Duration: 1 Day
Course Overview
Advanced After Effects training takes your existing skills to power level, teaching you further creative techniques to make your motion graphics stand out from the rest.
In this course, we delve deeper into After Effects to cover:
• Advanced workflows to enhance your post-production work, including visual effects, colour correction, grading and exporting.
• Advanced techniques such as 3D tracking, colour correction and grading.
• Keying techniques, such as Luma Mattes and Spill Suppression.
• Animation – deeper modes of expression.
• An in-depth look at Cinema 4D Lite which is bundled with After Effects and is an incredible asset for high-level 3D animation, lighting and effects.
Whilst we have a standard syllabus for this course (see over), as far as possible we tailor the training to focus on the techniques of interest to the delegates in attendance. Our trainer discusses this with the group at the start of the course.
Our trainer will also endeavour to answer any questions you have about your use of After Effects, within the time available.
