More After Effect’s Beta Upgrades & FREE Business Strategy Gold | Motion Mondays

After Effects Beta brings new features, a free course to help you grow your business, and some powerful new Blender tools.

New After Effects features drop in the latest beta, including workspace improvements and animated environment lighting. Plus, Joe Nash (ex-Buck strategist) releases a completely free course on growing your creative business - including his exact playbook for landing dream clients.

We also check out Adobe's Project Concept beta, a new AI-powered ideation tool, and Motion Array's latest challenge with a $1000 prize.

See some incredible work from Worthy's retro-style 3D animation (that looks 2D!), Lynn Fritz's signature style for MTV, and Studio Dumbar's crisp design work for OpenAI. Plus, new Blender plugins that bring MoGraph-style tools to the free 3D powerhouse, a deep dive into After Effects color management, and a specialized new tool for achieving that perfect dithered look.
