Adobe After Effects

Adobe After Effects is the go-to application for motion graphics, compositing, and visual effects — used by studios and agencies across every screen-based medium. In this course you'll build from the ground up, mastering the After Effects workspace, compositions, keyframes, shape and text layers, and the principles of animation. You'll progress through 3D layers, camera animation, layer parenting, and masking, developing the skills to produce polished, professional results across any format. In the final weeks you'll explore expressions, puppet tools, motion tracking, colour correction, and the render queue, giving you a complete post-production toolkit. You'll leave with a Certificate of Completion from the Academy of Digital Arts and a showreel of motion work ready for your portfolio.
