I loved everything about this course. I think it’s helpful if you have a basic understanding of AE already, or if you supplement with a specific AE course and/ or YouTube videos on AE. But for learning setting up a project from scratch and taking it to the finish line in a structured, step by step, way this is the best course. It also shows you what problems you will likely run into and how to prepare for those, or how to solve them. It’s always best to learn a skill from those who use the skills in their daily professional life on real projects rather than from those who are only teaching the skill. The only thing that wasn’t to my liking was the music behind the voice over. I would have been able to concentrate better without it. But that’s a personal preference. Thanks for the great course.

This was a great tutorial. Everything was clear and well organized. I learned a lot.

Would be good to include the practise script used in the section 4 so we can practise copying and pasting into our own project. Other than that, it is very clear

Overpriced . Not learned anything

The Graphic Design to Motion Graphics course has been an incredibly enriching experience. I've always been fascinated by the idea of bringing my static designs to life with motion and animation, and this course has exceeded my expectations in every way. What I value most about this course is how it presents the fundamental concepts of graphic design and integrates them with motion graphics techniques. This has allowed me to understand how to apply design principles to animated projects much more effectively. Furthermore, I've learned to use specialized tools and software in motion graphics, opening up a world of creative possibilities. Additionally, it has greatly helped me learn how to organize my projects effectively, making it an all-encompassing learning experience.

I loved this media creators course! It was very explanatory, didactic and easy to follow. I also loved all the animations that accompany the voiceovers, which are in themselves very inspirational. Very recomendable to made!

This course is absolutely fantastic! Despite having years of experience with After Effects, I was pleasantly surprised by the wealth of knowledge I gained and the transformative impact these new tools will have on my daily workflow. The course is remarkably comprehensive, and the explanations are exceptionally clear. Highly recommended!

This course brilliantly bridges the gap between Adobe Illustrator and After Effects. The gradual transition from basic Illustrator concepts to full-on animations in After Effects was well-paced and thoughtful. I appreciated the emphasis on workflow and now feel prepared to tackle more advanced projects.
