Adobe After Effects
Photography & Video
About This Course
Adobe After Effects is an advanced software program specialized in creating animations, motion graphics, and visual effects. It is the preferred tool for professionals in the video production, film, and advertising industries. The software provides a comprehensive workspace that allows users to animate elements, design complex visual effects, and add cinematic touches to their projects.
- A home-use device for completing assignments
- Basic computer skills
Key Uses :
- Animation: Used to create animated graphics for elements such as text, logos, and more.
- Visual Effects (VFX): Includes powerful tools for compositing live-action footage with digital elements (such as removing backgrounds and applying effects).
- Layer Control: Enables users to edit video clips and images individually and modify their motion and appearance.
- Integration with Other Adobe Software: Seamlessly integrates with Photoshop, Illustrator, and Premiere Pro, facilitating project transfer and collaboration between programs.
Beginner Level:
- Introduction to Adobe After Effects:Definition and primary uses in motion graphics and visual effects.
Comparison with other software in the same field.
Setting up a new project (Project Settings).
Understanding the user interface: Timeline, Composition, Layers, Effects panels.
Customizing the workspace. - Working with Layers:Adding and editing layers.
Working with text, images, videos, and shapes.
Controlling layer properties (position, scale, rotation, opacity). - Animation with Keyframes:Adding and animating objects using keyframes.
Controlling speed and easing (ease in/out).
Using the Graph Editor for advanced animation control. - Effects:Applying basic effects (blur, glow, color correction).
Modifying effect properties and interactions.
Time remapping: speeding up, slowing down, and creating slow-motion effects.
Intermediate Level:
- 3D Layers:Enabling and working with 3D layers.
Adding cameras and lights for 3D work.
Creating dynamic camera movements. - Masks:Creating and editing masks to isolate parts of layers.
Using masks to reveal and hide elements.
Rotoscoping technique for isolating moving objects. - Paths and Graphs:Drawing paths and animating elements along a path.
Creating graphs and applying motion to them. - Audio:Importing audio files and synchronizing with animation.
Adding audio effects like echo and reverb. - Expressions:Using basic programming to control layers dynamically.
Writing simple expressions for automatic animation.
Advanced Level:
- Visual Effects (VFX):Compositing live-action footage with virtual elements.
Using chroma key and removing backgrounds (green screen).
Applying special effects like fire, smoke, and explosions. - Rendering Settings:Preparing compositions for output.
Choosing appropriate render settings based on project requirements.
- Introduction to Adobe After Effects:Definition and primary uses in motion graphics and visual effects.
- Design enthusiasts of all ages.
- Graphic and interior design students,.
- Engineers,
- Advertising agency employees
