css you should most likely make the svg external and lazy load it with a bundler if you're using a framework

PNG is a lossless image format, what did you mean by it being low quality? The SVG adds extra compute at page render (which will start to matter for larger screen sizes). Pre-generating the noise texture and embedding (as base64 data) it in the document is likely the most scalable way if you don’t care about the noise changing on every page load.
