Starts July 23
Event Navigation
1 session: Saturday, July 23, 10am-4pm
This workshop offers a solid introduction to Adobe After Effects with a focus on basic animation with text, and creating and animating shapes. We’ll begin by covering the After Effects interface, then you’ll create a composition and various shapes. You’ll then learn how to work with keyframes and properties to animate objects and export them to share. After getting comfortable with these key functions, you’ll have a chance to experiment, learn to animate to music, and make a more complex animation. There is a lunch break.
