How to Make Motion Cover Art for Spotify Canvas in After Effects
In this video, I break down my full workflow for creating animated motion cover art for ICEMAN using After Effects. We take a static album cover and transform it into a cinematic Spotify Canvas and Apple Music motion visual.
I’ll walk through the animation process, layering techniques, movement, texture, transitions, and how I approach motion design for music artists and streaming platforms.
If you create visuals for artists, album rollouts, or motion graphics content, this workflow can help you level up your cover art animations.
