Sequence #1

We’ll set up our After Effects project, import our designs, and start bringing them to life. You’ll learn how to work with 3D space, cameras, and depth of field to create a super smooth zoom-in transition. By the end of this lesson, you’ll have nailed your first complex transition and be ready to tackle even more dynamic moves.

Sequence #2

In this one, we’ll create a long animated scene using side panning and zoom-ins to make everything feel smooth and professional. You’ll learn how to structure your Illustrator layers, automate text boxes, and mix 2D and 3D elements for a polished motion graphics look. After this, you’ll be able to create stunning scene transitions with ease.

Sequence #3

It’s time to take transitions to the next level with 3D space! You’ll set up a complex scene, prepare layers for animation, and use the Cinema 4D Renderer to build a 3D laptop with real extrusion. Then, we’ll bring it to life with smooth sphere motion, refined easing techniques, and micro animations for UI panels and character interactions. Finally, we’ll seamlessly zoom into the 3D laptop for an epic transition.

Sequence #4

We’re working with multiple text boxes, smooth camera moves, and a dynamic podium scene in this lesson. You’ll learn how to organize your layers in 3D space, use parallax effects, and refine animations with depth of field. We’ll also troubleshoot common timing issues and optimize your project structure for a cleaner workflow.

Sequence #5

Let’s get creative with storytelling through motion! We’ll use the word "Join" as a mask for a unique text-based transition, applying track mattes and 3D scaling. You’ll animate diamonds in slow motion, build an animated gradient background, and fine-tune keyframes for ultra-smooth motion. Then, we’ll shift the scene’s vibe from dark to bright with a bouncing ball animation, refining motion paths and making the text react dynamically. Finally, we’ll add color changes and outro animations for a seamless transition into the next scene.

Sequence #6

Before we wrap up, we need to make sure everything looks perfect. This lesson focuses on optimizing your project by collapsing precomps, converting necessary layers to 3D, and organizing everything for a smooth rendering process. You’ll also learn how to adjust color depth, clean up unused assets, and export your project in the highest quality. Now, you’re officially ready to show off your work!
