Useful, Fun Animation Techniques Inside After Effects

This course has 5 parts, and we will take a look at how to animate using:

- anchor points. The anchor point is the point that your transformations revolve around. Since animation is a kind of transformation, it’s necessary to set an anchor point as a kind of “center of gravity” before starting an animation effect

- how to create whip pans. A whip pan is a type of pan shot in which the camera pans so quickly that the picture blurs into indistinct streaks. It is commonly used as a transition between shots, and can indicate the passage of time or a frenetic pace of action

- how to use the brush and write-on tool. You can create amazing animations using just these two plugins which come included with AE

- masking techniques and the CC composite AE plugin

- shapes and layer styles

- glowing wipes and volumetric lighting which can add some realistic lighting effects to your scene

- we'll see how to create particles and ink droplets, and so much more!

By the end of this course you will have an advanced skill on how to use After Effects in a creative way, and you will be prepared for creating certain projects for your clients
