After Effects CC 2021 – VFX Compositing and Visual Effects

Explore 3d camera setups, extrusion, and lighting in after effects cc 2021 to convert 2d shapes into 3d objects, animate with keyframes, and adjust depth and perspective.

Learn to create realistic camera shake in After Effects CC 2021 by applying position and rotation expressions, adjusting frequency, pixel offset, and scale to remove borders.

Learn how to use parenting and null objects in After Effects to drive one object's position, rotation, and scale from the star, with selective property linking.

Learn to link multiple shapes to a null object in After Effects CC 2021 to synchronize movement through parenting, controlling position, rotation, and scale for shapes, text, and camera.

Learn how to create and refine masks in After Effects, control boundaries with feather and expansion, adjust opacity, and apply multiple masks on a single layer for precise compositing.

Animation of mask path in after effects cc 2021; animate mask corners with keyframes and corner pin to reveal text beneath a flag, then parent to a null for cohesion.

Create and refine a freeze-frame shot by masking the glass and its shadow, then animate the mask with keyframes to keep the glass visible while the finger interacts behind it.

Learn to compose a scene in After Effects by placing a tablet and monitor, masking video onto screen, and using freeze-frame mask techniques to animate the glass and its shadow.

Master double exposure by masking and screening footage across two layers, using the mod menu screen and curves color correction to blend bright and dark areas for higher quality footage.

Learn to rotoscope with rotobrush to separate a character from the background, avoid frame-by-frame masking, adjust frame rate, refine edges, and place text between layers for a seamless composite.

Apply rotoscope and rotobrush techniques to replace the sky in the background, then use color correction and curves to turn the scene into a sunset, matching sky and character lighting.

Use track matte in after effects cc 2021 to apply masks and alpha mattes that reveal text inside shapes and display footage within the text.

Learn to use the Set Matte effect to drive a layer's alpha from another shape, letting you reveal text inside a colored shape quickly without duplicating layers.

Explore green screen keying in After Effects CC 2021 using color key and screen matte to remove the green background, refining edges with edge radius and spill suppressor.

Demonstrate green screen keying in After Effects cc 2021 by compositing a car with gunfire, applying key light and spill suppressor, and aligning bullets via duplication and parenting.

Refine a green screen keying of an explosion by using the eyedropper to set the matte, adjust alpha and spill suppression, and mask borders with feather.

Apply a linear color key to remove green and blue screen imperfections, adjust match color, tolerance, and softness, then refine edges with simple choke and composite with background footage.

Explore green and blue screens for transitions, master chroma keying with color key settings, tolerance, and softness, and apply a luma matte/track matte transition to reveal background.

Master camera tracking in after effects with the 3D camera tracker to create a virtual camera, then attach text and images to walls and floors for seamless composites.

Learn to track motion in After Effects CC 2021 and apply the data to logos, lines, and text, using keyframes, motion blur, and null objects.

Use two tracked points to analyze scale and rotation changes, adjust confidence to 95%, and apply the motion data to a null object and linked layers for precise track motion.

Apply warp stabilizer to handheld footage to reduce shaking and produce a smooth motion, with auto scale to fit the screen.

Learn to stabilize a moving character in video using the tracker and stabilized motion in After Effects CC 2021, keeping the subject steady while the background moves.
