Adobe After Effects: From Beginner to Motion Master

Learn the basics of Adobe After Effects for motion graphics, including composition, type animation, easing, blurring, masking, greenscreen, and exporting. Practice through a project-based approach with class projects and resources.

Master the fundamentals of Adobe After Effects for motion graphics, from keyframes and text animation to visual effects, color correction, green screen keying, export, and 3D integration.

Master how to work with compositions in Adobe After Effects by distinguishing projects from compositions, configuring precise composition settings, and matching duration and video size for seamless motion graphics.

Create a type animation in Adobe After Effects using the type tool and character options, then animate text with keyframes, focusing on fonts, fill color, kerning, and leading.

Master text animation in After Effects through easing techniques, such as easy ease, ease in and out, and motion blur, plus adjusting keyframe velocity for smoother transitions.

Export your After Effects animations using the render queue or Adobe Media Encoder, with mp4 output at 1920x1080. Select the composition, then use the new Maxon Cinema 4D exporter.

Create a lower third with a rounded shape and text, then add a watermark and animate them with keyframes for opacity and position, using ease for smooth motion.

Master the graph editor to smooth motion with easy ease in/out and precise keyframe velocity, then add and tune audio using waveform and export with media encoder.

Set the work area and trim the composition to it, shortening the video, then export with media encoder in the new update.

Learn basic color correction in After Effects using Lumetri Color with basic correction controls like white balance, temperature, tint, saturation, exposure, and contrast, applied on an adjustment layer.

Explore vector and looping animation in after effects by importing Illustrator files, creating a 1920x1080 composition, and building loops with keyframes and ease for smooth motion.

Demonstrate creating a composition in After Effects, importing vector layers as a composition, and building a pre-comp to animate a motion path with keyframes and auto orient along path.

Learn to remove a green screen background with key light and screen matte, refine edges with color corrections, and composite a new background.

Create a new After Effects composition at 1920 by 1080, 25 fps, with background color. Mask a text layer with the rectangle tool and animate the mask path with keyframes.

Learn to animate an object and its mask separately in After Effects by creating a composition, importing a logo, applying a mask, and using a track matte with keyframes.

Create an animated infographic line chart in After Effects by importing Illustrator assets, setting up a 1920x1080 comp, masking lines, animating with keyframes, and exporting with audio.

Remove green screen and replace the background in After Effects by creating a project, importing footage, applying key light, and exporting with a new backdrop.
