  • 03 - AE tools7:42

    Explore After Effects tools for textures, including transfer mode, track matte, and parenting, while learning to import textures as compositions, manage alpha channels, and use video textures for dynamic effects.

  • 04 AE tools6:13

    Explore track mats in After Effects, using alpha and luma maps with alpha inverted and luma inverted to control transparency and integrate video texture.

  • 05 AE tools9:55

    Master blending textures with transfer modes in after effects, using multiply, overlay, screen, and soft light to integrate textures with footage, adjust levels and curves to control brightness and depth.

  • 06 class example2:10

    Master parenting in After Effects to control how a child layer follows its parent's scale, position, and rotation, while identifying when to keep layers independent for texture workflows.

  • 07 class example2:30

    Sketch a concept in Photoshop inspired by basketball textures from a street game, then design a horizontal scorecard with text and footage, using painting textures to reveal the footage.

  • 08 class example9:52

    Explore building a textured composition in After Effects by layering textures and footage, using multiply and screen blends, levels, and precomposing to create a cohesive design.

  • 09 class example10:43

    Master applying textures to text in After Effects using multiply, roughen edges for a hand-drawn look, and time remapping to animate texture effects.

  • 10 class example7:49

    Learn to animate textures in After Effects by using a null controller to move 2-D layers as a unit, with camera drift, keyframes, and easing.

  • 11 class example17:53

    Learn to compose and animate textures in after effects using alpha channels, parenting, and text animation presets for dynamic, timed motion.

  • 12 class example12:27

    Master After Effects time remapping, keyframe timing, and texture integration using pre-comps, color layers, and parenting to craft a clear basketball game sequence.

  • 13 class example1:56

    Create gritty basketball texture animations in After Effects by combining footage, textures, track mats, and transfer modes. Learn parenting and roughen edges for a spray-paint look with animated text.

Requirements

  • After Effects knowledge required

Description

Textures are my favorite to work with in After Effects.  In this course I'll be teaching you what good textures are, how to find them and make them and how to use them in After Effects.  I'll be teaching you my tricks and secrets in how I design and animate with textures.  I'll be walking you through an example project which I will also be providing my project files for you to learn as you go.

I want you to succeed. If you have any questions reach out to me in the Q&A section of the course. I’d be happy to answer any questions you may have. 

Here are what students are saying about this course:

"THis is the answer to every question I ever had about textures. You definitely need some basic knowledge on what you are looking FOR in After effects, but she shows you HOW to do it all ......I have so many ideas opened up as a result of this course....." Jeremy Hazel, student

"I did this course in a couple of hours but after having learned a solid foundation of the basics this is exactly what I needed to help cement my After Effects knowledge. Having a real world type of project like this is a great way to put it all together. I really enjoyed it and would recommend this to anybody looking to improve their motion graphics skills who is a beginner looking to get to a more intermediate/advanced level." - Eric Vasquez, student

"The quality of the end product and the clever but accessible techniques the instructor demonstrated to achieve it makes this course feel like a direct insight into an industry professional's process." - Jonathan Rogers, student
