Geometric Shapes Looping Grid | After Effects Tutorial

In this video I’m going to show you how to create a looping geometric shapes grid.
This is an exercise I often get students to do when they’re just starting out, as it’s good practise for learning some of the basics. It will help familiarise you with:
- Basic animation timing
- Animating paths
- Exploring repeaters and other shape layer modifiers
- Looping animations seamlessly
- Experimenting with layer modes
In the first part of the video I’ll show you how to create a couple of simple animated loops. This will be a step by step you can follow if you like.
In the second part I’ll talk about a few of the animations in the loop, and touch on some of the techniques you might want to try for yourself.
This is more about coming up with your own animation and design ideas and exploring for yourself what works and what doesn’t, but if you're interested in specific parts of this animation you can find them by skipping through the process video below.

[@skylerschuyleman2541]

Pardon if this has been answered already but, what are you using for your keyframes, is that 'flow' tab a plug in? if so which?

[@TheVideoShopLondon]

Yes, it's a script you can find on AE scripts. It's not essential though and for various reasons I can't recommend it. You're mostly fine just using the graph editor : )

1:36 - Aphex Twin's ambient albums have got me through so many tedious projects over the years.

[@TheVideoShopLondon]

Haha I only just noticed that. I'll be honest I haven't listened to that. I have 6music on all day

[@ron_wayne]

Great Video Adam, could you please share your system specifications?

[@TheVideoShopLondon]

I actually have no idea. Genuinely. I'm clueless with specs. I definitely need a new pc though I can tell you that. I'm on a pc if that helps?

А можно видео по более продвинутым анимациям?)
