It is important for video editors to become better so that they can produce amazing content for clients. If you are a video editor that doesn't use After Effects, it can be easy to dismiss the program as something that is too difficult and time-consuming to learn. Learning Adobe After Effects doesn't have to be as intimidating as it seems. Sure, there are a lot of effects and tools to learn but the basics are easy to pick up and you can be doing some cool stuff in no time.
The ability to create motion graphic title sequences, lower thirds, and logos in After Effects is a skill that is highly sought after in the video editing world. It creates a higher level of flexibility and efficiency, allowing editors to spend more time doing what they love, rather than having to hand off projects to be completed by post-prod professionals.
You've already got the knowledge from video editing to help you make the plunge into After Effects. In this video I'll help you get started.

I review 22 different problems that you may have come across while you embark to learn After Effects, and I show you how to solve them.
These common solutions are both practical and clever. What is your layer moving between two identical keyframes? Let's look at the spatial interpolation. Need to move a bunch of layers that you've already animated? Use a null to save your work. What to reposition your anchor point without moving the layer? Thats what the pan behind tool is for. Why 22? because it is 2022 and I am good at coming up with themes. That's why! There isn't usually a problems that there aren't solutions that can fix it. This video is all about finding the solutions to the 22 problems I highlight in the video. If the last few seconds make you sratch your head it's because I'm trying to fight my SEO keywords in as many time as I can and it's creating so many problems!

From it's simplified rigging process, to connecting different properties, all the way to extracting character controllers for a simplified down timeline. DUIK Bassel 2 can do it all. If you don't leave this video learning at least one new thing you can do with DUIK than I'm a piglet.

How to create a mockup for your mobile app to showcase potential clients using After Effects.
In this video I show you how to replicate the frosted glass effect, otherwise known as "Glass Morphism" using After Effects and putting it all together for a nice presentation.
Adobe After Effects is used to mockup an app to demonstrate the navigation animations, or to use as a reference to programers for how the app should look and how the animations should behave. Glass Morhpism, (frosted glass effect) has become a new design trend embraced by macOS and Windows 11. So in this video I show you how to achieve the Glass Morphism effect and integrate it into a nice animation to show off your app. By the end of this video you'll know how to create a nice app mockup animation.

How to create a glitch effect that wipes across the screen to transition your animation.
In this video I go over how I made this animation of a feathered glitch effects that gives your animation a digital dissolve using After Effects. This effect is done in two parts. The first part is the digital wipe, where we make the pixelated wipe. The next part is the displacement of the pixels that gives it the real glitch effect. The Displacement Map effect and the fractal noise effect is key to making this happen. (as well as a really simple expression) I hope you find this video helpful and if you do, leave a like.

In this video I share everything you need to know to get started with shape layers. Shape layers are one of the foundations of every motion graphics piece. Since shape layers in After Effects are vector based, they are ideal for animation. Shape layers are used in character animations, explainer videos, transitions and broadcast packages. Understanding how shape layers work is important to becoming a creative motion designer. In this video, we go over the types of shape paths in After Effects and what is different about the two types of shape paths: Parametric and Bezier. There are distinct differences and it can sometimes be confusing.

There are lots of tools to create character rigs in After Effects. Which tool should you use? Bao Bones is a great option for those who want to get good results fast!
Bao Bones is a lesser known character rig tool among the list of many other more well known character rig plugins for After Effects on the market. 2d character animation is a skill more and more motion designers are equipping themselves with.
Among the most popular Character Rig tools is DUIK, a free tool that makes creating limbs with inverse kinematics possible inside of After Effects. Sometimes it can feel like you’re fighting with DUIK rather than utilizing it to express your creativity. Then there are tools like Puppet tool, Limber or Character tool that are all different attempts at simplifying the process of creating character rigs in After Effects so that you can spend less time setting up everything up, and more time perfecting your animation. Bao Bones is a truly unique approach to character rigs in After Effects. Bao Bones is the only character rig tool that is a plugin and not a script. That means that it works faster, has better distortion and is optimized for performance...Or so they say.
In this video, I share my experience using Bao Bones on a recent project. Bao Bones was a huge time saver for what I needed on this project and for that reason I feel like the purchase was worth it. But will Bao Bones be my go to character rigging tool for all future projects? I don’t think so. Bao Bones will however, be one of the many tools equipped to my After Effects tool belt.

The Tourbox Neo is the ultimate controller for creators. I've been using the Tourbox Neo over the last 3 months and now I want to share my insights.
Is the Tourbox Neo a worthy companion to Adobe After Effects. Could the Tourbox Neo be the turning point in your motion graphics workflow?
To get started I go over the basics of how the tourbox works by showing you how to set it up so that you can hit the ground running. I share some of the road bumps I ran into while using the device, and how I currently have it configured to work with my set up. This is a neat little controller that has a lot of potential for creators. It's versatility means that no matter what creative software you are using, there is a way to take advantage of the control it gives you over your work load. A big thank you to Tourbox for sending this over for me to tinker with.
If you've picked up a NEO for yourself, head over to Tourbox website and grab my preset. tourboxtech.com/en/presets.html and then filter by After Effects.
If you are interested in snagging a Neo for yourself, use this code for $10 off of the Tourbox Neo:

There are many reviews on the Tourbox Neo and its application with some other creative software. Here are some reviews that I found helpful:

There are a lot of different ways to stylize your animations with in After Effects. Stylizing your animations can help to make them look a little bit more organic as it were. Sometimes animations can look a little too clean, and boring. By using this technique you can give your lines a pencil look with imperfections that come with using a pencil.
Line boil happens in cel animation when an object is redrawn for every frame even when that object isn't moving. When this happens, because the lines wont always line up, they have a wobbly, boiling effect.
We can replicate this effect in After Effects to give our clean, keyframed animations a more organic, hand drawn look.

What is great about this approach is that it can be used by those who aren't good at drawing. By using simple shapes to create the basic silhouette of an object, and then use the additional tools Adobe Illustrator provides, you can make some really good illustrations despite not being a experienced artist. The best part? Nobody will be the wiser, and everyone will think you're some kind of artistic prodigy.
