7 HUGE Mistakes You're Making As A Motion Designer

[@bbitirim]

I would only give you one humble suggestion: use empty or dummy shape layers instead nulls as parents. Because after a while many nulls in your project will increase your ae file size unnecessarily unlikely the shape layers.

[@motionbyscott]

Interesting, I will have to try this!

[@motionbyscott]

I would switch to the value graph!

[@vamboo8918]

Do you use any transition presets?

[@motionbyscott]

Only in Premiere!

I don't make mistakes. Agencies do.

[@bogdanprisacariu6711]

The mistakes: - use too many plug-ins - rushing your animation (everything happens to fast without moments of pause) - too many effects - rushing your project (You want to finish too fast) - not staying organised - not using nulls - not alligning your layers You're welcome

Apologies! It’s because I use my front facing phone camera to record!

@@motionbyscott ahh, it's not a big deal, I love your editing style, it's rare to find complex animations with only few layers, I'm previously working aura gradients all by using effects and it's getting laggy too, after watching your videos i found the power of layers styles, it's changed my workflow forever, I'm so glad that i found this channel, huge respect and keep growing 💗🙏

[@motionbyscott]

@@musicbuddy1382 Ah thanks! How I edit the videos is something I always question, if it’s enough or not enough especially for KZbin but I try to focus on providing content. I’m glad I could help with some of my videos!

I would use a different title « 7 mistakes you (probably) do in your workflow ». There is nothing exclusively related to AE practice in your examples. You could do the same video about indesign or Blender :)

@@pencilpark Awesome idea!
