What You Will Learn?
- Are you interested in video editing, visual effects, and motion graphics? Then there's no getting around Adobe After Effects!.
- This much in advance: This program is so incredibly powerful that it's impossible to cover every angle explicitly. So why am I still confidently calling this course a comprehensive A-Z Course? I am convinced that I will provide you with so much knowledge, tools and understanding of effects and contexts that you will be able to master your individual challenges of all kinds in a solution-oriented way..
- Of course, the content of this course deals with all theory, so you will be able to find your way around the user interface and the inexhaustible variety of parameters and possibilities. Apart from that, to put it bluntly, we'll go through impressively spectacular project examples that will encourage you to get involved and hopefully get you as excited about After Effects as I have been myself for more than 15 years..
- Among other things, we will look at the basic functions, effects, import and export settings. You will learn about keyframes, text animations and expressions. You'll simulate your own car accident, we'll extract music data so you can animate your videos to music, you'll integrate text into real landscapes, remove objects from filmed scenes, create a 3D cell phone model without additional plug-ins and much, much more..
- For you there is not only a handout with the most important shortcuts and expressions, but also downloadable video material, which I have recorded by drone and GoPro especially for this course..
- If you are passionate about video creation and want to learn and understand the best program on the global market, Adobe After Effects, then this course might be for you. If you are willing to apply your knowledge to projects through fascinating, action-packed examples in a way that will stick with you, then this course is definitely for you!.
- I look forward to sharing my enthusiasm for AE with you!.
