This course provides a comprehensive introduction to Adobe After Effects, covering essential tools and techniques for animation, motion graphics, and visual effects. You'll engage in precise practice, learning to create full animations and advanced transitions in dedicated chapters. By the end, you'll have the skills to craft dynamic animations and high-quality video content through hands-on projects.
You'll explore the core interface and functionality of After Effects, learning how to navigate compositions, layers, and essential tools. You'll also learn how to organize your projects effectively and gain a strong understanding of basic transformations, laying the groundwork for more complex animation tasks.
This section focuses on mastering key animation principles, such as keyframing and easing, along with learning to create a complete animation on a real example in a dedicated chapter and making motion graphics transitions in another.
Now you'll explore more advanced features such as chroma keying with the Keylight effect, using masks for refining effects, Adjustment Layers for applying effects to multiple layers, and pre-composing for better project organization. Additionally, you'll practice creating professional transitions, perfecting techniques like zooms and whip pans, with an emphasis on precise execution.

The teaching methodology at Codefinity is excellent, and I particularly appreciate how it has prepared me to handle real-world coding problems. Currently, I am delving into Node.js and eagerly anticipate building full-stack projects that integrate all the knowledge I have gained.

My first course was 4 hours, I did it in a few days, "nugget-style. The instructions are very clear and easy to understand. There is even a hint to help you get the answer, and if you still cannot get the answer, then you can display the answer. I love the learning style that is used, it engages me.

Bill Wagner

I have really liked the browser-based lessons that allow me to code within the lesson. The RUN button allows me to test the code I write before submitting for a grade.
