Interact with the course by trying to simulate the animation at the end of the basic animation and advanced animation sections. All assets are included for you. All you have to do is import them and have fun! Best of all, these assets were created by me and can be freely used for any reason.

How is the course structured?First, we’ll look at what After Effects is and how animation works in it. Then we will dive into the program, and I will go through the main panels that you will work with. Then we will move on to animation, and you will be given a test project in which you have to imitate my design. Then I will go through the whole process and you can check your work!

Because 1. Animation is incredibly useful and exciting. 2. This is a great introduction to AE, as well as the first step to creating animated explanatory videos. 3. On the scene with the fog in the background singing bear.
