Kinetic Type with After Effects and Artificial Intelligence
A course by Darwin Pacheco , Designer and Animator
Design kinetic typography in After Effects with AI, mastering keyframes, timing, rhythm, smooth text transitions and dynamic animations
Learn how to create kinetic typography in After Effects, using artificial intelligence as a creative ally to design bold text animations with rhythm and clarity.
Throughout the course, you will build a complete motion design piece from scratch. You will use AI to generate short impactful phrases, color palettes and abstract backgrounds, while focusing on what really matters in type animation: timing, intention and fluid transitions.
You will discover how to organize your project in After Effects, work with keyframes, speed graph and value graph, create smooth match cut transitions and design loops synchronized with music. You will also explore text animators, variable fonts and practical workflows to keep your compositions clean, readable and expressive.
This course is ideal for graphic designers, motion designers and creatives who want to boost their typography animation skills, integrate AI into their workflow without losing artistic control, and produce kinetic type pieces ready to share on social media, reels or commercial projects.
