After Effects Basics (motion design for beginners)
Intro to After Effects Class: skl.sh/3nAtpBD
(that link includes 1 month of Skillshare Premium free so you can watch the class for free!)
Hey everyone! This is the trailer for my first ever Skillshare class!
I wanted to create the primer course I wish I had when I was starting. I get into some more "advanced" topics, but teach it for complete beginners. And it's only 77 minutes long.
Some of the things you'll learn:
- AE interface basics
- Keyframe animation
- Custom easing & Graph Editor
- Morphing shapes
- Compositing & Effects
I'm really happy with how this turned out. Hope it helps you get your motion design career started!
Watch here: skl.sh/3nAtpBD
BTW, I'll be back to tutorials soon, don't worry! :)
