After Effects Motion Graphics Beast

Create a composition and navigate the viewport and timeline, exploring the toolbar and presets, then set size, aspect ratio, 60 fps, duration, and background color for your project.

Explore core animation principles—squash and stretch, anticipation, staging, follow through, slow in and slow out, and arc—and learn how to apply them with After Effects in motion graphics.

Master After Effects motion graphics by exploring value and speed graphs, learning to edit keyframes, separate dimensions, and shape precise paths and speed with easy ease.

Learn to create a jumping ball in After Effects using squash and stretch, animate position with easy ease and speed graph, apply scale wobble, and animate a bezier baseline path.

Explore repeater and wiggle transform in After Effects to create dynamic shapes, adjust opacity, position, rotation, and stroke across copies, and combine modifiers for unique visuals.

Explore tracking, line anchor, and line spacing in text animation. Animate tracking with keyframes or offset, adjust the line anchor in the same animator, and test line spacing.

Explore the final text animation topics: character offset, character value, blur, range selector, and path option to create professional titles by masking and animating text.

Explore animation techniques in After Effects, including parenting rotation to position, looping expressions, and metaball and beam effects to craft dynamic motion graphics.

Master the liquid gradient eclipse title in After Effects by adjusting colors, gradient ramps, shadows, and animating text and shapes with tracking, blur, and easing.

Create a dynamic title in After Effects by building star shapes, applying gradient ramps and inner shadows, and animating with 3D space, a camera, and depth of field.

In lesson 2, learn to build three animated charts in 60-frame compositions using the rectangle tool, anchor point, scale and opacity keyframes, color coding, slider-controlled numbers, and candle-chart pre-compositions.

Build a dynamic chart in After Effects by creating a layered composition with lines, dots, and numbers, applying mask strokes, color gradients, and synchronized keyframe animations for a polished reveal.
