1. Understand the Workspace

  • Familiarize yourself with key panels:

    • Project Panel: Stores all your assets (videos, images, audio).

    • Composition Panel: Displays your current composition.

    • Timeline Panel: Where you arrange and animate layers.

    • Effects & Presets Panel: Apply effects and animations.

  • Customize your workspace by dragging and resizing panels.

2. Learn the Basics of Compositions

  • A Composition is like a canvas where you create your animations.

  • Create a new composition with the correct resolution, frame rate, and duration for your project.

3. Master Keyframes

  • Keyframes are the foundation of animation in After Effects.

  • Set keyframes for properties like position, scale, rotation, and opacity to create movement.

  • Use the Graph Editor to fine-tune the timing and smoothness of animations.

4. Use Layers Effectively

  • Layers in After Effects work similarly to Photoshop or Illustrator.

  • Organize your project by renaming layers and using folders (pre-compositions).

5. Explore Effects and Presets

  • Apply effects like Blur, Glow, or Color Correction from the Effects & Presets Panel.

  • Use animation presets to quickly add motion to text or objects.

6. Work with Text Animation

  • Use the Text Tool (T) to add and edit text.

  • Animate text with presets or by animating properties like position, scale, and opacity.

  • Explore the Text Animator for advanced text effects.

7. Learn Keyboard Shortcuts

  • Speed up your workflow with these shortcuts:

    • Spacebar: Play/Pause

    • S: Toggle Scale property

    • P: Toggle Position property

    • T: Toggle Opacity property

    • Ctrl/Cmd + D: Duplicate Layer

    • Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + C: Pre-compose Layers

8. Use Masks and Track Mattes

  • Create masks to hide or reveal parts of a layer.

  • Use track mattes to create complex animations and transitions.

9. Add Motion Blur and Depth

  • Enable motion blur for layers to make animations look more natural.

  • Use the Camera Tool and 3D Layers to add depth to your compositions.

10. Render and Export Your Project

  • Go to Composition > Add to Render Queue to export your project.

  • Choose the right format and settings (e.g., H.264 for video, GIF for animations).

11. Experiment and Learn

  • Explore tutorials, templates, and plugins to expand your skills.

  • Practice with different types of projects to master After Effects’ tools.
