10 Cool Animations You Can Make in After Effects in 40 Min | Full Motion Graphics Tutorial
This After Effects tutorial teaches 10 motion graphics animations in 40 minutes no cuts, everything explained. Most editing tutorials just want you to copy what's on screen.
This one's the opposite: I show you why I use every effect, not just which button to press.
Think of it like a recipe. Once you understand the ingredients, you stop copying dishes and start cooking your own and that's the difference between someone who "knows After Effects" and someone editors actually want to hire.
Everything here is stuff I genuinely use — Matrix scanners, pulse animations, text reveals, particle work. No filler to pad the runtime. And watch closely: every effect quietly connects to the next. That's on purpose.

Watch it full. Pay attention to where each effect goes and why — that's the part that makes you better, not the effect itself.
Coming up next: the full animation process start to finish, and a real editor roadmap for 2026 — not a motivational speech with fake hope, an actual map.
