Master advanced techniques in Adobe After Effects by building projects that feature rain and snow effects and animated bars with animated values, and share your projects for feedback.
Here are your project files so you can follow along.
Scale and fit videos on screen in After Effects by adjusting transform properties while preserving proportions. Break the chain to widen slightly and address perspective mismatches.
Apply the corner pin effect to a layer in After Effects, adjust the four corners to fit the screen, and explore masking as an alternative with start time adjustments.
Explore linear wipe and real wipe transitions in After Effects to reveal logos from left to right, using keyframes and blur for soft edges.
Master the light wipe effect in After Effects to reveal logos or videos with a circular wipe, adjustable direction to 90 degrees, and keyframe timing for opening transitions.
Create animated snow in Adobe After Effects by keyframing flake count and size, then tweak wind, color, and motion for realistic snowfall scenes.
Create an animated radial chart in After Effects by drawing a circle with a thick stroke, revealing a radial wipe, centering animation, and animating counterclockwise from 100 to a percent.
Create a Rambo-style title by placing fire footage inside bold text with a track matte, using alpha matte. Learn alpha vs. luma matte and brightness impact.
Adobe After Effects is a class leading motion graphics and visual effects software from Adobe.
Do you find it intimidating to create more sophisticated animations, make your projects look better? Do you struggle finding what effects do and how to use them? And which one to use to start with? Look no further. In this course, we're going to dig deeper into more advanced techniques with effects to take your knowledge to the next level.
We will cover more effects and different kinds of effects you can find inside the software so you should have basic knowledge of using After Effects, and hopefully this course will allow you to become a better animator and a motion graphics designer.
Make sure you know basics of After Effects. You should have a working knowledge of these topics (things we do not cover here):
creating compositions
customising compositions
importing images and videos
creating keyframes
editing keyframes
applying effects to layers/objects
exporting your compositions to different formats
Create a new project to get started and let's follow along adding effects and animating them.
Once you start watching the videos start practising what you're learning using the project you have created.
I encourage you to share your projects here. Let's all share what we have created in this course.
