If you're are a designer and looking to apply effects and transitions to your video, or create animated logos, illustrations or info graphics, Adobe After Effects is the program to use.
The tools in After Effects make it very easy to build video compositions, add video effects and motion graphics to bring your presentation to life.
This course has been carefully created to bring you up to speed with the program and how to use it.
On this course, you’ll learn all the methods I use to create my videos.
So if you’ve never used After Effects before, are wondering how it works and want to try some simple animation, this course is for you!
In this series, we will be starting from the very beginning and working our way across 48 episodes to learn all the basics and eventually put it all into practise and build a video presentation project of your own.
To help break down the process I have structured the course into 3 main sections:
Section 1 – Introduction
Section 2 – Essential practice
Section 3 – Create a project
So, once you have downloaded the project PDF and the project folder.
Let’s get into it!

There have been some reported issues with the font as supplied with the course folder.
The font currently in the AE download files for some reason is not picking up the ‘Lemon Milk’ font as intended when you install it straight out of the box.
Some users after installing the font are finding it still does not register in the After Effects files.
FIX:
If the font does not register once installed, You will have to re-assign the ‘Lemon milk’ font in AE.
Simply select the type, go to the character panel and and re-set the type to ‘Lemon Milk’ to update.
This should rectify the problem.
Alternatively you can download another version of the font here:

This has reportedly resolved the issue.
