Today, we’ll be going for about 15 minutes, but the extra time is well worth it. As always, no BS. Just AE. We’re gonna have some fun with my favorite After Effects feature - shape layers. We’ll create some infinite loop animations using a variety of shapes. I’ll show you how to easily change the look of these infinite loops using some very useful tricks, which can be utilized in a number of other kinds of animations.
