2D Motion Graphics Automation with AI and After Effects

Traditional 2D motion design often involves hours of repetitive asset creation and tedious keyframing. By integrating modern AI tools into your After Effects workflow, you can automate these repetitive tasks and focus entirely on creative storytelling. This text-based course guides you through the process of combining generative AI with After Effects. You will learn to conceptualize projects, generate and prepare design assets, and write automated expressions using AI assistance, transforming your production speed and creative output. What you'll learn: Understand the foundational principles of 2D motion graphics and AI-assisted design pipelines; Generate high-quality visual assets using AI prompting techniques tailored for motion design; Prepare and optimize AI-generated images for clean vectorization and layering in After Effects; Apply AI-assisted scripting and expressions to automate complex animation behaviors; Create seamless transitions and kinetic typography using automated workflow techniques; Establish a structured, step-by-step production pipeline that minimizes manual editing. The course begins with core definitions and structural setups before moving into asset generation, preparation, and practical scripting. You will read through detailed walkthroughs, conceptual explanations, and code snippets designed to streamline your animation pipeline. This course is designed for beginners in motion design and traditional animators who want to leverage modern AI tools, with no prior coding or advanced scripting experience required.
