SaaS Presentation Animation: From UI Design to Motion in After Effects-2026

SaaS explainer videos are everywhere, but many designers struggle when starting from a blank timeline in After Effects. Over the years, I’ve worked on real SaaS presentation and explainer projects where clarity, structure, and intentional motion were more important than flashy effects. In this course, I guide you step by step through a proven workflow used in real client projects. You’ll learn how to turn a script into a visual storyboard, prepare UI designs from Figma, organize complex scenes, and animate clean, modern SaaS presentations in After Effects. Instead of guessing what to animate next, you’ll learn how to think about motion design decisions that clearly communicate product value.
