Motion Blur

• Motion blur allows you to make animations appear
  natural.
• Plus, motion blur is a great way to improve your
  animated graphics.

Forgetting to Feather Your Mask

• When compositing, feathering your mask is
  essential.
• You need your images to blend combine and appear
  as one.
• Forgetting to feather your mask will not allow a
  convincing composite.

9
Using Solid Layer For Shapes

• When you create shapes for motion graphics and
  you use a solid layer with a mask, you are
  entirely missing out on shape layers.
• Shape layers allow you to organize shapes easily
  and they open up many techniques of animating
  shapes.

10
Color Correction

• Color correction has its own rules and creative
  techniques. It is vital that you should
  understand video scopes if you need to color.
• Without video scopes, you are practically judging
  the images based off of your display.
• What looks good on your screen may not look good
  on someone else's screen.

11
Stroke Effect

• The stroke effect is excellent at creating
  outlines if you have the mask.
• If you have the vector object or text layer, you
  can convert them into shape layers and apply
  "trim paths". Trim paths allow you to clean
  animate strokes.

12
Transform Menu to Animate Text

• While this isn't a bad idea to do when it makes
  sense, if you are not using the animate menu with
  text layers, you are missing out on control.
• Animated menu enables you to use advanced
  parameters to animate the characters, titles and
  much more.
