Best Free Training for Motion Design

I just wrote a blog post called “Best Online Courses for Motion Graphics, VFX and Design: The Ultimate List.”

I wanted to follow that up with a post sharing great free options for learning motion design! If you don’t have the money for paid courses, these YouTube channels can be another great option in your educational journey.

I asked the community what their favorite YouTube channels were and I compiled them into a big list here. Hopefully it’s helpful. If you have anything to add, just shoot me an e-mail and let me know!
