How To Make Motion Graphics With AI (After Effects Full Tutorial)

Join the GenHQ Marketplace: https://www.genhq.io Download the PDF instruction sheets: https://go.genhq.io/genhq-gpt6 Motion graphics have always been the slow part of After Effects. You know the look you want, but building every shape, every transition and every bit of animation by hand takes hours, and most of that time is spent fighting the software rather than being creative. In this video, I'm going to show you how I'm using GPT Astra 6 alongside After Effects to make motion graphics in a fraction of the time. You'll see how I get the AI to do the heavy lifting on the design and the movement, then bring everything into After Effects to tidy it up, add the polish and turn it into a finished piece. Every prompt is on screen so you can follow along. A lot of people try this and end up with something that looks like AI made it. The animation is floaty, the shapes don't quite line up, and it falls apart the moment you try to edit it. That usually comes down to how you're prompting and what you're asking After Effects to do afterwards, and I'll walk you through both so you can avoid the same mistakes. By the end of this video, you'll have a repeatable process for going from an idea to a finished motion graphic using GPT Astra 6 and After Effects, and you'll have the PDF instruction sheets to refer back to whenever you need them. If you have any questions about anything in the video or you get stuck, drop a comment below and I'll do my best to help. Thanks for watching, and let me know what tutorial you want to see next.

The third AI workshop taught by our legendary teacher, Nick Sarafa. In one of the last events we did an asset manager raised an additional £25M on their fund within a space of 9 months. This is a full-day hands-on training workshop for purposeful co-creation with AI using Claude Code. Imagine having access to hundreds of billions of dollars of computing power and knowing exactly how to make it work for you through the power of super intelligence. One person did.
