What You Will Learn?

  • I remember being terrified when I first looked at AfterEffects. I'm going to hold your hand as we tour the interface, investigate some key concepts for working with the software, and examine a few animation principles. I'll share my workflow from concept to published animation and you'll follow the same steps as you make your own animation to post to Instagram. This class is suitable for anyone who is new to AfterEffects and/or 2D animation. It's the class I needed when I first started making animation. Let's roll!.
