After a somewhat theoretical introduction, the rest of the session will immerse you in 3D animation, video editing, and even the basics of virtual reality. By familiarizing yourself with After Effects’ interface, you will learn how to handle its main components to achieve highly professional and qualitative results. This will allow you to manipulate videos as you desire, perform green screen compositing, and create 2D or 3D animations. We emphasize that our training is suitable for beginners who wish to excel in the new world of motion design.
Creating a video and mastering various features
After Effects is often considered a highly technical software, reserved for skilled graphic designers or videographers. While partially true, the software remains quite intuitive, even for beginners. And the rewards are well worth it. By mastering the main features of the software, you can animate and scroll your titles, move objects to capture your audience’s attention, or use multiple cameras for different angles. In short, by creating your video and knowing how to use the numerous tools at your disposal, you can produce impressive and outstanding creations! 
Removing unwanted objects
Similar to other Adobe suite tools, such as Photoshop, After Effects allows you to clean up your project by removing objects directly from your video to achieve a perfectly clean result. Another interesting feature of the interface is the ability to add motion to specific scenes or isolate your background to focus and work seamlessly on foreground elements in your creation.
Discovering the 3D world with After Effects
This post-production and graphic animation software will also allow you to explore an entirely new world: 3D. After Effects enables you to combine video, sound, textual and graphic animation, as well as graphical effects. Numerous plugins or extensions will be at your disposal for this purpose. The training will heavily focus on the 3D world, covering 3D layers, adding cameras, and working with shadows and lights projected on your video project.
Exporting animations
When you start working with After Effects, one question often arises: how to manage the finalization of your project and the famous rendering? As we will see during our session, this final step is delicate, especially concerning the choice of the preferred rendering format. We highly recommend opting for the H264 format, a lightweight format that maintains quality. Before exporting your video, you should also adjust the preview area in the project’s timeline to export only the part of the video you wish to render.
