This After Effects tutorial will cover all the essential elements I can possibly squeeze into an hour. You'll learn how to create 3 scenes with different styles of Motion Graphics. Perfect for those who are new to this software or want a refresher on the basics.
This is the first primer lesson from my 9-week Motion Foundation course, the ultimate beginner's guide to Motion Design.
