Ross is an excellent teacher and EVERY second of his tutorials are meaningful and helpful. I bought another AE course right before his, and 75% of the videos were just the teacher's screen recording at 2x speed and him doing vague narration over it - not good. Ross takes everything step by step and then repeats the basic stuff enough times so you actually learn the skills and can apply them yourselves. He goes slow enough to learn, but covers enough material to feel you're getting a comprehensive skill set when you're done. I find myself going back over each lesson several times because they are so valuable.

Ross is genuinely a great teacher. Order of operations is so important when you're doing simple to relatively complex animations, and his teaching style is both clear and paced in such a way that makes retaining the information so much easier. After each lesson you really come away a better animator, and feeling more confident in your ability to use AE like a tool - not just a mystery slot machine that it can feel like when you're new-ish. Great course - I recommend to anyone :)

This is a very good course!! Yes, of course these days theoretically you can find everything on YouTube. What makes this course different is that it provides the curated knowledge of an expert who is also a very effective teacher, which is another way of saying that it is going to save you a hell of a lot of time that you would otherwise waste trying to figure things on your own out on YouTube. Will it teach you everything there is to know? No, but it gets you started in most if not all of the areas that you need to become proficient at if you want to be good at VFX. It's definitely worth it!!!

I'll say I hesitated when first buying the course. Now I have completed this course and am happy to have gone through a smooth and fun learning experience.

1. The fact Ross takes his time to explain things have helped me grow on what I need to do to make better videos. For example, I got to know how to make glitches around a person's body.
2. I did get stuck and frustrated on some of the videos, but Ross was there to help me through those parts.
3. My favorite section of this entire course is the Travel Effects section. I was very excited in making different kinds of animations, such as the paper effect, the fire and outline etc.

This course, overall, was very fun and I hope I get to learn more about After Effects in the future. Can't recommend it enough. You won't be disappointed.

MotionFX Pro is an amazing course. I’ve searched all over YouTube for tutorials on specific effects and this course was the only course to show how it’s done.
Ross is an amazing teacher. Very calm and confident in what he says. He makes you feel like you can easily achieve all these effects. He makes you feel confident in the way he breaks down effects and shows that they aren’t as complicated as you would think. He lays down how to approach the effects and the thinking behind it.
I would recommend this to any creator that wants to learn After Effects and visual effects.
