This training course is designed to get new motion graphics and VFX artists started with the basics of After Effects. Author Ian Robinson introduces the concepts of motion graphics and the Creative Cloud, shows some simple tips for relinking footage and setting up the keyboard to suit your workflow, and then breaks down the six core foundations of After Effects. He also covers compositions, layers, animation, effects, 3D, and rendering at a high level, so that viewers can zero in on what they need to learn next using our After Effects library of training.
