Get comfortable with After Effects by creating standalone videos, animations, special effects, animated titles, and more. Make professional videos for web and TV broadcast in no time at all.
After Effects is a powerful tool from Adobe's suite of design software, used for animation and video post-production. Its sleek but robust user interface makes it possible to create professional videos and animations with a very small learning curve.
This After Effects training will take you from the basics of After Effects (such as understanding the workspace and basic animation techniques), all the way to advanced animation techniques, motion tracking, and particle effects.
