hey /gd! i used to lurk here all the time months ago but i kind of fell of the planet for a little while.
im pretty decent with Photoshop, but i know at some point i need to expand and learn other things, so yesterday i decided i would tackle After Effects. hopefully i can get some help from you wonderful people here.
i decided my first project would be a music streaming video for my band.
if you want, you can check out the song being used here:

attached i also included is a still/mockup of what i want it to look like.
as far as the live effects go, heres the perfect example. for the most part, everything im trying to do is showcased here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTxSGBvgCoQ
as you can see in the example, we have
>a moving background
>moving album art and text
>particle/artifact/noise effects
>audio equalizer
>slide in transitions at the beginning (only interested in the album art and text, i know a lot goes into the weird effect that was given to the record label logo on the bottom right)
that is everything i would like to achieve. in mine, however, I want to have the white background behind the text, the text itself, the art, and possibly the clouds/splashes moving as well.
>I have every layer separate for individual manipulation.
>those splashes are not actually cut off, just off screen. i can move the layer around and still have the full splash
>the splashes dont NEED to move, i know theres ways to throw in 3D cloud effects over everything instead
my questions are:
>where do i start?
I can open AE and then i go brain dead. a few years ago i made an intro for some lets play videos but i dont remember how i did them. the text had a fly in, there was lens flare, etc. this is however different obviously.
>any tutorial suggestions?
every time i search something like "how to make music stream videos After Effects" i get complicated tutorials on things im not interested in at the moment.
Thanks!
