How to Create Animated Gradient in After Effects

The animated gradient effect in After Effects is a popular way to create dynamic and visually appealing backgrounds for videos or motion graphics. It involves creating a gradient layer and animating its colors, position, or opacity over time using keyframes. By adding different blending modes and effects to the layer, the result can be further customized to achieve a desired look and feel.

For anyone trying to add a motion tile and seeing a black line, the issue might be that your gradient layer is a PSD or AI file. You may need to recreate the gradient directly in After Effects.

If the code input doesn't show up for evolution, press and hold option on mac (or alt on windows) and the code input section should show up.

Thank you! This is awesome and you make it so easy!
I didn't need to go much past the first stage to get the result I was looking for, which was a slowly moving gradient background, but the rest is great to know for when I want a cool oily/liquid look.
Thanks again!
