The LAST graph editor tutorial you'll ever need. \\ After Effects Tutorial

The graph editor is the single most important tool you can use as an animator in After Effects, and it isn’t as difficult to understand and use as you think it is. Easy ease only takes you so far. I’m going to break down exactly how the speed and value graphs work in After Effects so you can stop being afraid to click that button and start taking control of how your layers actually move. The video begins with an introduction at 00:00, then covers the basics of timing and spacing at 02:41. Next, it explains how custom easing makes a difference at 04:47, followed by a deep dive into the value graph at 07:11. At 10:37 the speaker introduces the speed graph, and continues to discuss benefits of the value graph at 13:42, benefits of the speed graph at 15:31, and limitations of the value graph at 17:25. They show how to combine both graphs to improve keyframes at 18:40, and wrap up with final thoughts at 23:44.
