Make moving words and images.
Animate titles, logos and backgrounds on Mac or PC with {{After-Effects}} industry-standard motion graphics software. Customise high-quality motion design templates or create your own to use over and over again in your projects.
Animate logos using compositions.
Create compositions by importing files from {{Adobe-Illustrator}}, {{Adobe-Photoshop}}, {{Adobe-Premiere-Pro}} or other {{Adobe}} apps. You can position, scale and rotate layers to record multiple keyframes and create animation.
Bring objects and backgrounds to life.
Move an object through a scene by recording keyframes. Fine-tune animation paths by placing and adjusting anchor points. For background effects, you can generate anything from looping graphic shapes to flowing organic patterns.
Build customised transitions.
Go beyond wipes and fades. With {{After-Effects}}, you can make dynamic transitions by animating shapes and colours. Create animated masks that add sparkle to your scene changes.
Use expressions to create motion graphics.
Build and link complex animations without having to use tens — or hundreds — of keyframes. Add flickering and wiggling effects to make your words and objects move.
Make {{After-Effects}} part of your editing and animation process.
Fine-tune your videos without going back and forth between apps by bringing work from other Adobe apps into {{After-Effects}}.
Add motion graphics to a video.
Create {{After-Effects}} motion graphics templates to use in video editing. After you share your templates via {{Adobe-Creative-Cloud}} Libraries, you can customise them in ((Premiere-Pro}}.
Bring 2D characters to life.
Create characters in {{Photoshop}} or {{Illustrator}}. Then animate them in real time in {{Character-Animator}} and add them to {{After-Effects}} to create a composited scene.
Cultivate motion graphics mastery.
Take your motion graphics skills to the next level with these helpful step-by-step guides to animating.
Animate line patterns.
Learn how to grow complex line patterns organically. You can experiment with a sample line pattern composition or use your own multi-line vector illustration from {{Adobe-Illustrator}}.
Position 2D layers in 3D space.
Explore the 3D software capabilities in {{After- Effects}}. Learn how to enable 3D elements on any layer and how to manipulate that layer in 3D space.
Paint with animation.
Find out how to create and edit animated brushstrokes. Use the Brush tool in the Paint workspace and then adjust the timing of the stroke by repositioning keyframes.
Add realistic special effects.
Learn motion graphics and video compositing techniques by animating a VFX flying saucer. Create a handheld camera effect and add motion blur for added realism.
