Advanced After Effects course. Compositing techniques for editors. November 2012
Aug
New call for our advanced After Effects course. Exploring useful techniques for editors and compositors.
Adobe After Effects is considered in professional post-production environments as a useful “Swiss army knife”. With this powerful cross-platform program you can develop multiple applications in the field of visual compositing, motion graphics, color correction… Its timeline-based environment also makes it easy to understand for professionals in other disciplines such as editors, colorists, etc.
In this course we will explore advanced AE techniques, tools and plug-ins through their specific and daily uses in professional post-production. Far from explaining all the tools in the program one by one, we will focus on how to combine them to do real work. This is not a course about WHAT After Effects is but HOW to use it in advanced professional post-production. All the topics to be covered will have as exercises materials coming from real works and situations.
