Do you want to learn more about or enhance your skills in after effects? Well, Motion Design School is a great option to check out. They offer individual courses and a masterclass that one can apply for and enroll in. But, if you aren’t able to you might enjoy their free webinars usually hosted on Youtube. Jaroslav Koronov, is the founder of the Motion Design School, and he hosted a webinar on the new tool, Motion Beast 2.
This webinar ran through information about the updated and new website for the Motion Design School. He offered an explanation of how to use it and how the process works if you were to decide to apply and enroll. As for the software, this webinar felt like a preview of what the course would entail if you are interested in learning more about the Motion Beast 2 tool. These tools can be found as extension tools in your ‘Window’ tab.
It was a little hard to follow so I definitely had to take down notes and went back to rewatch the video. The cool thing I realized about these extension tools is that it makes the workflow faster because if you want to do something like separate layers from each other or ungroup certain elements within layers, these extensions such as motion beast 2 can do the work for you, instead of doing it manually and individually yourself. Lastly, a helpful tip, if you have an illustration from illustrator, you are able to import that Ai file into after effects and manipulate the motion from there. Beware, the any parts of an illustration that you wish to animate has to be on its own layer in illustrator.
