Motion Graphics for Instagram
“Well, we have reached the end of the course, I hope you had as much fun as I did. Before saying goodbye, I will give you some recommendations so that you take it into account when developing your project. First, remember to design your style frames thinking about animation, in this way separate the layers in the way that best suits you and you can avoid having visually complex projects. Then, when saving your style frames don't forget to separate your artboards. Once inside After Effects remember to organize your layers using labels to avoid getting confused and hiding the ones you don't use. About the texts, try to generate them within After Effects so that you can make your animation modular. Also keep in mind that when using expressions, let's be very careful since a simple letter could generate an error. In the animation of Instagram and IGTV stories, remember to open the "Essential Graphics" panel within the corresponding composition. Don't forget to test your "Master Properties" before exporting to the "Motion Graphics Template" format. In the animation of the feed, try to polish the speeds of your keyframes, and your "Match Cut" transitions as much as possible. Learning to manipulate these techniques can make a huge difference to your project. When exporting, keep the same order and name your renders correctly. Dedicate all the time you need to your project, do not be discouraged if something does not go as expected, remember that trial and error is part of learning and this will help you improve. Do not forget to do your homework, share your progress, participate in the forum and upload your project, I will look forward to seeing what you have designed and so I can give you feedback of your entire creative process. Any question or doubt, do not stop writing to me in the forum that I will be attentive to be able to answer you as soon as possible. Thank you very much for being part of this course. See you! ”
