Create a modern infographic in Adobe After Effects by building and animating percentage data visuals with colored progress circles, textures, and timing to reveal data-driven graphics.

Create a pyramid style infographic in Adobe After Effects by building a six-second composition at 60 fps, importing assets and arranging four levels, and adding text with color.

Create a pyramid type infographic by adding ships, text, and colored background blocks behind each level; duplicate and adjust design elements to align with levels one through four.

Learn how to finalize and animate a pyramid type infographic in After Effects, arranging headings and shapes, applying keyframes, and exploring two methods for a clear, step-by-step information pyramid.

Create a simple timeline infographic in After Effects by setting up a composition, designing color blocks in blue, yellow, green, and red, spacing them with shift, and adding text.

Learn to create a timeline infographic in After Effects part 2 by adding heading and body text, color-coded circles, alignment, and a typewriter animation using range selector.

Create a 60 fps, 10-second composition with a white background, and explore anchor point, rotation, and scale. Import designs and learn render and export workflows.

Learn to create a head movement animation in Adobe After Effects by organizing layers, setting anchors, linking head to body, and keyframing rotation with velocity for smooth motion.

Enumerate hand parts and design an upper and lower hand, set anchor points, and rotate to create simple hand animation using the hand tool for precision.

Select the upper hand and adjust its rotation with keyframes over time. Link the upper and lower hands so movement travels together for a simple hand animation.

Animate the lower hand with velocity, keyframes, and rotation, align it with the upper hand, then duplicate and adjust values to preview the leg-walking motion.

Animate a character's legs and walk cycle in After Effects by aligning three designs, setting anchor points, linking leg parts, adjusting scale, and locking layers for a smooth motion.
