Discover how Adobe After Effects is a video compositing tool distinct from editing, layering footage and elements to create unified shots with motion graphics and visual effects.
Explore the After Effects interface, import footage, create and export compositions, and apply keyframes, masking, text, and basic effects to craft motion graphics and a morph sequence.
Explore the Adobe After Effects interface, including the main menu, project panel, compositions, layers, effects, and the preview window. Create a composition, import footage, and reset the workspace.
Import your footage and media into an After Effects project using file import, drag and drop, and the project panel; organize with folders and handle unsupported formats or codecs.
Learn how to work with layers in After Effects, stacking, transforming, blending modes, anchor points, opacity, and timing to composite multiple elements in a single composition.
Learn how to apply and manage effects in After Effects, using the Effects and Presets panel, adjusting color corrections, cartoon, glow, and gradient ramp to enhance layers.
Animate layers in Adobe After Effects by enabling keyframes on position, rotation, opacity, and glow; offset, duplicate, and blend keyframes for organic motion, with bezier interpolation and graph editor.
Learn to create and customize text in After Effects, adjust fonts, color, stroke, alignment, and paragraph settings, and animate text with keyframes and motion blur.
Learn to use masking in After Effects to composite multiple video layers, create clone effects, and refine edges with feather, opacity, and mask path animation.
Explore shape layers in After Effects to craft vector shapes for motion graphics and visual effects, using fills, strokes, gradients, groups, and the repeater and twist effects.
Learn pre-composing in After Effects to group layers into nested compositions, reuse effects across clips, and control attributes with move all attributes or leave existing ones for scalable, reusable visuals.
Learn rotoscoping in After Effects by using masks to extract water and myself for a seamless morph transition, with masking tips, keyframes, and motion blur.
Rotoscope Walter and Tobey to build a morph transition in After Effects, align layers, add particles and glow, and finish with color grading for a cohesive look.
