Adobe After Effects: Complete Course for Beginners.

Learn the After Effects user interface and how to create compositions with width, height, frame rate, resolution, start timecode, then use canvas, zoom, pan, and grid options to fit content.

Navigate the project window in After Effects, import media using Ctrl+I or double click, organize assets in folders, create and manage compositions, and delete items with the trash icon.

Create a new composition in After Effects with width, height, frame rate, and duration, then import media and use the timeline's sections, current time indicator, and fit to comp.

Explore file and edit basics in After Effects, including creating and opening projects, saving with shortcuts, and building a composition; manage windows and workspaces to tailor tools for animation.

Explore the After Effects toolbar, including selection, hand, zoom, and rotation tools. Use shape, pen, and text tools with fill, stroke, anchor points, and pan behind to edit objects.

Explore the effects and presets panel, apply brightness, color and contrast, and use text options, anchor point centering, alignment, and animation presets to create motion graphics in After Effects.

Explore creating and configuring After Effects compositions, including presets, width and height, frame rate, duration, and background color; learn to name, align shapes, and nest compositions into a main animation.

Explore how to use the After Effects timeline, including composition duration, work area, and current time indicator, to import assets, set keyframes, and adjust transform and audio properties.

Learn to create keyframes in After Effects and animate transform properties. Set the anchor point to the center, adjust position, scale, rotation, and opacity with the stopwatch and keyframe shortcuts.

Explore the rectangle tool in After Effects, learning fill, stroke, alignment, and transform properties of shape layers vs rectangle, plus path conversion for precise keyframe animations.

Explore the other shape tools in After Effects, including rounded rectangles, ellipses, polygons, and stars, and learn to adjust corners, rectangle path, rotation, points, and outer radius.

Master the pen tool and related shape tools in After Effects, learning to add and delete points, convert vertex handles, and adjust curvature using shift and Ctrl Z for undo.

Learn to create shapes, align anchors, and animate position, scale, rotation, and transparency in After Effects, then apply ease in and ease out with keyframe assistance and shortcuts.

Open the graph editor to manipulate keyframe values and speed, apply easy ease out, and interpret the x position (red) and value graphs that show how fast coordinates change.

Explore the speed graph in After Effects, use Graph Editor to Edit Speed Graph, and manipulate keyframes with handles and F9 easing to create slow-fast-slow pacing and realistic animation.

Create a bouncing ball animation in After Effects by building a ground shape and red ball, animating the y position with separate dimensions, using the graph editor and motion blur.

Explore how to create a forward bouncing ball animation in Adobe After Effects by animating the x and y positions with keyframes, producing a smooth forward curve.

Master pre-compose in After Effects by selecting multiple layers, creating a new composition with Ctrl+Shift+C, naming it, and moving all attributes into the new comp for flexible animations.

Explore the main After Effects layer types—shape, text, solid, null object, and adjustment layers—plus 3D vs 2D, parental linking, and applying tint via an adjustment layer.

Explore masking in After Effects with layer and shape masks using rectangle and ellipse tools, adjust mask paths, feathers, and expansion, and apply track matte and alpha matte options.

Learn how to use the parenting option in After Effects by linking shape layers to create rotating animations. Master keyframes, scaling, and timing control to craft complex motion.

Learn to use the repeater in After Effects to duplicate shapes, control copies and offset, and adjust transform properties like start opacity, end opacity, rotation, and scale.

Learn how to use the trim path add-on in After Effects by animating an ellipse with red stroke, adjusting start, end, and offset through keyframes to create a loading animation.

Learn to create dynamic wiggle animations in After Effects by applying wiggle path and trim path, adjusting size, details, smooth corners, and using keyframes across seconds and frames.

Learn to replace wiggle with zigzag to create zigzag stroke, adjust size and per second, smooth corners, and apply trim path for sound wave like animation in After Effects.

Apply the twist effect in After Effects to bend and twist lines, adjust stroke size and center, and use trim path with keyframes to create controlled animations with easy ease.
