    Amazing class taught by Mr.Mark Chandler. The 3 jam-packed days were just a steller foundation on what's possible with creating in After Effects and Premiere. The class was a mixture of informational lessons and real-world perspectives. I feel more confident tackling more AE projects now.
  • Adobe After Effects Level III (Online)

    Nickolas R. • July 20, 2020
    Chad was a great professor and really dove in depth on the topics we covered. And the curriculum wasn’t super rigid either, we did lots of exploring and playing around which was helpful. It’s always great to see someone else’s process. It definitely helped that I was the only student too, got to pick his brain more than I might have in a larger class. I appreciate him still doing the class for one student!

    Learned so much! I was afraid of working in after effects because at first glance, its a very complicated/intimidating program. But, Laura was very clear, super helpful, and explained everything well!

  • After Effects in a Day

    Anonymous • August 3, 2019
    Very good for learning with no experience or for filling in the gaps from self teaching AfterEffects. Wish there were a little more complex concepts taught other than just moving shapes around on 2D space but you can only teach so much in a day. Got a little too quick towards the end when exporting projects and learning different compressions so it felt arbitrary to even explain. But overall good class and great teacher, perfect pace for learning from scratch and if you need to learn specifically how to make gifs and logos
  • Premiere Pro in a Day

    Paige L. • October 21, 2018
    Kalika's class was very informative and took a easy approach to learning to what seems like an intimidating interface which reduced my fear of learning this new software. With some practice I feel like a pro and I loved her humor.

Discover the Best Live Online Motion Graphics Classes

Motion graphics is a type of animation where static design elements are given movement. This animation is often combined with music or other audio elements. Researchers have found that motion graphics are a very effective way of capturing the attention of an audience, and as a result, motion graphics have become very common in a wide variety of different media. Most motion graphics are focused on communicating a specific message to the audience, rather than telling a story like other types of animation.

Most motion graphics designers use computer tools such as Adobe After Effects and other software programs. Technology in this field has changed–and continues to change–rapidly. Technological advances allow designers to work more efficiently, and provide them with new tools that they can use to create new types of designs.

Industries That Use Motion Graphics

Motion graphics are widely used within the film and television industry, particularly for content that has a lot of special effects. Adobe explains that this is one of the first places that motion graphics became popular. It says, “The origins of motion graphics are rooted in the evolution of film credits. In the early days of cinema, directors created title credits to meet the interest of this new generation of cinemagoers, who wanted to learn more about the actors in the films they saw.” Films and television shows remain one of the most common places to find motion graphics. Today, these graphics are much more sophisticated than in early films, due to technological advances.

Motion graphics are also used in many other industries. For instance, social media sites and other websites use them as a tool for quickly and effectively communicating content. A number of research studies have also shown that motion graphics are a very effective way to both attract and retain online audiences. Motion graphics are also used for educational purposes. For instance, news media use them to help viewers quickly and easily understand complex information. They are also common in advertising, since they can make content more interactive and eye-catching.

Motion Graphics Jobs & Salaries

Motion graphics designers hold a wide variety of different job titles including video editor, motion graphics designer, 2D animator, designer, special effects artist, and film editor. According to Glassdoor, which provides average salaries for many different jobs, motion graphics designers earn an average of about $70,000 per year nationally. For instance, Denver pays about as much as average. Some areas pay significantly higher though. For example, the average yearly salary in Los Angeles is almost $80,000. In New York City, it is also close to $80,000 per year. Glassdoor also provides salary estimates for other jobs that can involve motion graphics. For example, it reports that the average salary for a 2D animator nationally is about $60,000. For a visual effects artist, it is just over $70,000, and for a film editor, it is a little more than $50,000 per year.


The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, a federal agency that collects and analyzes labor market statistics, includes many of these jobs under the category of special effects artists and animators. It finds that this job category is likely to remain stable over the next ten years, with a growth rate of about 5 percent, which is about as fast as average. It finds that California employs the most special effects artists and animators, followed by Washington, and New York. California also pays the highest annual average wage, followed by New Jersey and then New York.
