    This simple animation tutorial will show you how to bring your design from Adobe Illustrator to Adobe after effects. Once the design is in after effects we begin the basic animation process. We start with the scale option in after effects. Then we learn how to use the position function to animate our designs in different places. Finally we use rotation to make our design elements spin to complete out simple animation tutorial. I hope you enjoy following along with the process and if you make a simple animation of your own be sure to post it on Instagram and tag me so I can see your hard work!

      I have a question plz answer me..i have made animation in 3d max of 1 sec(24 frames) now i want to add this animation in 2d background in aftereffects ..is it possible??if yes then how it works?plzz reply...i am making a game trailor

      That's because this is a simple animation. If not, it could take days.

      Kareema Iqbal if you render it in multiple png files per frame, once you import it in AE it will play as a video format but with a transparent background(if thats what you were aiming for). Anyways, I hope that works, I’m more of a Maya user.

    It all started with this tutorial. Now I got my first job because of my skills in after effects next to my skills as a graphic designer/illustrator. Thank you so much for making these videos, they can mean the world to some people ❤️

  • @Someone38482

    Zimri you have no idea what an impact you've made on me as a designer. First off thank you for this tutorial!
    I started watching your videos back in the beginning of quarantine and fell in love with YGR and your personality. I loved the polls in the videos and how we got to vote. You made logo designing seem easy and simple. Then, in June I got Illustrator and Photoshop as a bundle package. You made Illustrator seem so easy I decided to learn it first- best idea ever.
    I had no interest in graphic design before I started watching your videos. The YGR videos taught me how to think like a designer and now I look at logos and automatically see ways to make it better. You taught me more than any class has and you make it fun. I love your humor and that's one of the reasons I watch your videos first. If I didn't click on the first YGR video that showed up in my recommended I would definitely not be in the place I am today with a new passion.
    I just wanted to tell you thank you so much for all you have done.

    A well done little video. Shows so many aspects of After Effects in a simple, easy to follow way. I like the guy's little ad libs to himself too, it's chatty, keeps you interested when dealing with a slightly dull technical break down. Always the way with animation - it can create some great work, but boy is doing it - or explaining it a slow process. Top marks!

    @Hell321100 6 років тому

    I have lots of stuff to say. first of all- this is an extremely useful tutorial, that contains most of the basic needs for animating. it has been explained well.
    But, unfortunately, I had no quicktime program, so it took me a patient friend and half an hour to figure out what do I need to do. It would be great, if, in videos like these, you could tell people how to save the video properly. Because that is an important part. I would have said it is a perfect tut, except this thing. since it is for the complete beginners( tell me if I had misunderstud) the video without for example link on the program i find incomplete.
    thanks for your work, Zimri.
    You made me better with that video
