It’s the end of 2021, and we have the most complete list of the top free motion design tutorials for the year, and what a fantastic year it has been! If you havent seen our previous years, be sure to check out our Top 20 Motion Design Tutorials of 2020, 2018, and 2017.

We have the most authoritative data for motion tutorials, and we have archived the best free tutorials from all across the world, to give you the most robust list of free motion tutorials of 2021. Our number one tutorial was from Mamaworld, who has also created the Squash and Stretch plugin. This plugin is powerful, and allows you to create animations in no time with a collection of ready to use behaviors, carefully handcrafted by professionals and controlled by an intelligent system – ensuring your animations come to life without starting from scratch each time. Our VFX and Element 3D category was the most popular categories this year, and a surge in popularity with tutorial artists like Bryan Delimata, Jalex Rosa, No Sleep Creative, Motion by Nick, and VFX Studio Koliba. Our most popular Cinema 4D Tutorial Artist this year was Nikolaus Schatz who amazed the motion design community by showing us how to add flowers to any 3D object. Congrats to all of the top tutorial artists this year, and be sure to subscribe to support them all!
