  • In this After Effects Tutorial, I'll show you how to animate abstract shapes! And how to connect several scenes together!
    ► Download the project file here: gumroad.com/manueldoesmotion
    We’ll deep-dive into animation to get the transitions, organic moves and the timing of this animation right.
    Content:

    That was pretty cool,
    I guess the only reason why you don't have much more subs yet, is cuz your tuts are more challenging that other ppl make on youtube.
    But pretty awesome.

    Hi Manuel. Thanks for this tutorial. Few minutes into the tutorial, after you converted to bezier path. I added KF to the path and morphed the shape into a straight line but when I play back, the animation doesn’t seem to have happened. Any guides on how to fix this?

    • @ManueldoesMotion
      @ManueldoesMotion  Před 2 lety +1

      Hmmm... It could be a playback issue, like maybe your disk cache is full and you need to empty it in the After Effects Preferences. Or you added the keyframes to another property by accident.

      You need to select both points, then press command + T, then move the two points together, hold Alt / Option while dragging them towards the Centre.

    This tut is good but hard to comprehend. no initial reason for your actions. it helps when you talk about why you re taking steps not just vabally repeating what your are doing. you need to teach us why... why you are choosing certain keyframes and values... etc. just try and explain your moves.

    • @ManueldoesMotion
      @ManueldoesMotion  Před 2 lety +1

      Thanks very much for your feedback! I try to find a balance between the length of the video and the amount of content. But I#ll try to explain more in future videos for sure.

      @@ManueldoesMotion That Wil be wonderful. By the way, if its going to be called a tut, i think we should be more interested in making it more easy at the expense of time. Once more, it is a great tut. will post my own version when i can. i remade mine from this and it is really awsome. good Job.
