Animation Starts with Illustration

You can create GIF animations in Adobe After Effects? In this article from Adobe Create, Chris Phililps obviously had fun creating this animation GIF.

His advertising and design background shaped his “explainer” type of animated GIFs. Chris shares advise on how others can hone their future animation skills, which is on our own radar screen.

Yes. Although, it's better to make a video out of AE and then bring that video into Photoshop to turn it into a GIF.
