After Effects and Wacom Intuos Pro

Setting up a custom editing bay for motion graphics with your Wacom Intuos Pro and After Effects

July 9, 2019

Corey Barker of Master FX Training shows you how you can set up your Wacom Intuos Pro tablet as an editing station for doing motion graphics in After Effects.

 

Although After Effects doesn’t utilize pressure sensitivity, there is a lot of functionality built into the Wacom pen and the tablet itself that work great for fast and efficient editing of motion graphics. Setting up a few custom shortcuts on the pen and tablet can be terrific time savers, especially for repetitive tasks like making a new a composition, creating specific objects (like solids, cameras, lighting, or text), and the features precompose, and undo. Corey also customizes the touch ring to turn it into a functional and smooth scrub wheel.

When our inner critic arises, it’s difficult not hear it 😭

Sometimes our internal voice criticizes, judges and makes us doubt of our work telling us that we are not good enough. It happens to all of us!

But it’s all in our heads, trust the progress you’ve made so far and don’t give up!

Have you ever felt this way? 👇
