Animating Fire in After Effects Quick & Easy!

This time I'll be revealing how to animate fire in a quick & easy way using After Effects. A 2D stylized fire in various styles to add impact to your motion graphics. Exploring traditional frame-by-frame animation in After Effects, shape path animation, the wiggle path effect, and CC Wide Time to create onion skins in After Effects.

love that while you're giving people an "easy way to make fire" you still do a great job of giving people the essential animation theory for what really sells a fire animation as fire. Great vid as always!

Wow I have never thought to use Wide Time as an onion skinning tool, that is a game changer!

This is so much better than everything else I found a day ago when I was desperately searching for way to quickly animate fire for a project :D I will use these tips next time for sure! Also the small note on the curves following the path of the flame in frame by frame really helped me wrap my head around how to approach animating this frame by frame <3
