Learn how to make a shape layer accent burst in After Effects in 7 minutes! Not only that, but this is the ONLY burst you’ll ever need to create. I’m going to show you how to save it as an animation preset with controls on the layer for any change you could possibly want or need. This is the second installment in our shape layer library, so be sure to check out last week’s episode as well as next week’s. We’ll keep building this library over the coming weeks so you can learn how to build your own shape layer accents. Who knows? Maybe you can sell the ones you create!
