- [Voiceover] Hello, my name is Ian Robinson, and I'd like to welcome you to After Effects Principles of Motion Graphics. In this course, I'll show you how to create motion graphics with after effects, but rather than primarily focusing on the tools, I'll show you some industry-standard motion graphic work flows and techniques. We'll start by looking at the overall process of creating motion graphics, but quickly move on to some more conceptual techniques like how to find inspiration. Then we'll move into some more hands-on training, from working with type, textures, and colors to lighting and camera animation techniques.
I'll also show you some of my personal go-to tips for some more common tasks like creating title designs, or making more dynamic transitions. And finally, we'll even cover the best practices for creating and delivering your final projects. So whether you're a full time motion graphic designer, or an editor looking to round out your skills, this course will prepare you for the next level. Now let's get on with it and start creating some motion graphics.
Q: How do I transition from one piece of animated type to another in After Effects?
