  • 1.4 Creating and Animating Primitive Shapes Demo - Part124:57

    Create and animate basic primitive shapes in After Effects, using shape layers, rectangles, fills and strokes, and keyframes to control position, anchor point, and timing in a composition.

  • 1.5 Creating and Animating Primitive Shapes Demo -Part223:19

    Animate primitive shapes with keyframes, masks, and shape layers; use spacebar panning to view motion, master motion paths, easing, squash and stretch, timing, and rotation.

  • 1.6 Simply Bouncing Ball Demo -Part116:43
  • 1.7 Simply Bouncy Ball Demo - Part219:51

    learn to build a bouncing ball in after effects by adding a handle with the convert vertex tool, using breakdown keys, shaping the motion path, and applying squash and stretch.

  • 1.8 Complex Bouncy Ball Demo - Part119:52

    Create a dynamic bounce in Adobe After Effects by building a scrolling background with pen tool shapes, setting the ball’s anchor point, and animating its position with keyframes.

  • 1.9 Complex Bouncing Ball Demo - Part220:16

    Animate a complex bouncing ball in After Effects by applying squash and stretch, managing motion path and keyframes, adjusting scale and rotation for impact, and timing to hit obstacles.

  • 1.10 Exporting from After Effects14:33

    Export your composition from After Effects via the render queue, choose lossless or lossy formats, adjust the output module, and save in a widely compatible file for online sharing.

  • 1.13 Importing Footage - Part220:46

    Import footage and storyboards, set up compositions, and adjust keyframes to control speed and timing. Keep assets linked and organized, synchronize audio, and ensure smooth looping backgrounds for cohesive projects.

  • 1.14 Parenting - Part122:55

    Master parenting in after effects by linking upper arm, lower arm, claw, and ball, so moving one layer moves the rest; set anchor points and test rotation to avoid breakage.

  • 1.15 Parenting - Part221:04

    Animate a ball with printed and unprinted layers, use parenting to synchronize parts, and refine motion paths and squash for a cohesive crane grab.

Description

Adobe After Effects is a Motion Media, Compositing, Animation and Special Effects software. It is used for post-production process of television and film production. After Effects can also create 2D and 3D layers and effects and simulate particles like fire, rain, etc. and even be used for color correction and add music to a project. 
In this course, you will be given an in-depth instruction on After Effects and all the tools and effects in the workspace. You will be shown how to create and animate primitive shapes and move onto a simple to complex bouncing ball. More advanced techniques like 3D layers and cameras will be also demonstrated, along with animating text, particles, lights, and other common effects. Lastly, you will be shown how to build and puppet in Photoshop, then import into After Effects to perform techniques to the puppet called rigging and pinning and then how to make the puppet walk. 
After Effects can be complicated to use, but once you get the hang of it, it’s very powerful. 

Who this course is for:

  • Students creating motion graphics and visual effects for film, tv, video and web.
