Here's everything I know about Post-Production for 2D Animation in a single video. By far the longest I've worked on a video for the channel.

Don't worry, its beginner friendly!

I really hope you enjoy and I can't wait to see how you will use what you learn here for your own 2D animations!

Animation Post Production Like a PRO (After Effects Beginner Tutorial)

In this video I will teach you how to create Post-Production for your 2D Animations like a professional. We’ll use Adobe After Effects and explore the process of color correction, color grading, compositing and animating. You can apply this to both an Anime or a Western animation look.
