Kinetic Typography in After Effects: Motion Graphics Course

---

Requirements

• no previous knowledge is required, although basic knowledge of After Effects will make this course easier to follow
• to follow along, download any version of Adobe After Effects. In the course, we’re using the latest Creative Cloud version.

That’s what this course is all about – breaking down a complicated motion graphics video, and teaching you how to animate each type of text animation.

What will you be able to do with this course?

• Use traditional cuts to introduce new words
• Reveal text with scale and position animation
• Rotate and flip text onto the screen
• Revolve text onto the screen (like they do in so many commercials!)
• Improve animations with motion blur, easy ease, and graph editing
• Export and upload your videos
• Much more!

If you’ve ever wanted to jump right into creating kinetic typography videos, but didn’t know how – this is the perfect course for you.

How does this course work?

This course is taught using Adobe After Effects. We used the latest Creative Cloud version of After Effects, but you can use any previous version (CS6 or earlier) because the process is the same. In this course, we dive right into creating kinetic typography in After Effects. While it will be easier to follow along if you have some experience with After Effects, it is not a requirement. If this course goes too quickly or seems too advanced for you, try enrolling in our full Kinetic Typography or Complete Adobe After Effects courses, which are for complete After Effects beginners.

Throughout this course, you will be working on your own kinetic typography project. Each lesson breaks down one scene from the sample video, going over a new technique in revealing text (cut, scale, position, and rotation animations).

What bonuses are included in this course?

Follow along by using the downloadable After Effects project file. This way, you can follow along with everything we do in the course.
