10 After Effects Skills You Must Know For 2026

Video Overview & Insights

7,500+ After Effects Presets: https://bit.ly/AnimationPresetPack - Here are 10 After Effects skills and techniques to produce amazing motion graphics in 2026!

2:29 linear wipe doesn't work for me because it's a 3D layer. How did it work for you then I don't understand? I tried simple 3D and advanced 3D, it didn't work for me, AE limits the effects on the 3D layer.

Please, if you upload a video, kindly slow it down a little while teaching, because it’s very difficult to catch everything so quickly. Also, please teach in an easier way, as we are beginners and it is hard for us to learn.

Thank You

Is 2026 a good time to learn After Effects?
I currently have only one to two weeks of experience, but I'd like to use it in the future for freelance work and personal creative projects.
Is it a good choice? If someone is interested in animation, what suggestions would you have?
thx!!!

Was expecting something about latest techniques - nothing about that. Everything was creatively OK until circular images - use expressions for that to have dynamic control over the matter. And the second to last blew my mind! It's the worst possible way to make that animation happen by manually creating all the text layers and the fills - single layer + text animation on Y position and fill with some wiggling around = no mess.

Great video, thanks!
Can add one quick tip to skill 9 with carousel of words
You can make the word in row colored by using adjustment layer with fill effect and mask it inside the rulers. So if u will need to change the "jump" duration u will do it only on the null obj (:
