Course Description
Have you ever wondered how to make those engaging and eye catching kinetic typography videos that you see on YouTube, marketing campaigns, promos or in music videos? Looking to make great title sequences for your business videos? Now is your chance with this very Basic Kinetic Typography Tutorial!
Words have great power, and you can increase their impact by means of unusual presentation. Visual appeal adds expressiveness to any content and makes it emotive. There are various ways of making the content significant, improving its overall reading performance, and kinetic typography is one of the most efficient among those ways.
Kinetic typography is a great advantage because it turns static text into more expressive by means of animated fonts. It has one important mission – tell your story and welcome the visitors.
This course teaches you the very basics to get up and running quickly and start making your work stand out! Whether you're making your own kinetic typography project or you simply want to make a nice title/intro graphic for your video or you'd like to take your business to the next level by making beautiful things that you couldn’t even imagine before, this is the course for you.

Obtained my first degree in Computer Science and a post graduate degree in Integrated Marketing Communications. Obsessed with learning & acquiring knowledge, a person who always believes that applied knowledge is power. I love sharing knowledge with others wherever I go. I love helping people change their lives for the better, it really makes me so happy that's why I'm here on Udemy to teach what I know in an approachable way and make complex topics easy to understand.
My specialties are: Motion Graphics, Social Media Marketing, Visual Marketing and Whiteboard Animation.
Recently, I have started helping Entrepreneurs and Small Business Owners who don't have any design/ motion graphics or animation skills yet they wish to quickly learn some design/motion graphics/ whiteboard animation tools to create professional looking graphic posts or motion graphics or whiteboard videos or web pages to promote their brand instead of paying tons of money to hire someone to do the work for them and this by teaching them some awesome tools like Videoscribe, Adobe Spark and OFFEO.
I have 17 courses on Udemy so far and more will be added soon! all of my courses have at least 10 minutes of free previews available to you, so you can quickly determine the courses that are right for you.
My courses can be watched 24/7 wherever you are. You can also view them on mobile devices with Udemy mobile app.

A very concise but detailed course. I am new to Adobe Aftereffects but the tutorials offered here were very easy to follow. I just hope the course had more examples of simple animation effects. Nonetheless, a very good course.
