Hi guys it's not hard to animate and aftereffects.
And it's extremely easy to mess up your projects if you don't work in a structured way.
Believe me I have the experience.
Like I said Guys there is a simple method that if you follow step by step you will end up with very
structured motion graphics projects that later on you can change and modify speedup or slow down the
way you would like.
If you don't start learning how to structure your project then obviously you are going to have layers
and keyframes all over the place.
And when it comes back to tweaking it it will become extremely hard.
So the method is three simple steps.
The first step is about designing the layout in this step you will design your layout you put all your
text your graphics whatever you like.
You laid them out in a fashionable way.
You don't care about any meeting or anything else you just do the design.
Now when you have completed the design you jump to the next step you at the next step is to animate.
You will make everything you want to emit without taking care much about maybe the speed or will come
in first or was coming second and then the last step is about sequencing your last and taking care of
the Spizz.
So you will decide which layer is being emitted first or group of layers and then which group of players
is going to be animate the second and so on until you have a complete animation.
For example let's take my company.
It's a very easy project.
This is what you want to create.
You want to add to this photo.
This square here and the three text it seems is.
So the first thing is design like you can see here it is about design.
So you designer you put the shadows you put whatever you like.
Cool you're happy.
Then you move on to animate.
In this step you are just animating.
Let me show you.
If escaped through you will notice that all the layers are coming at the same time.
But it's exactly what you want to animate and how you want to animate.
When this is done you move on to sequence your layers.
None of this here this story has changed.
Actually the project is complete.
You will sequence the layers decide what comes first what comes second and so on until you have the
complete animation that you want in this step Also you will tweak more the speeds and make it the way
you would like.
So actually we are going to follow the three steps to design to animate and then to sequence to create
this animation.
By the end of the three projects you will be almost M.D how to animate motion graphics within after
effects.
And if you have a paper and pen you can't take notes about the tips I'm going to give you or later on.
You know you reviewed these lectures to really memorize all the tips.
Thank you.
And let's start our first project.
