Next, I'll teach you how to build your own custom transitions in After Effects using shape layers and basic keyframes to create a cascading animation for motion graphics.
I'll also share a tip for changing the colors of all your layers throughout multiple compositions in one place, by using the Color Control effect and a simple expression.
Fun, easy, fast to render, and looks great! Use the basics I share to create your own unique transitions!
For the fourth and final project you'll learn how to create a title using the text tool and character settings, animate using shape layers and the scale property, mirror layers, adjust keyframes, use track mattes, and create a stroke and background for your text. Lastly, we'll cover how to polish the look by color correcting and creating a vignette.
