Course Description

Hi everyone! In this course, we're going to dive into After Effects. And guess what? We'll actually create something awesome along the way. In this course, you'll get a taste of the actions we commonly use in motion design projects. We'll cover tasks like editing videos in after effects. Working with basic shapes to create cool loader animation, organizing the project using precomps, and even working in a 3D space, While creating a cool title animation. We are also going to cover some advanced techniques, like track mattes, to create a nice transition. In addition, we will be working with a logo that we will import from Illustrator and animate in After Effects. Lastly, we'll learn how to render our project in different formats, including images and videos, and discover how to package up the whole project if we want to send it off to someone else.

Throughout the course, I'll ask you questions to keep you engaged. On top of that, I'll be your guide, giving you cues on when to sit back and just listen and when it's your turn,  to take control and follow along with me. By the end of this course, you'll have a solid foundation in creating motion design projects. We're going to focus only on the functions we actually use in motion design—no need to overwhelm ourselves with unnecessary info.

And here's an extra: along the course, we'll install three super handy free scripts. Oh, and don't worry, I got a professional voiceover to handle the talkin', so you won't have to deal with my funky and exotic accent. Sounds good? So let's not waste more time and start learning motion design.

This guy's free stuff is better than other people's paid stuff. I've almost given up on AE because how bad most online courses are, but this guy understands that there is a learning process. I will purchase your paid courses when I am done with the free stuff. Thank you!

A well thought out course. The instructor takes his time to explain everything very carefully and clearly. With a good build up, from starting with the basic simple concepts and principles, to slowly things becoming more complex. This shows that he is a good teacher. And on top of that, the course is free.

By Kristina Bogdanova on 10/21/2025

I have always been bored by the basic beginner tutorials. But not now! Thanks for taking us through everything we should know and everything that will be of use to us in the future.

By Krystian on 2/11/2025

This is the beginner course, I'm familiar with AE but still found something new and useful! Tutor has skills and very nice approach, thank you for giving us this knowledge for free.

Of all the courses on AE I have. Only Valeri has taught me so systematically. It is practical and to the point... So no time wasted.

By Aakash Solanki on 9/16/2024

I was struggling to get started with AE. Many tutorials I saw, lecturer was just doing animation work but I never knew when to understand the concept and when to apply by own. Also the explanation of what frames used to be in past and what digital frames are in first lecture completely changed my perspective towards animation. 5 stars to this amazing course.

By Alexander O on 7/7/2024

I thought we would create a project like you said in the first section, we didnt create anything

By Dakshesh Bhardwaj on 1/26/2024

The course seems amazing as i am a new learner I've gain soo many new things from it. Just to mention i wasn't able to find main folder there is only 1 folder with the name Ae which does not contain all that

By Manuel Felipe Quiros Arce on 10/25/2023

I can't believe this is free. Very well made, accurate explanation, well paced. I'm currently taking an After Effects class at a local institution in my country ($150), 2 classes so far and I've learned nothing compared to what I learned here. Thank you!

By Tom Bendkovsky on 5/29/2023

Well done! The information you provided is clear and easy to implement. The questions in the middle of the lesson were also helpful. Keep up the good work!
