This tutorial shows how to animate lifelike horses in Adobe After Effects, using the 'Horses' template. Learn more at . Find more animals at !
The Horses template for After Effects allows you to quickly and easily create custom horse animations. Included are five 2D horse puppets of various coat colors. With the easy-to-use controls, you can “program” your horses to do almost anything (keeping a profile-view). Assign any combination of the ten “primary actions”, such as graze, gallop, or jump, and smoothly transition from action to action. Use the “secondary action” controls to animate the head, hoof positions, mouth, tail, ears, eyes, breathing and more. You can animate one horse, or create an entire herd, and insert it into your motion graphics or 3D scenes.
This template is compatible with CC 2019 and up. No plugins required. Music and 3D scenes from video are not included. Unicorn not included, but the horn is (attachable through motion-tracking of horse). Bridle and reins (but not saddle) are included.
