showing a plan over time
Hi, I’m completely new to After Effects. So new I don’t have it but am about to book myself on a course and get the software.
I want to get skilled up so that i can create very basic 2D animated videos which demonstrate a construction plan take place over time. Basically moving still images over a background.3 questions.
1. Is After effects the right tool for the task
2. Can anyone point me to example videos that are similar to what I am trying to achieve
3. Can anyone recommend some good trainers/courses in London for beginners. -

1. Yes, AE is perfectly suited to the task.
2. I think tutorials that reveal strokes and lines are what you need. The blueprint reveal is a logo reveal but might give you some ideas: Blueprint reveal
If you are starting, here are some good courses for beginners: Video Copilot Basic Training series

Lynda.com and ae.tutsplus.com are also great places to learn. Lynda is really good cause you can find your level and it’s very step by step. , aetutsplus has all kinds tuts, but they are generally more advanced and you need to have a good understanding fundamentals.
