The Most Comprehensive After Effects Training Course on the Internet
If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to create motion graphics with After Effects but didn’t know where to start, then this course is for you.
If you’ve tried developing your After Effects skills on your own, you’ve probably spent countless hours learning by trial-and-error or piecing together your own curriculum from online videos. It’s a frustrating and time-consuming process.
The good news is that you don’t have to do it the hard way anymore. After Effects is a seriously deep program, and best learned with structured, expert guidance. So in these courses, I bring you what I myself learned the hard way over more than 20 years of experience working with After Effects.

I've been able to do simple title animations for years but once I start building more than 10 layers I get totally lost in my own project. I'm almost done with the fundamentals course and blown away by how easily I'm navigating the pre comps and shape layers. Your workflow is so insightful and your cadence and clarity are 12/10. It is quite literally the best course I've ever taken and that's including 4 years of university and 2 years of college.

Hey folks! I've been absent for a bit, and I'm working on catching up with the course now. That said, I've been keeping busy with motion design work-- I just wrapped up a freelance gig today. Before I jumped back into the classroom, I wanted to take a moment to thank Cameron and the Motion Science team for building these incredible courses and helping us all grow as artists.

I'm already getting so much out of the courses. Motion design is something I've been wanting to add to my skill set for a long time and this is only the beginning. Again, thank you!

So I jumped in at the deep end recently with After Effects, having tinkered with the basics for a while and taking several courses c/o Udemy - but nothing really inspired me because none of them really opened the mind to what's possible with After Effects. And then I stumbled upon Motion Science. It's not the usual tutorial of "Do this and do that. Now get out." It says, "Let me show you this; it can do this. Have a play and see what you can do with it. And wait til you see what I'm gonna show you next, you're gonna love it! Oh, and you know that hour you spent getting the transitions to kick-in perfectly on the beat - it's ok to do that. It's ok to be an artist." This(!) is what I have been looking for.

I have taken all the courses. What I like the most and what makes them different from other courses I have taken is that you not only will learn how to use the tools and perform specific techniques but also 'How to think as a Motion Designer' in order to understand and create.
