After Effects Smooth Transitions - Animation Tutorial pt. 1
Vložit
- čas přidán 4. 07. 2024
- In this after effects tutorial, I break down how I created this looping coffee animation. I explore workflow, easing & 2D - 3D transitions (well, fake 3D). I'm planning on doing follow up parts exploring more of the transitions and how they were executed and the thought process behind them. The follow-up parts won't be next week, but hopefully not too long. This tutorial is suitable for intermediate users. Please leave a comment if you'd like me to explain anything I skimmed over.
I'm uploading new motion design & animation tutorials every Thursday!

Newbie here! :D How do you access the size property for the ellipse? No one seems to be talking about this anywhere (or my google fu is really just weaksauce.) Thanks!
EDIT: NVM! Found it under Ellipse Path. (In the contents dropdown of the shape layer). Leaving this here just in case there are others who needed this info. Thanks!)
Thanks so much! Appreciate you leaving the solution as well. 🙌🏻 The internet needs more people like you
I'm still having your problem! I'm working with an illustrator file, and I created shapes from the vector layers. But when I toggle everything down I can't find the 'size' option and it keeps on scaling the stroke.... Does someone has a solution for this? BTW your videos are indeed amazing!!
omg thanks for sharing!!! you just saved my day haha
@@nelebrughmans8379 this one is a bit tricky and requires some expressions. Alt-click the stroke parameter and type in this:
s = {pickwhip the shape's scale property here} / 100;
value / s[0]
Hope this helps!
@@BenMarriott Hi Ben! How do you turn the "Black Cup" in the Main comp? In the comp "Black Cup", the cup is turned in the other direction.
I guessed! just need to select "Flip Horizontal"
I have never written a yt comment in my entire life but I just want to express how much I appreciate your tutorials! I click on one expecting to learn the particular thing from the title, and I end up taking notes of all the incredible tips you manage to smuggle into your content. Thank you for making these! (funny thing: I decided to write the comment, scrolled down and saw another person commented the same, I guess this means your tutorials really stand out :) )
Thank you so much Anita! That's so damn nice of you to say. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and leave such an awesome comment. :D Smuggling in tips was my goal when I started this channel. I've learned so much from watching over the shoulders of colleagues and just talking to them about their files and animation and I wanted to give as close to that experience as possible. I'm so glad that you're finding them useful.
Hi anita
Lurker
No way!!! You're simply the best! I just found out your channel and I'm in love! You are so talented and your art is so unique! Congratulations, I love it so much!
Thanks so much, I'm really flattered! :)
Ben you're amazing! Finally a youtube channel teaching advanced skills from real projects :)
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much! Thats so amazing to read. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. :D
AH I love this animation!!! So glad you’re doing a tutorial. Incredible as always!!!
Thanks Amanda! :D I really appreciate it
Yes! Please continue the deepdives, I really like experiencing the thought processes and workflow elements. Find that super valuable in terms of how I think about my own work and learn from creators a d designers
Thanks so much! Thats great to read :D I really like to explain things thoroughly, It's great to know there's a place for that. These 30 second AE hacks have been poppin' lately so thought that might be the only way to play these days.
Ben, I have discovered you today and after watching to 2 videos, I have immediately subscribed. I have seen hundreds of after effects tutorials, but I can say that yours have something different, the vibe and the content. I believe that by then end of this project you will be able to cover a lot of tricks and tips, and this is what the viewer wants to see. Well done again and keep up the great work.
Thank you so much! That's so amazing to read. I'm so glad you're finding them useful :D
How have I not found your channel before!!! I've been using after effects going on 2 years now but not actively the entire time and only really using it when I had time up until last October when I started getting more serious about it and spending hours watch all sorts of tutorials.. This was on my recommendations and I'm so glad I clicked it cuz even though I know how to use the grid and all the creativity in this was just amazing and gave me some inspiration. I only started using illustrator last week (Just started in motion/visual design school) and hadn't really thought about combining the 2 until now so thank :)
Thank you so much! That's so amazing to hear :D I really appreciate the support :)
Not sure many understand just how valuable this series is... I can't believe I'm watching this for free..
This is incredible! I love the way it flows and handles the change of perspective!
Haha, Thank you :D So glad you found it useful
I downloaded the project, thanks buddy for being a good person and a great teacher! I appreciate all the effort and time you put into this. Your tutorials help me to be more creative!
Yes, this format's great. It's also instructive to see the 'fudges' and less-elegant solutions that get used in real projects. Looking forward to a breakdown of the coffeebean-to-cups transition.
Thanks so much! I was getting a big self-conscious about some of my ideas not being the "perfect" way to do something. That so great to hear that seeing the dirty reality that so much animation is a hacked solution to make it work in one specific circumstance. I think I'll show more of that, I don't want to show motion design as this unobtainable standard like photoshoped magazine cover or perfect elegant solution to all problems, haha. :D
Wow. People really don't appreciate just how creative and inventive AE users are. I have a feeling I'll be learning a lot from your channel in the coming weeks.
Thank you so much for the appreciation!! I hope you'll enjoy these tutorials :)
This animation is one of my favourite! So glad you're giving us all the secrets, haha! Thanks a lot
Thanks youuuuu! :D Stoked you dig it
Thank you so much! Favorite after effects channel so far :)
This might be the first or second time I'm leaving a CZcams comment, and I have consumed a shit ton of CZcams videos in my life. Just never felt the need to write anything. Right now I do : your tutorials are crystal clear, straightforward and also have a nice style. To me this is the best Ae channel I've came across. Keep it up man !
Dude, that so damn nice of you to say. I really appreciate the time you spend to watch some of them and leave a comment. :) It's really awesome to hear that encouragement and know that there will plenty more of these videos coming :D Thanks so much!
Have to agree the pacing is just right and the information is top notch.. Do more stuff your content is great!
Couldn't agree more
Thank you so much! So glad you're finding it useful :)

Most AE channels do not explain this stuff in so much detail, so THANK YOU for this
Thank you so much, I'm glad you like it this way :)

Hi, Ben. I'm a Korean subscriber. Thank you very much for posting good lectures. Your lecture is very helpful for me studying alone. Sharing your talents with others is not easy. But I wanted to express my gratitude in poor English for your hard work and kindness in sharing your skills. Thank you so much!!
Thats so nice of you to say. Thank you so much. So glad my videos have been helpful 😊
thank you so much for sharing the project
Haha ngl seeing how this is all done is stressing me out, it’s probably because I still don’t understand how to use after effects but it’s really cool to see all the work and thought that goes into animating.
the amount of time it takes to make so smoll things that one would barely notice is humungous, i hope ai would do it just by telling it to do it.
you just earned new supportive for life. Keep up the good work sir
Thank you so much, will do!
THANK YOU! For all your knowledge bombs you drop in your tuts 💣
Thanks so much for watching! :D I really appreciate it
Buttery smooth, pogchamp
Haha, Thanks so much! gotta be buttery
A plugin diet is a must every now and then to really understand the theory in behind what your doing plus you have more control in the end 👊🏿
100% :D I found what I thought were helping me were holding me back in the long-run
@@BenMarriott that and you can get into a deep rabbit hole of buying plugins. I actually need to go on a plugin fast myself lol
Just discovered your channel. I want to learn animation and you are giving out great content! Keep it up
Do not get me wrong Ben. I love your videos. Something that would be a nice change once in a while is the bgm you always use.
