Adobe After Effects for Beginners: Motion Design Essentials

A short, hands-on guided project

This is a two-hour guided project rather than a long course, so it is designed to be finished in one sitting. The emphasis is on practice: you work through real-world tasks in After Effects and leave with a clear sense of how the basic motion design tools fit together.

A good fit for

• Someone who wants a quick, applied introduction before a larger course
• Beginners who learn by doing tasks in the software
• Learners who want to apply skills to a real task right away

Before you start

Have After Effects installed and be ready to pause and repeat steps. A guided project is short by design, so it works best as a starting point rather than a complete education in motion graphics.
