How To Animate Like Dan Koe - Minimalistic Animations (After Effects Tutorial)

[@nathanevans9678]

You're unreal. I don't even use AE and I learn so much watching you

[@mapal]

Means a lot man!

[@malayangkaalaman]

pls make more of these, you bring hope to my editing career

[@ivandjuricic92]

All other Dan Koe tutorials are recreation of his videos. I loved that you made a tutorial using your own elements and story. That helps quite a bunch to explain it better than the others. Kudos!

[@mapal]

Appreciate that! Glad you enjoyed

[@crtvfrdm]

hey mapal, great videos! one thing I noticed in a few videos of yours now is that when you want to cut a layer, I see you use cmd+shift+d and then delete the duplicates, but there is a shortcut built into after effects that does this without having to manually delete the extra layers! if you hit alt/option + ] it will cut off the layer at the playhead. it works with hitting [ instead of ] to cut off the layer at the left side of the playhead. hitting the square brackets without using alt/option will just move the layers in/out point to the playhead. it's a small optimization but maybe you or some other viewers find this useful!

[@mapal]

Oh shoot that’s sick! I had no clue. Definitely sounds way more efficient. Appreciate the heads up!

[@halal.editordz]

Hey bro, can u tell me what's the name of this shortcut, cz my keyboard is french and brackets don't do the same thing! Thank you

[@Gorashial7ori]

Man where have you been all this time I was looking for a channel that explains animation like this , Thanks bro ,,❤❤❤❤❤

Glad I could help!

Dope tutorial! I freaking love the little tips for the sauce at the end, it helped level up my work so much

[@mapal]

Hahah I’m glad it’s helpful! Adding just that little bit extra at the end can really help pull everything together

[@waleedcchavez]

You're amazing man. I've kept coming across content in this style - or something similar - all over social and I've always wondered how the hell they make those because they look so cool. I just started learning animation & motion design a few days ago, so seeing this tutorial really blew my mind because it really does help a lot. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this!

[@mapal]

That makes me happy to hear! Awesome to hear that you’ve started on the journey to learn. I love when people throw themselves at something new

[@aymixture8271]

can u tell me which plugin he is used in adobe illustrate

[@RishSalongaEdits]

Brooo, you always covers what style I need, Im starting to think you’re watching me 😂

[@mapal]

[@TanTaoMedia]

This was brilliantly made, easy to understand and spot on to the nature of a Dan Koe animation. Definitely going to binge watch all you other videos!

[@jason_dyre]

"Give it some sexy speed." Great tutorial brother. Thank you for this.

[@mapal]

It’s the cure for anything!

Aye thank you! Definitely working towards it!!!

[@Gogins90]

Bro, just recently I stumbled upon Dan's channel and I really enjoyed his animations. Your video is as timely as ever! Bless! 🙏

[@mapal]

That’s awesome to hear! Thank you

[@vitalef]

Solid tutorial, try setting key frame interpolation to special/linear to get nice sharp bounces… if that’s the desire.

[@AkashDas-me9zg]

Very helpful ❤

[@ecotimes.3797]

Congratulation brother, you are the first youtuber ,whose video i watched in 0.75x😂

[@mapal]

Hahaha love it!

[@wrenamv6034]

I'm new here in your channel. It's been 2/3 days maybe here. Your every video is literally awesome. From my point of view this channel is literally a hidden gem. Wish you good luck on your journey. Also I've a question, in many of your videos there are tons of sfx that I literally don't know where to get. So if you could mention the sites, it'd be a great help.

[@mapal]

Thank you, I appreciate it a bunch! I get all my sound stuff from Artlist

[@wrenamv6034]

[@blondelchedjou6202]

Thank you for this tutorial. Please can you give me the name of the plug-in that you use to send your illustrations to Illustrator to After Effects?

[@mapal]

It’s a plugin called Overlord by Battleaxe!

[@Kuross.]

can you maybe make a breakdown of your sounddesign, like Sky did. Based on a project. To show your creative choise making. In spicing up your animations?

[@mapal]

COMING SOON! And by soon I mean first half of December hehe

[@Kuross.]

@@mapal​​⁠ hahah So on the 15th as we know it😂 It would be also nice to know how you level your audio if there is animation only vs with voiceover. How you take care of having always the perfekt leveling. As a reference. Thanks man for your commitment!❤

[@keval.p]

this is fire

[@mapal]

Thank you bro!

[@4Dul69]

At 3:07 I cannot see the curve lines on my preview window, anyone knows how to enable them??

[@mapal]

If you right click your keyframes -> interpolation -> pick any of the bezier options instead of linear

[@cliffordhanger]

[@parvanehsaeid]

u just life saver man tnx a lot ;)

[@shadeflectx]

PLEASE can you tell me how this sound effect is called on 0:30 - 0:35 when the text is popping which sound effect you used there and where did you downloaded it from?

[@mapal]

It’s some click sound effect from Artlist that I tweaked to sound a bit nicer

[@shadeflectx]

Thanks for answering , which tweaks have you added to the sound effect? and do you remember by any chance how the sound effect is called on Artlist?@@mapal

[@ramizseekschrist]

good video! question, 2:51 , how come when you moved the ball to the left side, the corner was round right away? im pretty new into the after effects world rn so thats why im asking

[@mapal]

At 1:51 ish I increased the roundness of the rounded rectangle a bunch. That way as long as it’s a perfect square it looks like a circle. Hopefully that answers your question!

[@ramizseekschrist]

thanks! is there any way i can get the"flow" panel for free?@@mapal

[@basmaabdelfatah1677]

3 month take course and paid money to learn no one teach me like you thanks really for all thing

[@mapal]

Aye that’s sick! Appreciate that

[@BoeierShorts]

When you use overlord how do you make it so your 'shape' only consists of one layer? When I import a png to AI and use image trace --> expand, I get 10+ individual shape layers that then also get imported to AE. Do you have a solution to this?

[@BoeierShorts]

nvm I had the 'explode shapes' option enabled :)

[@mapal]

I like importing it into Ae as one and then if I need to split it up I use Motion Tools’ extract shapes feature! Gives me a bit more flexibility

[@diana_banana]

Nice 👏🏾

[@egzonbllaca797]

Hi maypal,I saw your other tutorials that you had made earlier and i think they are really great but i can't follow the tutorials, because you don't leave an asset of the photos and videos you have in your tutorial, so if you can do that in future tutorials it would be great or maybe could you tell me the reason why you dont share the assets used in the tutorial? (You are a great teacher)

[@mapal]

Thank you! I release the project files on my Patreon. With that being said some files you aren’t allowed to share from a legal perspective. There is a big difference between using something in your work and redistributing the original file. In those cases I give a direct link to where I found said asset. Hopefully that makes sense!

[@egzonbllaca797]

@@mapal Thank you for the respond Yeah it does make sense now!😅

[@laylawynne5616]

How did you change the colour of the playhead and other elements of your AE programme to that lime green?

[@mapal]

You can change it in settings although its a bit more complicated than that. There are a good few videos on it if you look up something like "change colour of after effects"

[@sheridanray5521]

Could you do a video like Ben Marriott’s animations?

[@SonoLucaMoretti]

You look like to be a crack in After Effects dude, big respect! Can I ask you a question? How do you have "rounded fill edges" with Ellipse extrusion in After Effects (C4d render), I mean, you know, having "true bold" round and fill extrusion (like a donut?) not a thin one (try it in the software if isn't understandable (sorry for that)). Sorry I'm a noobie and still dont find the solution in the internet

[@mapal]

Thank you hahah! As far as I know Ae for some reason doesn’t have spheres or donuts. Honestly don’t know why. You can fake it using a few different effects but your best option is probably using cinema4d lite to get a donut shape in your comp

[@Cosmo-.-]

What is the thing he uses in illustrator to bring the images to after effects?

[@mapal]

It’s a paid plugin called Overlord

[@RheaMitra-jl6wh]

Hi, I love the tutorial, but how did you add speed to the animation? Can you pls tell me that? It would be of great help.

What do you mean by speed? Like sexy speed? If so that’s a plugin called flow and “sexy speed” is one of my presets for that plugin
