What You’ll Learn In Fundamentals on After Effects

• LESSON #1: After Effects Basics
  In this lesson, you will get familiar with After Effects Interface and Shape Layers structure and, of course, create your first animation. By the end of the course, you will make a fish jump! Seems easy, isn’t it?
• LESSON #2: Background Elements
  By the end of this lesson, you will animate the whole bunch of branches, leaves, and bushes. And look, that fish is already jumping out of the water! Oh wait, the stars are flickering too and some of them are even falling. It already looks promising.
• LESSON #3: Main Objects
  Here you will literally play with fire and make characters alive. We will cover the principles on the right guy with a guitar, and you can do whatever you want with others.
• LESSON #4: Stylization
  The last step of animation would be to add some textures and glows, and voilà! Our animation is ready.
• LESSON #5: Render & GIF Optimization
  Now, what’s cool about making something you can’t share, right? We’ve added a tutorial on how you can export this animation into GIF to share it with the whole world.
