Stefan Ihringer<p>I took another look at the progress of xSTUDIO, the media player and review application for <a href="https://mograph.social/tags/VFX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VFX</span></a>.

There is a development branch that got a few massive commits this year to sync it with their internal codebase.</p><p>Has anybody tried it yet or managed to compile it?

Lucas Janin 🇨🇦🇫🇷<p>Trim, trim, trim… <br>My demo reel for 2025 is now more dynamic. I reduced the duration from 4:26 to 3:28. Removing some sentimental shots was challenging, but I feel better about it now. I made basic sound edits to ensure the video and audio are synchronized.

Brian Tatosky<p>It quickly was determined they had *no* idea what they were talking about or doing, and further discovered they had gotten this project through a contact at Microsoft, intended on doing it themselves, but didn't know how and then came to us.

Brian Tatosky<p>One of the strangest CGI project I've worked on was footage that played during the installation of Windows 95 on you computer. Animating and moving Windows logo elements.
