The Highest Rated and Best Sellers After Effects and Video Editing Courses on Udemy.

Video Editing, Animation, Motion Graphics and Visual Effects is what I love creating and teaching, Offline and Online.

After Effects is what I love working with, every day, (except Sundays, my wife and kids won’t let me.)

I learned these the very hard way, very long time ago (since 1985) and I am still on it. It’s amazing when you discover that I used to use assembly language to animate sprites (think of PacMan), Green and B/W screens. Today I am animating Videos in  3D in just a click.

The Path to Mastery starts now. Being in the advertising industry has taught me that precision and a significant attention to details are very important, and makes the difference between a fake and life like animation or visual effect.

What You Will Learn from me:

After Effects: The whole lot. In my course After Effects Complete Course packed with all Techniques and Methods (No Tricks and gimmicks).

Motion Graphics: From simple Lower 3rd to Advanced & Complex Animation up to how to get your 2D character to walk around. 

Visual Effects & Compositing: Essentials topics covered in my After Effects and Video Editing courses.

Video Editing: If it's Adobe Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve you have excellent top rated courses.

Color Correction & Grading: Covered in my video editing courses.

Focus and Mastery are important elements for true skills creation. I will be more than happy to offer you all my skills, experience, and expertise.

I guess 208,000+ Students is a good sign that my courses will be of benefit to you.

Cheers

Louay
