Diverging Paths - Adobe After Effects tutorial

Whoosh! Zoom! Create abstract paths and shapes moving through space in this Adobe After Effects tutorial. We'll examine a simple way to make complex looking motions using a combination of After Effects and Illustrator. This technique is great for all kinds of transitional and moving scenes. Then we add in layers and levels of depth and context so we can really FEEL the movement.

If you have any questions just let me know in the comments.

You sir, are a bloody legend! These are some of the absolute best tutorials I've ever come across, THANK YOU SO MUCH for making them! Not only are they really well constructed and easy to follow along, you're also an absolute delight to learn from. In all my years of learning to create with Adobe I've never found anyone else who makes me smile this much while learning what I can do with all the mystical treats these programs have on offer. Thank you for doing a bloody excellent job at being you and for taking the time to share your fabulous brain box x

Evan, you must have been INSIDE MY HEAD because it was just yesterday I was considering how I would accomplish this very thing... the answer is so simple - a single very long or very tall comp. Thanks for saving me many headaches!
