City Lit Pro: Adobe After Effects intensive

You will learn in a relaxed environment with a small group of up to 8 people.

- Plan, prepare and organise your assets for an After Effects project
- Create projects and compositions and import assets
- Apply and animate a range of 2D and 3D transformations to video, image and text layers
- Apply and animate a range of effects to video, image and text layers
- Create and animate masks
- Create and animate a virtual camera
- Render, back up and archive your project.

It would be useful to bring a memory stick (or portable hard drive – please note PC formatted hard drives can be read by Apple Mac computers, but not written to.) CDs/DVDs are available.

You will be taught with workshops, short lectures, practical exercises, tutorials and handouts. Please note the City Lit uses Apple Mac computers in Digital arts, Graphics & Illustration and Photography.

During the course you will be encouraged to practice the techniques you’ve learned outside the course time. You will be invited to develop your own After Effects project and will be able to get feedback on your project from the tutor and other students. Learning will always be far more effective if students are able to have their own copy of the software on a computer at home.
