Always wanted to learn how to use Adobe After Effects, but tend to get overwhelmed with all of the tools available? Well then, this class is a great place to start!

I’m Taylor, a freelance motion and graphic designer with 3+ years of experience in animation for small and large businesses. I’m super excited to share my knowledge and get you animating in After Effects in no time!

In this class, we will be creating a simple monoline design and animation using a tool called Trim Paths in Adobe After Effects. Trim Paths is a tool that allows you to make precise adjustments to shape layer paths. I will be walking you through creating a design in Adobe Illustrator, then importing that design in Adobe After Effects to add animations.

During this class, you’ll learn how to:

Create a simple monoline design in Adobe Illustrator
Import files for animation into Adobe After Effects
Use & animate with the Trim Path tool
Techniques for creating an effective and stunning animation
Render your final product to share with the world

With all of the tools in After Effects, it's easy to get overwhelmed with all of the options. So this is a great class for beginners to get started in After Effects, as well as intermediate users who may have overlooked using trim paths in their animations.

I truly believe that setting limitations and focusing on one tool can produce amazing work and give you the confidence you need to explore more!

So let's get started — see you in class!
