Rather than teaching a single technique, this video walks through where things live in After Effects. The chapter list runs from the composition and timeline to the project panel, toolbar and top menus, so it works as a map of the software.
It is long, so it suits being used as a reference: jump to the chapter you need rather than watching straight through. Beginners who are still learning where panels sit will get the most from the early navigation sections.
Topics such as expressions get only short sections, so pair the video with dedicated lessons for those. Practicing on a real project is the best way to make the layout familiar.
Learn to navigate Adobe After Effects from beginner to pro in one complete course.
