Basics: Introduction to After Effects

Overview

“Creating compelling animation comes from nuanced control over keyframes. I’ll expand on the previous unit and cover more nuanced ways to shape motion over time and space. This will take you into more contact with the Graph Editor. This is a space where you can see and change keyframes more sophisticatedly. It may seem complex, but it will be second nature to you in no time.”

In this video lesson Evan Abrams addresses the topic: Nuanced Motion, which is part of the Domestika online course: Course 3: Creating Movement and Change. Explore advanced techniques in After Effects to elevate your motion graphics. Learn about keyframes, motion paths, and the graph editor to create dynamic animations with precision and creativity..

“Now that you understand the basics of setting keyframes, let's get deeper into how we can create complex and nuanced motion. In this unit, we'll look at motion paths, roving keyframes, separating dimensions, and manipulating the graph editor. Let's open up After Effects and get into it. So first, let's look at motion paths. We have keyframes, and the graph editor tell us a nuanced way of how we're getting from one place to another. Motion path is how we deal with this in space. So you'll find this most often with positional properties or anything that's holding a positional property. So let...”
