you'll use over and over again as you progress in the software. By the end of this course you'll have completed 4 different projects: A Simple Logo Reveal, A Lower Third Title, 4 Custom Transitions, and a Sexy Title Reveal!
We'll discuss how to set up a composition, creating a title using the text tool and character settings, using the pen tool and it's stroke to create a simple line, animating with the trim paths operation and the position and opacity parameters. Lastly, we'll cover how to reveal a layer using masks.
We'll discuss how to design a Lower Third using Shape Layers, Gradient Ramps, and After Effect's other built in tools. Next, I will teach you how to create a simple animation using basic keyframes.

Next, I'll teach you how to build your own custom transitions in After Effects using shape layers and basic keyframes to create a cascading animation for motion graphics.
I'll also share a tip for changing the colors of all your layers throughout multiple compositions in one place, by using the Color Control effect and a simple expression.
Fun, easy, fast to render, and looks great! Â Use the basics I share to create your own unique transitions!
For the fourth and final project you'll learn how to create a title using the text tool and character settings, animate using shape layers and the scale property, mirror layers, adjust keyframes, use track mattes, and create a stroke and background for your text. Lastly, we'll cover how to polish the look by color correcting and creating a vignette.
After this course, you'll have what you need to advance further in the software and tackle your first projects!

A great introduction to some common motion graphics elements such as title reveals, lower thirds and transitions. I'm new to AE so this was an easy to follow yet challenging course. Thanks!
Man lernt wie man simple Transitions und simple Logoreveals macht. Aber wirklich nur das simpelste. Der Kurs gibt verhältnismäßig wenig Aufschluss darüber was man mit AE alles machen kann.
Very Useful!!
This course was one of the best courses I took as a beginner in After Effects. Highly recommended to whoever wants to swiftly learn some skills in After Effects!
best course
Just got started, and can't wait to finish!
Cool stuff in this course. Simple, easy to follow, and I can tell I'll be using the skills I learned in this course over and over again.
It's really nice to learn new software while actually making something. Very fun!
This is a great course! I was nervous about getting into After Effects, but the instructor made it seem really approachable.
