🎬 Here are 10 Useful After Effects Tips!

1️⃣ Hold Shift while dragging keyframes in Graph Editor — for perfectly smooth easing.

2️⃣ Double-tap U on a layer to reveal all modified properties.

3️⃣ Press Caps Lock before previewing to stop background renders & reduce lag.

4️⃣ Text pop-up trick: Animator > Scale → 0 → Ease High 100% = smooth animation!

5️⃣ Hold Ctrl (Cmd) while moving Anchor Point (Y tool) to snap it perfectly to edges/center.

6️⃣ Set Resolution = Half & Skip = 1 for faster previews.

7️⃣ Use loopOut("cycle") for infinite looping animations.

8️⃣ Rotation expression: time * 50 = infinite spinner!

9️⃣ Press I and O to jump to In/Out points instantly.

🔟 Use Trim Paths > Offset for looping circular reveals (instead of Start/End).

Hey everyone 👋

I’ve been thinking of creating a new After Effects course — but this time, not a beginner one.

It would go deep into the things that most tutorials (including mine 😅) usually skip over — like:

• How Text Animators actually work (what every single control really does)
• How to build clean, pro-level composites using stills and video
• When and why to use Pre-Comps — and when you actually shouldn’t
• The proper Photoshop/Illustrator to AE workflow for flexibility and speed

Basically, the “missing logic” behind After Effects — so you can design and animate like a pro, not just follow steps.

I’m curious — would you be interested in a course like this if I make it?
