Student Reviews for Udemy Course Design-How to Create Impressive Text Animations

Great intro to AE and Text Animation

I thought this was an excellent course. It provided me with an excellent intro to After Effects and the hands-on approach created a lot of confidence. The tutor spends time to illustrate useful workflows rather than simply showing flashy techniques. Lots of detail and practical reproducible examples. Diction and vocal pacing was excellent throughout and the tutor knew his subject well. I would recommend this course if you want to get started with AE text animation and add some class to your classes. Andrew Pope
