    For everyone who doesn't know After Effects at all or is just at the beginner level, this is an introductory lecture so you get a bit familiar with the program itself and with it's navigation. I will cover mostly the things that we will talk about while designing the project itself so you will already have basic understanding on what's going on and how to approach certain tasks! 

    I'll introduce the After Effects interface, identifying the most essential panels—the Project panel, the Timeline, the Composition panel, Move Anchor Point Panel... etc. Note that I am using CS6 so depending on your version, the interface may differ slightly.

  • Keyframe Animation and Basic Transforms6:12

    Keyframing is an essential task in After Effects. After Effects  uses keyframes to change values of different properties over time and interpolate between those values. Also, I'll show you how to use the Move Anchor Point Panel.

    In this lecture, you'll get introduced to Keyframing and all the basic transforms.

Description

Have you ever wondered how to make those engaging and eye catching kinetic typography videos that you see on YouTube, marketing campaigns, promos or in music videos? Looking to make great title sequences for your business videos? Now is your chance with this very Basic Kinetic Typography Tutorial!

Words have great power, and you can increase their impact by means of unusual presentation. Visual appeal adds expressiveness to any content and makes it emotive. There are various ways of making the content significant, improving its overall reading performance, and kinetic typography is one of the most efficient among those ways.

Kinetic typography is a great advantage because it turns static text into more expressive by means of animated fonts. It has one important mission – tell your story and welcome the visitors. 

This course teaches you the very basics to get up and running quickly and start making your work stand out! Whether you're making your own kinetic typography project or you simply want to make a nice title/intro graphic for your video or you'd like to take your business to the next level by making beautiful things that you couldn’t even imagine before, this is the course for you.
