Getting Started with Motion Graphics: Shape Layers

More about this content:

Shape layers are the backbone of motion graphics. In this step you'll learn about five things you need to know about shape layers so that you can get started in creating some killer motion graphics. These include the basic components of a shape layer (path, stroke and fill), the two kinds of shape paths (parametric and bezier), navigating through different shape groups, adding new shapes to an existing layer, and scaling up a shape layer without affecting the scale of the stroke. With these techniques, you'll be able to create amazing motion graphics with shape layers.
