In this tutorial, we animate a shape so it looks like it’s being designed in Illustrator. One "graceful" curve at a time, like a pen tool with performance anxiety. Perfect for slick logo builds, icon reveals, or tricking your audience into thinking this took way longer than it actually did.
In this tutorial, we turn text into shapes (because we like commitment), then animate the stroke using Trim Paths. So your words elegantly draw themselves on like they’re arriving at a fancy lettering party. Great for title reveals, logo builds, or impressing clients who think this stuff is actual witchcraft.
In this tutorial, we show you how to put text on a path—so your words can finally curve, arc, and swirl like they’ve had one too many margaritas. Great for fancy titles, logos, or making your captions look like they’re trying to escape the screen.

Trying to make your text fly in by character—but it’s coming in backwards like it’s being typed by a confused time traveler? This tutorial shows you how to fix that, so your letters enter in the order you actually wrote them, not whatever After Effects felt like that day.
In this video, we animate lines in a grid, because nothing says “organized chaos” like a bunch of rectangles appearing in a perfectly controlled panic. We’re using opacity expressions, track mattes, and something called Grinder, which sounds intense but mostly helps your grid not look like it was made by raccoons.
In this tutorial, we animate text stroke and tracking using the range selector, because every letter deserves its own dramatic entrance. It’s perfect for making your words look like they’re slowly gaining confidence, and possibly forming a union.
In this tutorial, we build a majestic Ferris wheel in After Effects, and then use expressions to make sure the carriages don’t spin wildly and fling passengers into the stratosphere. Because physics is important. And lawsuits are expensive.

In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to make text appear one letter at a time, like it’s being typed by a ghost with excellent kerning. It’s the typewriter effect. But smoother, classier, and with fewer existential questions than actually using a typewriter.
Learn how to make slick golf graphics in After Effects. Complete with maps, masks, and just enough easing to make it look like you meant to do it that way. Because nothing says “pro editor” like parenting layers and pretending you play golf.
Learn how to make your text jitter like it just slammed three espressos. We’re using Turbulent Displace with Posterize Time, because sometimes After Effects just needs to have a controlled meltdown.
In this tutorial, we bravely wrestle with Turbulent Displace. An After Effects effect that makes your footage look like it’s melting, vibrating, or possibly having a minor identity crisis. Perfect for when you want your graphics to scream “I’m artsy AND unstable!”
