The first few weeks were definitely hard and I thought of quitting many times but I'm glad I didn't because like I said before, once you get the basics down it just get easier and easier to understand the stuff. I personally learned from Youtube when I was starting out (about 4 years ago) and I went from knowing absolutely nothing about motion design or AE to I'd say intermediate in just about 7-8 months. If you can't there are alot of awesome channels on Youtube that teach the stuff and some sites like Skillshare have great courses on AE and it's relatively cheap, like 10$ a month and you get a free trial month so you can see if it's your thing or not. And there are tons and tons of tutorials/courses and resources for AE, Check School Of Motion if you can afford it. The learning curve in the beginning is kinda steep for sure but once you get the basics down you'll never have to look back. So, I'd highly recommend just sticking with After Effects. It's a must to learn if you're even slightly serious about animation and stuff. Plus AE has everything like Keyframes, Graphs, Nodes, Roto, 3D stuff and Expressions that you'll find in other "high-end" softwares like C4D, Blender or Nuke Now, AE can't possible replaces those softwares but it will serve as a ground for you to learn the techniques and tool that are similarly used across the motion design and animation softwares, so it will be a lot easier for you to step up when you get comfortable with motion stuff.Įven if you still start with some alternative to AE, one way or another you'll have to learn AE one day because the it's an industry standard software and there's only so much you can do without it. It just have an active, great and helpful community around it. There is no good enough alternatives to it, even if there are any, you won't resources like tutorials and project files for them like you can for AE.
