Begin by meeting your teacher, Érico Santana. Hear about his artistic and professional influences, and get an overview of the final project.
In the next unit, cover the main typography animation techniques in After Effects. Learn key concepts to design motion graphics for typefaces and explore animation techniques like Text on a Path, Text Animators, CC Cylinder, Shape Layer, and Glitch effects.
Now it's time to put everything you've learned into practice by creating an animated typography video. First, choose a phrase and make an animated composition using Text Animators. Then, experiment with Glitch effects, simulate a 3D environment, and combine different techniques to create RGB Liquid text.
To tie it all together, edit your design into a final, animated composition. Érico gives you some post-production tips on how to add texture and add the final touches to your animation before bringing it to life. He also shows you how to correctly export your file in two different formats so you can share your work with the world.

It took me to finish this course about 1 hour. Not enough information about animation. Basically, this course contains less information than, 5 min search on Youtube. Just type "beginner typographic animation" on Youtube. You'll find more educative lessons. So sad that I paid for this.
