After Effects – Basics for Beginners.

Ready to take your first step into motion graphics?

This 60-minute introductory course is designed specifically for complete beginners with no prior After Effects experience.

You’ll learn your way around the After Effects workspace, organize and import project assets, create compositions, and discover the fundamentals of animation using keyframes. Through hands-on instruction, you’ll animate basic text or shapes using properties such as position, scale, rotation, and opacity, then preview and export your finished work as a video. By the end of the course, you’ll have a solid understanding of the essential After Effects workflow and the confidence to begin creating your own motion graphics.
