About This Class
This class is for beginners in Motion Graphics who want to learn the first steps in creating their own projects in After Effects.
Have you ever wondered how they create those amazing TV or Movie introductions? Or even some of your favorite commercials. They likely used Adobe After Effects to help create them.
We will cover the very basics of Adobe After Effects. We will run through a project that I have created especially for this class. Topics will include:
Introduction (5 min) Navigating around AE. (10 min) How Layers Work in AE. (5 min) What are keyframes and how to use them to animate. (10 min) How to use a camera. (10 min) How to parent objects and why it’s useful. (5 min) What a Composition is and how a Pre-Compositions can be utilized. (5 min) Rendering (10 min) Questions?
This course will provide you with a foundation to build upon and help you explore the program and all it's capabilities. You will walk away with a firm grasp on how to dive into your first project and even start your own portfolio.
