You will be creating and animating the path that will turn into the shapes using the pen tool as well as trim paths. I will lightly talk about the graph editor, and the value graph in particular, which we will get more into later.

The transition between the path and the shapes will be animated, and this includes position, rotation and scale. I will go in depth with the value graph, and how physics would affect the shapes in real life. You will also learn how to use the "echo" effect to create a motion trail/smear.

You will learn about the principles behind squash & stretch, and I will show you a smart method to animate it with ease.

The principles learned from squash & stretch will be applied to the rotation of the text. I will also show you how to scale an animated bouncy property in a matter of seconds without adjusting all keyframes.

You will learn about hold keyframes, and how they can be used with the fill effect to create blinking colors for your text.

Animations that happen simultaneously are boring, so you will be sequencing all of the letters, to make the animation more quirky and fun.

Using the principles that you have learned, you will be animating the dot next to the text.

Animation is all about how it feels, so it's always good to look back at what you have created and adjust it slightly. You will learn how to use adjustment layers to affect every single layer of your composition as well as how to spot small mistakes in your animation.

Concluding the course.
