About the workshop:
Adobe After Effects remains the leading tool for creating motion graphics. This beginner-friendly course introduces participants to the fundamentals of the program, starting with core animation principles and a guided tour of its interface and features. Students will then learn to work with essential tools, including layers and keyframing, to build a strong foundation in After Effects. Students will have the opportunity to create their own animations under the guidance of the instructor.
What you will learn: Animate text, logos, and graphics for videos and social media platforms. Build a strong foundation in animation principles and keyframing. Apply compositing techniques including keying, mattes, masks, and more.
Workstations equipped with Adobe After Effects are provided at Docs In Progress, but students are also welcome to bring their own laptop with the software installed.
