Introduction to After Effects Interface
We explore the basics of the AE interface, and then import the AI Grid file we created earlier.
Exercise
- Create a 4 second Main Timeline
- Create 6 animated Loops for the 6 squares with patterns in them
- Use only simple Transform based animation using Scale, Rotation and Position.
- Explore Effects like Clockwipe, Venetian Blinds and more...
- The objective end requirement for this project is that it should be a "perfect loop"
