Chapter 2 Bringing Static Assets to Life Core Animation Principles

Описание: Welcome to Chapter 2 of our practical guide to Adobe After Effects! 🎬 In the previous chapter, we got comfortable with the interface and created our first composition. Now, it's time for the most exciting part: bringing your layers to life.

This lesson is arguably the most important in the entire series because we are covering the absolute foundation of all motion graphics: Keyframes. We will move beyond static images and learn the secrets to creating smooth, dynamic animation using motion paths and easing techniques.

In this video, we will cover:

12:15 - The Secret to Smooth Motion: Introduction to "Easy Ease" (F9)

15:00 - Adjusting timing by moving keyframes in the Timeline
