In this course, Chris Meyer demonstrates the most common
techniques for adding selective transparency to layers in
After Effects through the use of masks, track mattes, and
stencils. In addition to explaining the tools and basic
theory behind transparency, the course covers several
practical applications for these techniques, including
isolating objects, creating vignettes, and filling text
with visual texture. Tutorials on crafting custom
transitions and other treatments are also included.
Exercise files accompany the course.

The After Effects Apprentice video lessons were created
