Course Description
Motion graphics animation has been around for a while, but only recently has it become a massively important tool for UX/UI designers. This course will teach you everything you need to know about Adobe After Effects for UX/UI animations and prototyping software designs using animation.
After Effects can be a bit of an overwhelming piece of software to learn, but luckily for you as a UX/UI designer, there are many parts of After Effects that you don't even need to know about or learn to be successful. I've cut out all the fluff in this course and just give you the absolute necessities to get the job done!
This course is not intended to be a UX/UI course, this is a full-on motion graphics animation course geared toward UX/UI designers. As such, you do need a base-level knowledge of UX/UI in order to have the necessary context to follow along.
Here are some things you'll learn:
- After Effects basics including the very important concepts of keyframing and easing
- How to export designs to After Effects and then set up those designs for animation
- How to plan animations for UX/UI designs
- How to animate and prototype an actual app inside of After Effects
- How to polish your animations for presentation
Along with all of the lectures provided in this course, you'll have access to the Adobe XD prototype app I use as an example throughout the course, the After Effects project file set up and ready to go, some app demoing assets, as well as an animation exercise to help familiarize yourself with basic After Effects concepts.
Get ready to become a UX/UI animation pro!

I'm a professional Motion Graphics Animator in addition to being a video generalist. While I enjoy all aspects of videography and video editing, my specialty is Motion Graphics Animation. I've had the opportunity to work for hundreds of different clients big and small over the last decade in addition to holding several full-time positions as a motion graphics animator. I absolutely love what I do and want to share my skills with others through course production and 1:1 tutoring.

Awesome explanation! Being a UX/UI Designer for more than 5 years, I've been thinking about such an animation course for so long—eventually, I'm happy I've decided on these lessons.

It is practical and useful. However, the version of after effect and plugin is a little bit from th latest versions and I need some time to find out the steps for the same function. Moreover, I need some time to relink the images of the course.

Not everything is shown, steps such as uploading assets to the affter effect are omitted.

Very basic stuff... Good to know about some plugins for exporting from Figma.

Short and to the point like it :)

It was good as expected but only for beginners like described. It would have been good to showcase or go through the process "Exporting Sketch file into AE" for sketch users.
