About the video

Once I have spent time planning and designing my video presentation, I will then start to bring it all to life in After Effects.
In my experience, I have created lots of small projects in After Effects and it’s always helped me to be organised. When working with a project in After Effects, it’s as important to be organised out of After Effects as it is in After Effects. A typical After Effects project will include a wide variety of media so it helps to be organised with the media before you bring it into After Effects. To solve this I always start with a project folder. This is where I organise and keep all my media elements before I place them into After Effects. This way I know exactly where everything is so it’s not scattered about on my computer.
