After Effects can feel overwhelming with its layers, keyframes, and timelines. But once you learn the core techniques, it becomes the most powerful tool in your motion design arsenal. This beginner friendly course takes you from zero to creating stunning animations, motion graphics, and visual effects. You will learn the interface, keyframing, masking, compositing, motion tracking, particle effects, expressions for automation, green screen removal, and rendering best practices. All through project based lessons including lower thirds, animated infographics, and type animations.

This Course Offers

• A complete walkthrough of the After Effects interface and workspace customization.

• Visual effects including green screen removal (keying), masking, and colour correction.
• Expressions for simplifying complex animations without manual keyframing.
