After Effects - Getting Started - Mac or Windows

What You Will Learn

It's time to enhance and add to your video in the post-production process. Get started by creating a composition and familiarizing yourself with workspaces. You'll use basic animation by applying effects to a layer and importing footage using Adobe Bridge and working with imported Illustrator layers. Spend time creating and formatting animated text. Use shape layers and begin to build upon it by adjusting anchor points and animating a background. Become familiar with masks by creating and editing them. Gain confidence with puppet tools, so you can add natural motion and record animation in real time.
