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.
