Create automatic After Effects proximity animations fast, without feeling overwhelmed by expressions or complex rigs.

What you’ll learn
– PROXIMITY MAGIC SYSTEM – Build a 2D grid that auto-responds for slick loops and pattern animations (Lectures 2-4)
– 2D CONTROL FAST – Drive position with a null so every layer follows with believable falloff (Lectures 3)
– CUSTOM REACTIONS EASY – Offset and individualize each layer so nothing feels copy-paste (Lectures 4)
– SMOOTH TIMING BUILT IN – Add time-based motion so reactions feel alive, not robotic (Lectures 5)
– DIRECTIONAL STYLE BOOST – Create angle-based effects for dynamic 2D motion (Lectures 6)
– TRUE 3D REACTIONS – Build automatic 3D proximity behavior for depth, parallax, and cinematic moves (Lectures 7)
– REUSABLE EVERY TIME – Save your 3D proximity setup as presets you can drop into any project (Lectures 8)
– PORTFOLIO-READY LOOK – Finish with a repeatable system you can use in client work and personal pieces (Lectures 2-8)

Requirements
– Have Adobe After Effects installed

Description
Create elegant, high-end motion graphics in Adobe After Effects without babysitting a hundred keyframes. In this course, you’ll build automatic proximity reactions in After Effects that feel alive and intentional.
You’ll learn how to make many layers react to a single controller, using expressions that are ready to use. You can keep them as-is, or tweak them for your own style. The result is cleaner animation, faster workflows, and visuals that look way more advanced.

What you’ll be able to do

With over 10 years of experience editing videos forYouTube, Instagram, and TikTok, I know what it takes to create content that performs. I’ve managed two of the biggest YouTube channels in their niches, and the videos I’ve edited have generatedmillions of views across platforms.

The workflow taught in this class isn’t theory-it’s the same system I use every day inAdobe After Effectsto create high-performing content for clients and creators. You’ll be guided through the same tools and structure I use to edit with confidence-whether you’re building your own channel or creating for others.
