This Authorised Adobe After Effects training course will show you how to make best use of this powerful software.
Adobe After Effects is recognised as the essential tool for motion graphics and visual effects. It offers a fast, flexible, affordable 2D and 3D compositing and animation toolset to help you develop your creative ideas with speed and control, and deliver high-quality results for film, video, multimedia, or the Web.
It allows you to create the type of sophisticated video effects previously only available to television graphic designers and film special FX producers.
The increasing use of sophisticated titles and effects in television, video and film has made After Effects a deservedly popular program among designer, editors and post-production houses. This course enables you to understand and use After Effects to import and manipulate both video footage and Photoshop or Illustrator files. The course covers layers, motion paths, animations, 3D compositions, audio and masks.
The course is instructor-led with the emphasis on practical exercises. These exercises will cover incorporating video with Photoshop and Illustrator graphics, video layering techniques, working with key frames, using filters for special effects and rendering your final project. You will also look at different rendering techniques and ways to optimise the finished production.
