Program Overview: What is Motion Graphics and Animation (After Effects)?
Motion Graphics & Animation (After Effects) is Edstellar's instructor-led creative program for designers, video teams, and content creators producing professional motion graphics. Participants work through After Effects essentials, keyframe animation and easing, shape layers and kinetic typography, and compositing and render workflows. The focus stays on craft: animation with timing, rhythm, and polish that looks intentional.
Training is hands-on from the first module. Participants build animated compositions in guided labs, then develop timing and easing instincts through structured exercises against realistic briefs. Instructors coach your team through masks, effects, compositing, and the preset and render workflows that make delivery reliable, reviewing every exercise with direct feedback. The program closes with a capstone: a brand motion graphics package.
Creative teams often animate by trial and error: keyframes everywhere, easing left default, and renders that fight them at deadline. This program teaches the disciplined technique behind animation that feels designed, from typography in motion to clean compositing. Every technique is practiced in labs, so the learning transfers directly to your productions.
The capstone is a brand motion graphics package your team produces end to end: animated brand elements with consistent timing and style, packaged with presets and render settings the whole team can reuse. Your designers return animating with intent instead of adjusting until it looks right.
Six modules and 24 hours: After Effects setup and design foundations, keyframe animation and easing, shape layers and kinetic typography, effects and visual polish, compositing and render pipelines. Every module pairs concepts with a guided lab, so each technique is practiced. It closes with a capstone motion package the team plans, animates, refines, and presents.
Delivery is hybrid across virtual and onsite sessions, scheduled around your calendar. Cohorts train as one group or split into batches, with session materials and lab project files included for every participant.

Build Cohesive Brand Motion Through Animation, Compositing, and Delivery Practice
Edstellar develops After Effects skills through a connected brand-motion project. Participants organize compositions, refine keyframes, and animate typography before applying effects and compositing scenes. Iteration culminates in a motion package reviewed against the creative brief, with attention to timing, visual consistency, and technically appropriate broadcast and social deliverables.
- Step 01
Consult
We assess design-software familiarity and motion-content responsibilities to identify priorities in composition setup, keyframe timing, typography, compositing, and delivery-format preparation.
- Step 02
Plan
We establish project organization before animation and easing, then develop shape and type sequences, visual effects, and compositing ahead of the brand motion package.
- Step 03
Align
We align motion design and After Effects expertise with designers, marketers, and video producers, adapting foundational support to their animation experience and brand-content responsibilities.
- Step 04
Customize
Provided brand assets, headlines, and delivery briefs reflect familiar visual styles, allowing tailored timing and composition exercises while preserving consistent export requirements.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants animate shapes and type, refine easing, create reusable effects, and composite scenes, receiving feedback on visual hierarchy, transitions, pacing, and render choices.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the motion package against the creative brief for coherent timing, readable typography, consistent visual treatment, and rendered outputs suited to the specified channels.
