After Effects - Motion Graphics For Beginners

In this lecture we create our first composition and start to build up our first motion graphic using the shape tool and the layer transform options.

We build on the previous lecture to start to add in our logo onto our composition.

We make our motoin graphic more dynamic with this lecture by adding popping lines onto the composition and take our motion graphic to the next level.

In this lecture we add in our URL to the motion graphic and use masks to achieve our sliding text effect.

In this lectuer we use the transform options to create a range of particles animating in across the screen.

The final part of our first motion graphic involves rotating out our bars, logo and having our logo pop out.

Now our first motion graphic is complete, we tidy up a few bits and then we learn how to render our graphic within After Effects.

In this lecture we create our composition for our Search Motion Graphic in After Effects.

In this lecture we import and animate the G logo using multiple methods.

Here we create our search bar and use various methods to have it appear onto our composition.

In this lecture we use an effect to have our search term appear onto our composition.

In this lecture we import our cursor and create a path for this to come and press our button.

We now need to get our elements off the screen after the button is pressed!

In the final part of creating our motion graphic we use various methods to get our elements off the screen.

The final part of this section is to render our newly created motion graphic.

In this lecture we look at our Illustrator file and see how to prepare the file so we can import into After Effects with ease.

Now we know how to prepare our Illustrator file, we can import this correctly into After Effects.

We add our first elements onto the scene as we start to bring the still vector file to life.

We add our moon onto the scene using the path method we used in the previous section.

We give our UFO a lifelike movement and also add our beam coming from the ship onto the scene.

Next we animate the person being beamed onto the ship!

Finally we get all our elements off the screen in various different ways using different techniques.

In this final lecture we render out our animated scene.

In this lecture we have a quick wrap up as a thank you for signing up and completing the course!
