Introduction to Shape layers in After Effects and also we will discuss the reference project and its storyboard

We will start by creating the easiest shape, Firework. We will explore the powerful Shape Tool and its contents and add and use Repeater and Trim path Tools to create and animate the Firework.

in this Tutorial we will design and animate another exciting Pop Circle Element by using Merge Paths Tool , size and use Graph Editor to get the perfect pop timings.

In this Chapter we will Trim a Square into a Triangle and animate its repeater and position to achieve the look of our reference project or storyboard.

In this Chapter we will be creating the repetition of boxes to make certain interesting patterns that they merge into one another and will become an integral part of out storyboard in the final composition.

In this Chapter we will be creating the popular liquid Drop animation. We will use circle paths to define its shape while connected to a path that we will create with pen tool. We will also use Echo and Displacement effects to mimic droplets with its movement. Speed will be controlled via speed graph.

We will create another Tear Drop but this time we will use another easy method. We will simply rotate the Tear Drop around its axis while animating its shape.

In this Chapter we will setup the final composition. We will also import our first element Liquid Drop in this composition. After that we will add smart color controller to the scene which will help us to change the colors of our final composition with one click.

In this chapter we will add boxes and triangles that we added earlier. We will also adjust its position in the timeline so that it interacts with the other elements in the scene to make it look like a story.

In this chapter we will add all the elements that we created in the previous chapters. Adjust its size and position in the timeline. Also we will apply Smart color controller to all the elements.
