A Filmmaker's Guide To After Effects

In this intensive, one-day course taught by Marcus Geduld, we'll tour the major features of Adobe After Effects. After learning the interface, we'll dive into importing assets and timeline animation. We'll round out the morning with effects, nested timelines and rendering. After lunch, we'll launch into some of AE's advanced features, such as Bezier masks, chroma keying, text animation and some advanced effects.

By the end of the day, you'll know After Effects well enough to get tons of real-world work done. You'll also leave with a list of resources you can use to gain further knowledge and take your After Effect's work to the next level.

The Interface.
Importing assets.
Timeline Animation and the Comp Panel.
