Adobe® After Effects® 7.0: Creating 2D Compositions
(One-day workshop)
Date(s):
Aug 11
Instructor(s): Joel Howe
Description
You've probably worked with some design or video editing applications to create imagery, either static or animated. However, you now need to create more sophisticated video clips than you have before, either for broadcast or for the web. In this course, you'll use Adobe After Effects 7.0 to create high quality, two-dimensional motion graphics by combining multiple media files and effects. You will create 2D compositions with sequenced media clips, layers with animation, transparency, and effects, and will render the output for either broadcast or Internet distribution.
Intended Audience:
This course is ideal for anyone who wishes to work in the video field or who currently works in the field, or an Adobe application user looking to expand his or her skills by adding effects to video projects. Before taking this course, students should have basic Windows application skills. They should also have experience using a video editing application, such as Adobe Premiere or Apple Final Cut Pro, as well as at least basic experience in graphics applications, such as Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.
