In this After Effects tutorial, you’ll learn how to create an eye-catching highlight animation completely from scratch.

We’ll go step by step through the process, covering:
✅ Setting up shape holders and UI designs
✅ Creating smooth scale, rotation, and 3D animations
✅ Adding a twist effect using Time Displacement
✅ Building a stylish gradient background
✅ Enhancing the animation with strokes, glow, grain, and posterize time
✅ Applying cinematic touches like camera lens blur, transform movement, and lens flare

By the end of this tutorial, you’ll not only have a stunning highlight animation but also a flexible template where you can replace images or shapes with your own designs — perfect for motion graphics and UI animations.
