I'm a freelance video editor expanding into motion graphics for explainer videos and social media content, and I'm hitting a wall with my After Effects workflow. My animations feel clunky and lack the smooth, professional polish I see in other work. For other motion designers, what are your essential tips for creating fluid movement and efficient workflows? I'm particularly struggling with easing keyframes, using the graph editor effectively, and organizing complex projects with precomps. Are there specific plugins or script tools you consider indispensable for speeding up repetitive tasks like text animation or logo reveals?
