Making a basic After Effects animation for a website

- With limited motion-graphics skills, I made an animation to demonstrate our app for the header of our marketing site! Here's a walkthrough of how I did it. (Open for more info)

I've been teaching myself after effects and bodymovin over the past few days, your video has come at such a great time! Thank you!!!
Thanks for this, I feel UI designers and web designers should really learn after effects even if we only use 10% of what it can do
Thank you so much Charli is a really nice video I use after effects and this actually inspired me so much!!
You are brilliant Charli!
Thanks for your time making this clear and friendly overview to share. Great to see all you did on screen. Am looking forward to trying out something similar in Adobe After Effects. BTW you seem pretty accomplished with the application despite your modest disclaimer at the beginning of the video. And loved the way you explained the design rationale. Have subscribed to your channel and look forward to learning more with you.
Very neat! Thanks for sharing I am also learning After Affects rn. Mostly do print and digital marketing work, but it's cool to do motion design for my personal brand as well as video intros for work, things like that.
Pretty helpful. Thanks!
Great job 👌😎 I'm also thinking about learning motion design using Adobe aftereffects
i love it!
Thank you for this.
My pleasure!
This is great Charli. I've seen the video before but didn't realise you made it. How long did it take you to do?
I've been playing with BodyMovin for a while in AE. What size did the video come out at?
This girl is fire 🔥
After effects is my white whale really. Thank you so much for sharing your process...it really helped.
Thanks for sharing. How long did this take to create?
This is great
thank you for this very interesting video, but it would have helped me a lot to see to the end with the recovery of the animation and the integration in a web site.
This is great! You could also create and animate a mask inside of AE rather than needing to copy it from AI... in fact, you could create the final rectangular mask first, and then using keyframes and transform turn it into the blob (note that you shouldn't add more points than the first shape to avoid shaping issues), and then just reverse the animation which would make the blob turn into the rectangle... you'd have more control over it this way, and you could even do a third animation and turn the mask into something else if needed... your solution is great, too!
would like to know how you did the animate to points
Phoot phoot phoot!
What file format did you export as in after effects
Have you used camera following the dot?
Your videos are joyful to watch! You seem like a good partner in crime (as a designer, of course!)...
any motion design online course you'd recommend?
which resoloution is for web design?
What format do you use when you hand it over to the developer?
once your'e done with animation, at what format do you export the file to be used on web page
I work with and make animations in after effect, but not for websites. How does the rendering and imorting onto website work? What did you do here that you couldn’t do with your usual program and coding? Thanks:)
Is there a way to export an animation out of after effects for the web and not have it loop?
will it be good for responsive stuff?
Hi Charli, What's the final size of the rendered video? Is there any fallback option for slow connections?
The final export is just 668kb, with a fallback of just a static image!
and what is the export format?
Yeah! Another Kiwi! ... and the topic I was looking for using the tools I have. Subscribed!
OMG! Just realized that you're Charlie from Design Life Podcast. I chatted with Femke earlier this year. Kia Ora!
Yep that’s me!! 🤗
How you integrated this in your website?
Your voice dude
Glad you enjoyed it!
Dude? lol
i mdhe 40 sec vid in after effftes i want to upload in website haome page plze help me in exporting
Can you share this template, please?
What file type did you save it as for web?
it's an mp4
How did u get the affiliate link?
By being an Adobe affiliate! :)
Is there another website you can use for free to use animation rather than after effects as I am struggling with money and can’t afford to pay for Adobe software although I am highly experienced with these softwares
I'm not sure sorry :(
It’s mainly known for 3D but it does 2D animation as well - Blender (blender.org)
My head hurts.
Hi Charli,
One question. How to export from AE to be inserted into a web page? I've exported stuff from Animate as HTML and used to insert it. But not sure on this one?
Thanks for the great content you provide.
It's inserted as an HTML video, with a static image fallback! :)
I think it would be better if you do the project from scratch. full screen
the thing is: how do you code it?
We embedded the mp4 on the site.
If you need some stylish and unforgettable animation I'll help you with that
Mam you are beautiful ☺️
