Description
Do you want to learn motion graphics, visual effects, and compositing but felt held back by the cost of software like After Effects? If you answered yes, than I have great news for you.
There is a very powerful application that is used in both the TV and movie industry called Blackmagic Design Fusion. It is made by the same company that makes Davinci Resolve. It has pretty much all of the capabilities of AE but the good news is you can get it for FREE. They have two versions available, one for free download and another studio version which costs $299. The great thing is that most of its best features are available in the free version. Both versions were recently updated and even the paid version is now 1/3 the price is was available for previously.
This course will take you step by step and introduce you to the amazing capabilities of this free application. You will learn the interface, its workflow, and create basic motion graphics, visual effects, and digital compositing including green screen removal.
Who this course is for:
- People interested in motion graphics and visual effects on a budget.
