Adobe After Effects is recognised as an essential tool for motion graphics and visual effects. It offers a fast, flexible, affordable 2D and 3D compositing and animation toolset to help you develop your creative ideas with speed and control, and deliver high-quality results for film, video, multimedia, or the Web.

Our introduction course is designed for those new to post-production techniques, and would like to get the most from this immensely powerful application. Whether you are a motion graphics designer, a web designer, rich media artist or broadcast video editor, this course covers all the techniques you need to significantly improve your command over Adobe After Effects.

The emphasis throughout the course is on practical exercises which cover working with layers, key frames, motion paths, animations, 2D compositions, audio, shape masks, rendering, optimisation and much more. By the end of the training you’ll feel comfortable with such concepts as importing files, key-framing, nesting, parenting, keyframe interpolation, working with transfer modes, pre-rendering comps, masking and matting techniques, and finishing.
