 In this PPT, To help you to avoid after effects mistakes
here are 6 most common after effects mistakes out
there and how to avoid them.

7.  Motion blur allows you to make animations appear
natural.
 Plus, motion blur is a great way to improve your
animated graphics.

8.  When compositing, feathering your mask is essential.
 You need your images to blend combine and appear as
one.
 Forgetting to feather your mask will not allow a
convincing composite.

9.  When you create shapes for motion graphics and you
use a solid layer with a mask, you are entirely missing
out on shape layers.
 Shape layers allow you to organize shapes easily and
they open up many techniques of animating shapes.

10.  Color correction has its own rules and creative
techniques. It is vital that you should understand
video scopes if you need to color.
 Without video scopes, you are practically judging the
images based off of your display.
 What looks good on your screen may not look good on
someone else's screen.

11.  The stroke effect is excellent at creating outlines if you
have the mask.
 If you have the vector object or text layer, you can
convert them into shape layers and apply "trim paths".
Trim paths allow you to clean animate strokes.

12.  While this isn't a bad idea to do when it makes sense,
if you are not using the animate menu with text layers,
you are missing out on control.
 Animated menu enables you to use advanced
parameters to animate the characters, titles and much
more.
