Join Alan Demafiles for an in-depth discussion in this video Building a simple logo animation, part of After Effects CC 2017 Essential Training: Editors and Post.
- [Instructor] As part of your duties as an editor…you'll most likely be tasked with animating a logo.…In this movie, we'll take an example logo…and use a few simple techniques such as use of track mattes…and a few key frames to build up a more…interesting logo reveal.…Now, there's certainly no right or wrong way to do this,…and I highly encourage you to experiment on your own,…and you might find that you'll reach different…and unique results using the same techniques…that I'll use here.…So here in this composition,…I've got four layers of this h plus sport logo.…And, let's think about a game plan…of how to use these elements to animate on.…
