Course Highlights
This course on Adobe After Effects CC provides a thorough exploration of the realm of expert animation and visual effects. Beginning with the fundamentals, students will investigate the After Effects workspace, discover how to begin new compositions, and add media to their projects. In order to guarantee a strong basis in content development, the course meticulously walks students through the use of fundamental tools, alignment creation, and shape colour mastery.
Animating techniques such as position, scale, and rotation are covered in advanced courses along with further advice on how to create animations that seem natural.
