After Effects - Motion Graphics & Data Visualization
Hi there, my name is Dan. I’m a Adobe Certified Instructor and I LOVE animating infographics & bringing potentially boring data to life using After Effects through Data Visualization.
This course is for beginners. You don’t need any previous knowledge in VFX Compositing or any motion graphics experience. We’ll start with the super basics, taking simple icons breathing life into to them with After Effects.
We’ll work through a real life projects, connecting Excel into After Effects to transform your boring spreadsheet data into approachable visual information. We’ll experiment with lighting & cameras. We’ll do some fun things with masking, looking at how important sound is in your presentation, all the way through to exporting for Youtube, Powerpoint and all sorts of social media including animated GIFS.
There are projects for you to complete, so you can practice your VFX visual effects skills and use these for your portfolio. There is a cheat sheet and I’ve got exercise files so you can play along. I will also save my files as I go through each video so that you can compare yours to mine - handy if something goes wrong.
Know that I will be around to help - if you get lost you can drop a post on the video 'Questions and Answers' below each video and I'll be sure to get back to you.
What are you waiting for? Lets get making.

Learned a lot from this one :) Lots of tips & tricks for motion graphics and AE in general will be very helpful in the long run !!
Thanks Dan for the course, I've learned some really useful skills in motion graphics.
Hopefully you'll come out with more course that's related to motion graphics or probably how to integrate both AE and XD, as you know, some of the animations just couldn't do it with XD alone...
The content is great and the presenter is engaging, however I find at times he goes a bit quick and i have o pause and rewind the video It is super cool Animation The best course for Motion graphics ??

adobe after effects
I took different courses before this one on Adobe After Effects NONE as much useful as this!
However, I feel like I've only learned some of the basics in Adobe After Effects..
I haven't used Adobe After Effects in a year or two now, so it's good to pick up where I left off.
The course starts with Adobe After Effects and Adobe Illustrator - important to know, and moves into some Photoshop and Excel and PowerPoint and animated gifs.
Really good course for those interested in data visualization as well as an overview of adobe after effects.
This one is no different and I'm already much more comfortable in Adobe After Effects.
I'm just tacking Adobe After Effects for the first time, and I'm learning a whole lot about how the program works, as well as a few cool animation techniques.

Daniel takes things step by step in order to help you understand why you're doing what you're doing, with plenty of insightful tips, tricks, and humor along the way.
Thank you soooo much Excellent, the teacher is methodical, takes you step by step, professional but friendly attitude makes it fun to learn.
the pace is very fast, the instructor is not explaining the basics concepts and the tools of Adobe After Effects step by step , this course is not recommended for beginners.
Very clean and easy to understand step by step processes.

data visualization
I recommend this course for all beginners who want to learn about data visualization in After Effects and Illustrator.
Now I understand better how the things work :) Pretty good for people without experience, that just want to do some tricks with data visualization without taking to much time out of their schedules.
I like that it's oriented to a very applicable goal (data visualization), as it prevents you from drifting off in a sea of tips and tricks and general software operation classes, but it does indeed round out a lot of corners and help you improve; before you even get to the data part, there's a wealth of knowledge and exercises that allow you to understand the different functions and elements of After Effects.
He shows you some of the general things you need to know before you start doing data visualization.
I came in knowing about after effect but this course help me learn more when it comes to the Data Visualization and I enjoy Daniel as an instructor made me feel like i was actually in a classroom .
Awesome experience here, Daniel is a great instructor and he will teach you in a very entertain way the basics of Data Visualization.
