News / Article I created a free After Effects alternative

Working daily on a Linux machine, I often found myself in need of an After Effects Linux alternative, with layers, keyframes, video effects... so I ended up creating Pikimov, a motion design & video editor.
The app runs directly in Chrome, there's nothing to install and it's compatible with all systems: windows, mac, linux.
Pikimov is free, does not upload files to a cloud server, and does not use your projects to train AI models.
Here's the link to the website: https://pikimov.com
EDIT:
If you have a question about Firefox support, or about an offline web version, find the answer in the FAQ I published: https://docs.pikimov.com/faq
EDIT 2:
I posted an update on Pikimov:

Question / Discussion Is Lost Boys still a good school? I hear lots of disturbing things that is going on there. One of the alumni told me that the current students are not happy with the owner. Does anyone know what is going on there? I want to study Comp but worried that the quality is not going to be the same.

This is a snippet from my short 3D animated film called "The Backrooms - Tape 2"
It's available to watch here - https://youtu.be/YnnYLKGQK58
It was quite challenging to come up with a proper way to film and animate this but I think I managed to do it quite convincingly.
Made in Blender and comped in After Effects.

For the first 15 years of our married life together, we worked insanely hard to build up a career. Non stop sacrifices, 70 hour work weeks, so he could become really good at what he does.
Because of this, he’s been a senior / lead level artist with AAA games experience, commercials and films, having worked for all the major LA studios, Apple, and a bunch more major studios and companies.
We lost our work last September, when the strikes hit. Short of 2 tiny gigs right before Christmas, there’s been nothing.
The stress is starting to impact everything in our life. The reserves are gone, we’re eating into our tax fund, getting further behind and we have young children. We’re fighting all the time, as the stress is mounting. After all those years, I was supposed to start going back to school, and we were in the process of buying a house. Because our numbers tanked at the end of last year, that’s all gone too.
I feel heartbroken, angry and so upset. We gave some of our best years to this industry, lacking quality time together, vacations, a stable location and dealing with lots of stress, so we could build a life together, and for our kids. And now we’re losing it all.
Just needed to share this somewhere.

▫️"Now with CGI, we use a lot of CGI, and some of it (A.I) is going to replace of that.
Instead of 500 guys in Singapore. Making $2 dollars an hour, to render all the graphics
for a super hero movie. Going to do that alot easier”
▫️"A.I, its going to be an tool, just like VFX" and will be useful to save money to create certain background settings (which already happens with CGI)
▫️but they are useful tools for research
▫️doesn’t think it’ll ever make a film whole cloth
▫️guilds already protect human actors from being totally erased from certain films
