📝 Description

This isn’t a theory-heavy lecture. It’s a practical, project-based course where you build real animations from the first lesson. You’ll start by understanding the core logic of how After Effects reads and animates text, then immediately apply it.

The curriculum is structured to build your skills step-by-step. You’ll start with simple, elegant title animations and lower thirds—the bread and butter of any motion designer. From there, you’ll move into more complex territory: using the Saber plugin for sci-fi titles, creating glitch effects, and building full kinetic typography sequences. The instructor, Aditya Gawde, focuses on showing you the exact workflow, so you can follow along and adapt the techniques for your own projects. By the end, you’ll have a library of techniques you can pull from for any client brief.
