10 Tips for Beginners | After Effects Tutorial

In this video I’m going to give you 10 tips for beginners just starting out in After Effects. This is a video I created to help students avoid basic mistakes when they study with me, but I’m hoping it’s helpful for anyone out there just starting out with After Effects. This ISN’T a tutorial on how to create your first animation. There’s already so many tutorials out there which cover the basics. This IS about workflow, and traps I’ve seen students get in when I’ve been teaching. And other random tips. And a plea for someone to break John McTiernan out of director jail. ============================================================= ► Download my folder structure: ============================================================= The Video Shop Long Play: ============================================================= Atlas artwork by George Mironidis: ============================================================= Best Practices: Working with native formats: ============================================================= Keyboard shortcuts in After Effects: ============================================================= Solved: After Effects: Why does my background revert to black when I export?: ============================================================= Chapters: 0:00 - Intro 1:17 - Tip 01 2:13 - Tip 02 2:57 - Tip 03 3:25 - Tip 04 4:14 - Tip 05 5:34 - Tip 06 7:15 - Tip 07 8:05 - Tip 08 9:46 - Tip 09 11:18 - Tip 10 11:46 - Bonus Clickbait Tip ============================================================= ► Subscribe for more tutorials like this: ============================================================= ► If you have any questions just let me know in the comments. ============================================================= ► If you want to take any of the courses I teach you can find details of upcoming classes here: ============================================================= ► Find me: ============================================================= #learnmotiondesign #learnaftereffects #aftereffectsworkflow #motiondesignadvice #freelancing #motiondesigncareer #shortcuts #aftereffectsshortcuts #aftereffectstutorial #animation #motiondesign #beginneraftereffects
