Let me introduce you to this after effects course by telling you what it is and what it is not. Enjoy!
With this lesson I would like you to "jump into the water" with After Effects. I will introduce you to one of your first animations to create which will help you understand the workflow and general movement through After Effects.
In this lecture you can download all available project files from this course!
Let us start by designing our initial circles in after effects.
In the second tutorial we will continue and finalize the design by adding keyframes and coloristic.
This will be our second design, we start this tutorial by creating lines and using the Trim Paths option to make our animation.
We will animate the lines into a spreading circle burst. This will be our second motion graphics after effects project.
This will be our first, little more advanced tutorial on a more interested approach on making circle bursts.
Let us finalize the circle animation project by putting it all together.
Let us start the last circle burst we are going to create.
We will use some effects within After Effects to make a nice animation.
Let us duplicate certain elements, recolor them and finalize this motion graphic.
In this tutorial we will start to build up our energy surge animation in After Effects CC
Since we already have the image and the initial animation set let us finalize this motion graphic.
A last touch showing you that it's easily possible to duplicate and multiply the lines we created.
This is a very important animation because going out from this one you will learn how to create similar animations on your own.
Let's finish our stroke animation in after effects and proceed to next projects.
Let us start to create the fluic rectangle project in after effects.
We will set out custom keyframes and work with the path we prepared.
Let us duplicate the object and create interesting coloristic for the entire animation.
Let us start our buttlerfly circle animation in after effects.
Create our initial trim paths animatinons to overlay over each other.
We will replicate the animation and stagger it by 20% of rotation to achieve this nice, rounded effect.
Let us finalize our butterfly circle animation in after effects.
Let's start the first minimal title opener.
We continue the design of our first minimal title opener in after effects by adding text and keyframing the objects.
Let us finalize this after effects animation.
The second minimal title opener will have a different motion, let us start by adding the rectangle and text.
Let's duplicate and animate the rectangle so we achieve a pixelated effect in after effects.
In this lesson we will finalize the minimal title opener #2 animation!
We are starting our third minimal title opener animation
Here we will add and animate the lines on the side.
Here we are going to mask the text so it will reveal itself from the middle
Here we will work with adding a rectangle box which will finalize this animation.
This is a little bonus design experience I would like to share with you. From time to time we have to prepare a design in After Effects that would seem counter-intuitive to make as a graphic designer. Designing in AE is not the same as drawing in Pohotoshop where all the tools are straightforward. I want to show you a technique of making patterns with the repeater in motion graphic software.
In this lecture I would like to show you a simple approach on a minimal title opener / lower third animation. We will animate a shape layer to showcase a line going form the top of the screen towards its bottom and revealing text along the way. A few cool After Effects tricks will be included and a few track mattes sprinkled along in this design. Let's do this project together and ease some keyframes in it!
With this essential tutorial I want to teach you what does the Region of Interest in After Effects do and what can we use it for. With help of that I will show you how to adjust the size of your current composition to perfectly fit the objects you have in them. Often you do want to set keyframes on composition in order to be able to place things inside those comps so they do not get changed.
With this crispy lecture I wish to inform and teach you about the wonderful Puppet Pin Tool in Adobe After Effects. With help of this splendid tool we are able to animate any PNG image we like
This tutorial will teach you how to make animated trails, strokes, and following paths behind an object. There are many ways and techniques of adding trails, for example with the echo effect and parenting but in this tutorial we will focus on creating stroke paths and using Trim Paths to reveal and hide them behind the moving shape. Just like in the example at the beginning.
Here I want to show you how to divide values of properties (or anywhere withing After Effects) for an efficient workflow.
Thank you for taking the time to complete After effects motion graphics projects to create right away! You're awesome!
This is a bonus lecture for the course.
========================================================================
There is no better way to learn motion graphics than by completing projects. Real projects.
With help of this course you get a good grasp of common workflows and usage and learn After Effects in the process!
========================================================================
There are so many After Effects courses, tutorials, and videos which take a majority of the time to explain all the features and how to potentially use certain things without ever getting on how to actually create it. What good will you bring to understanding tools when you don't know the creative process of their usage in real-life examples?
This is why I prepared this, project-based course - to both teach you the tools & software and let you create real-life after effects projects right away. It doesn't require any prior deep knowledge of After Effects at all - I will show you detailed steps and simple explanations of how to achieve things you want to achieve in the software.
========================================================================
NO PRIOR EXPERIENCE IN AFTER EFFECTS NEEDED!
MAKE BEAUTIFUL MOTION GRAPHICS RIGHT AWAY DURING THE COURSE!
========================================================================
Don't get me wrong, learning After effects cc or even the newest after effects cc 2017 version from scratch, tool by tool, handle by handle, element by element is an amazing journey and I also have recorded a comprehensive After Effects course in that fashion, but some of you who are already a bit familiar with video editing, animation or motion graphic (fade-in, fade out, trimming, these options are available in every video editing software) would like to start right away.
This course is perfect for students, who want to start learning After Effects right away, from the animation/motion graphics side. This course will not be optimal for people who just want to get a basic grasp of the software and carefully learn each option before they start designing and moving forward.
What are the biggest benefits of this after effects course?
You learn from real-life examples
Your instructor is an experienced after effects designer & user
You get all project files to work along or preview the animations
You will learn After Effects fast and efficient, during the work
You get additional design tips & tricks on motion graphics
