Dear Motion Design Community,

We are experts in communication - Today our voices are needed loud and clear:

We stand against violence. We stand for peace for ALL people. 

Learn how to create a 3D scene in Adobe After Effects with just a few 2D photos. We distribute the photos in 3D space and animate a camera move to create a parallax effect. With the help of iExpressions it is very easy to convert the 2D scene into a 3D scene with depth and a parallax effect.

If you are looking for creative ways to animate texts in Adobe After Effects, this tutorial series is for you. We start with some tips on how to come up with text designs and then show easy and creative ways to animate your texts in Ae using Squash & Stretch Pro

Learn how the new Quantization Feature of BeatEdit for Premiere Pro and After Effects makes your beat detection even more accurate.

Learn how to auto-resize complex shapes like hearts, circles, diamonds, stars, etc using iExpressions in After Effects

In this interview, we talk to Mike Odendahl about the technical challenges of the project and how Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe Audition allow him to work effectively. We also talk about our Extension BeatEdit (which is available for Premiere Pro, Audition and After Effects) and how it streamlines Mike's work.

Ever wanted to learn scripting in After Effects? Mathias (aka mamoworld) will hold a four-hour session on exactly that at Adobe Video World again this year! Due to the coronavirus it's a digital only conference this time, so it's a great chance to join this amazing event from anywhere in the world!

mamoworld shows how to create an automatic text box on a single text layer in After Effects. No expressions or scripts required.

Learn how to properly animate scale when doing squash and stretch on your animations in After Effects

Learn how to use Mocha's planar tracker along with MochaImport+ to stabilize tricky drone timelapse footage.

Learn how to easily use iExpressions to add elastic deformation to a shape layer in After Effects to make it deform automatically when you move it. As an example, we use a plant whose leaves and branches swing when moved with a few simple settings.

In this quick tip want to show you that with GridGuide for After Effects, you can even snap to rotated grids.

Learn how to create a dynamic multi-part text box using Pins & Boxes by mamoworld.

The Beat Wiggle feature of BeatEdit for After Effects is a great tool to animate texts - in particular, if you combine it with our TextExploder to animate each letter individually. In this tutorial, you create a complex text animation the easy way and also learn about a super useful and flexible expression to add to your arsenal.

Learn how to automatically animate a complex, multi-step drummer in no time! This tutorial uses BeatEdit for Ae, along with Joysticks & Sliders and Limber.

You’ve built a dynamic layout with Pins & Boxes and wonder how to center it in your comp? Here is a super easy and general approach to center it around any pin or box of your layout! Use this in your Mogrt templates!

In this tutorial series learn how to create dynamic layouts in After Effects using Pins & Boxes. This is especially useful if you are creating Mogrt projects!

Learn how to apply expressions to 2D and 3D properties, such that you don’t have to separate dimensions anymore.

On the technical side, you learn what arrays are and we also talk a lot about variables - how you create and use them and why they make your expressions more modular and readable.

If you want to move After Effects layers with a mocha track, it is a VERY bad idea to apply the tracking data to a null object or directly to the position, scale and rotation of your layers: The result is very inaccurate, because the skew and perspective deformation of the track is ignored if you are doing that. A much more accurate way to move layers is using a corner pin effect, but with a normal corner pin, your layers are stretched into the corner pin surface which is often not what you want. The “keep current frame” option of MochaImport+ offers a 100% accurate solution that is as easy to use as a null layer. Learn how to do “keep current frame” corner pins in less than 4 minutes!
