Dots to lines to letters - Adobe After Effects tutorial

[@stoelpootj]

6 Years ago in ran into this video. Had zero experience in After Effects or any design tools. Fast forward to today, I just signed my first contract as an allround Filmmaker and 2D animator. Thanks Evan! 🤙

[@kdsketch]

I studied animation at uni for three years and no 'motion graphics' lesson was ever so informative or easy to follow as this! Thank you so much! Definitely going to check out the rest of your tutorials!

[@ECAbrams]

Glad to hear it! If you have any troubles reach out any time.

[@craigoconnor6361]

I love the way you say certain words like "out"... Canadian voices get me every time. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@justinecrawfish]

awesome tutorial! and your voice is super friendly and fun

Hah!

[@edytoniq8476]

Out of every other videos on KZbin only yours was good. Straight to the topic and no bullshit.

[@angelescresthwy]

This is so great! After taking basic classes, I have been self-teaching, and Abrams has the best online tutorials! He is so familiar with the inner workings of the program, and is easy to follow, even though he goes fast. Thanks so much!

[@databang]

I giggled when you said, "planning is important... even for dumb little gifs."

I just realized something....Your voice is so soothing that it helps me sleep. Not as an insult but actually...I want to listen to you just bc of your voice

[@cameronh.2554]

You are an amazing commentator... The commentating itself makes the task at hand a lot less intimidating and for a very entertaining video!

[@how2ae]

1. Draw any path in Illustrator with pen (don't use fill, stroke only) 2. Open in After Effects, animate using trim path.

"Weeeeeeeeeeee-that's pretty lame.." haha this dude rocks, I'm subbing.

[@amine250]

I feel intimidated by the difficulty of your tutorials !

[@ECAbrams]

Everyone is new to something once. Even me.

[@amine250]

you're a f*cking professional man! hands down

[@PopcornLobotomyMovies]

Exactly. One of the reasons I love your tutorials is that you don't shy away from mixing it up with supposedly "advanced" features like the Graph Editor. In fact, you taught me that these features needed to become second nature, not feared and avoided. IMO, giving yourself permission to do things "the hard way" is half the battle in motion graphics. The idea that there are always easy answers can quickly become a self-limiting belief, one that a lot of other tutorials perpetuate.

[@danyteo]

"The power of magic" I love the way you explain things! You change my bad days :D

[@aligurkan4882]

Bro it’s very intimidating! I’ve been slacking on it for a month now. The symbols are very confusing. You have to train your mind to

[@Neceros]

The ease ease gives it a train or subway feel. Like it.

[@kimsdesignlab]

Great video and really helpful! I couldn't get a grasp on how the setuper works but it's all clear now.

[@shoyaibhossen475]

Deadly beautiful design

[@UpchurchBrand]

Don't confuse yourself with fills. Phil's a very confusing person. Very clever. Very helpful tutorial too. I've become a better person because after watching this.

[@rumorfymedia]

You should do a tutorial on your creative process for mographics. How do you come up with an idea? Do you usually make stuff with effects you already know how to use or do you experiment and learn something new for projects? Thanks

[@husseinhammoud1543]

That would awesome!

[@CephasCastle]

I keep finding all of the AE tutorials I need on your channel. Thank you!!

[@bernadettkovacs5423]

Your tutorial is very good, love it, but your voice is so soothing, I almost fell asleep twice while watching, although I care what I see on the screen :D

[@piggytheterrorofficial7689]

[@morgflorg1281]

Thanks for the video! I know how to use trim paths, but I wasn't sure how people plan out the animation for trim paths. This was so helpful! I will share my animation bit when I'm done.

Great tutorial! Definitely learnt a lot here; mostly than planning here definitely makes life easier later on, and working backwards is the way forwards ;D I love seeing how you approach each effect - motion graphics is slowly starting to make sense to me know, thanks EC Abrams!

[@ECAbrams]

I am happy to hear that. Stay tuned for more techniques like these. People seem to be into them.
