This is the self-paced course. For live instruction, enroll in After Effects Bootcamp.
This self-paced course introduces the core of Adobe After Effects so you can start producing animated motion graphics. You animate transform properties such as position, scale, rotation, and opacity, then build text and shape animations and apply classic animation principles to make movement feel lively.
You also work with blending modes, masks, and track mattes, learn essential video concepts, and apply and animate effects. Along the way you import and animate Photoshop, Illustrator, and audio files, and finish by exporting high-quality video.
From our hands-on training style to world-class instructors and custom-crafted curriculum, we deliver results our alumni are proud of.
