Hi there, the purpose of creating this course was to tell you that it is not always necessary to spend a lot of time and effort to create motion graphic scenes, but you can do it a lot faster and better by learning a few features of “shape”.

One of the most basic and important things you need in motion graphics is designing and working with design tools. Since designing in After Effects is done using shapes, and also because of the power of the After Effects shape tool in designing and motion graphics, I will not go for design in other software such as illustrator and Photoshop. And I will completely focus on how to work with the shape tool and create beautiful and different scenes by this powerful tool.

In the following, you will learn the best capabilities of the shape tool, namely modifiers, which help you through the designing process as well as creating beautiful motion graphics.

First you will get acquainted with the “merge path” modifier and how to combine the shapes together, and then you will get acquainted with its uses in motion graphics.

Next you will learn the function of the “pucker and bloat” modifier and how to create a star and an attractive motion graphics scene.

Then you will get acquainted with the “repeater” modifier, which is very useful in creating beautiful backgrounds, crowded and repetitive environments, as well as creating “Burst shapes”.

Then you will learn how to use “trim path” and creating animation of plant growth.

You will learn how to create objects like smoke or steam by combining several modifiers with round corners.

And we will go on until you learn all the modifiers and how they work, as well as how to use them in motion graphic videos.

finally apart from learning the shape tool and its modifiers well, you get the ability to create and animate many motion graphic scenes.
