Introduction

This tutorial provides a comprehensive guide for beginners to learn the basics of Adobe After Effects. You will explore the software's interface, create simple animations, and apply effects to your videos. By the end, you'll have foundational skills to start your motion graphics journey.

Step 1: Understanding the After Effects Interface

• Open Adobe After Effects to familiarize yourself with the workspace.
• Key components of the interface:
  • Project Panel: Where all your files and assets are organized.
  • Composition Panel: The main area for previewing your work.
  • Timeline: Where you manage the timing and layers of your animation.
• Customize the workspace layout by dragging panels to your preferred positions.

Step 2: Creating Shape Animations

• Start a new project and create a new composition.
• To create a shape:
  • Select the Shape Tool from the toolbar.
  • Draw a shape (e.g., rectangle, ellipse) in the Composition Panel.
• To animate the shape:
  • Select the shape layer in the timeline.
  • Click the triangle next to the layer name to reveal properties.
  • Animate by setting keyframes for properties like Position, Scale, or Rotation.
    • Example:
      • Move the playhead to the start point.
      • Click the stopwatch icon next to a property to set a keyframe.
      • Move the playhead and adjust the property to create another keyframe.

Step 3: Creating Text Animations

• Create a new text layer:
  • Select the Text Tool and click in the Composition Panel to type your text.
• To animate text:
  • Select the text layer in the timeline.
  • Expand the layer’s options by clicking the triangle.
  • Use the Animate menu to choose an animation type (e.g., Position, Opacity).
  • Add keyframes to animate the text as you did with shapes.

Step 4: Adding Effects to Your Video

• Import a video file into your project by dragging it into the Project Panel.
• Drag the video onto the timeline to create a new layer.
• To add effects:
  • Go to the Effects & Presets panel.
  • Browse or search for the effect you want (e.g., Blur, Color Correction).
  • Drag the effect onto your video layer.
• Adjust the effect properties in the Effect Controls panel to achieve the desired look.
