Growing plant animation and creation | After Effects Tutorial

In this After Effects Tutorial, I’ll show you how to grow a plant
using only standard effects!

We'll begin this growing plant animation by creating and animating a stem.
The stem will be growing through mask expansion. As the bottom of the stem is wider than the top, this easy method works perfectly.

Then we’ll draw the leafs with the pen tool and add them to the main comp.
We'll animate the scale of the leafs, add a little bounce effect and position them in the timeline, so that they grow together with the stem.

We’ll finish this kind of floral animation up by adding some more “CC Bender” and the “Posterize Time” Effect.

I am very curious how this tutorial inspires your work.
