Cinema 4D Lite course for After Effects users April 2014

 

Nowadays, post-production workflows allow greater integration between the different programs: editing, compositing, motion graphics, 3D or color correction are just a few clicks away between the different tools used. However, being able to carry out these clicks does not mean that we know how to perform the disciplines enclosed in the different software.

This course will explain the Cinema 4D Lite tool and its integration with Adobe After Effects CC, allowing the many compositors who use AE on a daily basis to open up to the use and knowledge of the powerful and easy-to-use motion graphics and 3D tool.

DURATION: 8 hours

PROFESSOR: José Carlos Panadero.

Jose Carlos Panadero is a trainer, editor and postproducer. He is an Adobe Certified After Effects (Adobe Certified Instructor) and Apple Mentor Trainer. He has combined advertising and film projects with his work as a trainer since 2004. Here you can see some of his latest advertising work.

SOFTWARE USED: Cinema 4D Lite in After Effects CC

AIMED AT: Compositors, editors, post-producers, post-production coordinators, modelers, filmmakers and in general anyone who uses the After Effects tool in their workflow.
