Trish Meyer leads beginners through a gentle introduction
to Adobe After Effects: from creating a new project and
importing sources, through arranging and animating layers,
applying effects, and creating variations, to rendering
the final movie. However, this is no paint-by-numbers
exercise. Trish demonstrates how she makes creative
decisions and saves time through the use of keyboard
shortcuts and smart working practices. Additional movies
explain further details about how After Effects works under
the hood. Her measured pace helps even those completely new
to After Effects understand the program so that they can
use it effectively on their own projects. Exercise files
are included with the course.
