Learn my workflow to improve your hand-drawn animations. I'll show you how to use After Effects to make your process of animating frame by frame more accurate.
Frame by frame animation can be intimidating. If you've ever attempted to take the plunge into traditional animation, you know how difficult it can be. When I first started dipping my toes in frame by frame animation, I struggled with was ease in/ease out and timing ( the number of frames an action should take.)
It just wasn't as intuitive as the graph editor in Adobe After Effects. So I developed my own work flow that allows me to take advantage of the graph editor in After Effects to guide me in my traditional animations.
That way when I am drawing frame by frame, I'm reducing the amount of brainpower. All I have to do is focus on the drawing, and After Effects takes care of the spacing and easing. Doing things this way has opened up the possibility of many more dynamic 2D animations.
In this video, I use Rough Animator which is an App you can get on the iPad Pro. However, this workflow will work with any animation software that can import video and export PNG sequences.

#aftereffects #UI #glassmorphism
After Effects is great for creating an app mockup to showcase your clients app. In this video I show you how to replicate the frosted glass effect, otherwise known as "Glass Morphism" using After Effects.
Motion Designers can use Adobe After Effects to mockup an app to show 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.

It's simple, but It's necessary. Unless you are preparing all the artwork yourself inside of After Effects, chances are you'll be working with a designer who has created all the artwork in Illustrator. Learn the different ways you can import art from Illustrator into After Effects.

#aftereffectstutorial #motiongraphics #3Danimation
So I've had a bunch of people reach out to me about how I have done some animations that appear to be 3D, but they are in fact just shape layers where I have animated the path of the shape layer to make it appear as though it is 3D.
In this tutorial, I go over my process for creating this paper airplane to make it look 3D. This does take a little bit of know-how on how things should look when moving through 3D space and takes some practice to get good at. (I'm still learning)
