📝 Description

If you stream on Twitch, you know the problem: blurry panels, mismatched overlays, and static images that kill the vibe. Lucas starts with what actually works — readability on small screens, consistent layout, and motion that supports gameplay instead of distracting from it.

You will build it like a real job. First, lock a concept, then design your main scene in Photoshop and Illustrator. You will set up grids, shapes, and color so you can reuse the same visual identity across everything. Then you stretch that system to the webcam frame, overlay slot, panels, and alerts. No one-off graphics, just a kit that fits together.

Then comes the fun part. You bring it all into After Effects and animate — loops for your starting scene, pops for alerts, subtle moves for frames. Lucas shows you how to keep files light, render with Media Encoder, and set everything up in your streaming software so it just works live. You finish by packing it into a one-click install, which is super handy if you want to share or sell packages later.

🧑‍🎓 Who this course is for

• Streamers and gamers who want a custom look instead of a pre-made template
