Description

Almost every professional course, video or youtube channel has some short (5-10 second) logo animation of the video's creator.

These video intros are brand strengthening, they allow the watcher to quickly recognize the video's creator, and in the long term they help the video maker to be more publicly recognized and build his brand.

Every video maker (youtube channel, video course maker, and even companies with "success stories" videos) should have a video intro.

An intro is so easy and simple to make! You don’t need to pay a lot of money to someone else to do it for you. you can make professional 3d logo intro in less than 2 hours!

This course will teach you everything you need to know (A-Z) for making your own professional 3d video intro with your logo.

In this course I used Adobe After Effects CC, Adobe Illustrator, Element 3D. If you don’t have Adobe After Effects CC or Adobe Illustrator you can download them for 30 days trial.

The element 3D software will allow you to make & use 3d object (like your logo) without the need to learn complex 3d software.

Topics Covered:

Convert your logo to a 3D object
Animating 3D objects
