In this Beginners After Effects course, you'll learn how to create animations and motion graphics sequences, as well as the basic principles of animation. We'll explore how to import assets from Photoshop and Illustrator, use and manipulate video clips, and add effects to layers for spectacular results. We will also take a comprehensive look at text animation, animated titles, logo design, and how to create the same look you see on internet videos, film, and television. You'll learn acceptable workflow practices too - (how to construct your projects to make sense and be easily changed) and save your creations into many different file formats for any application.
You'll also learn how to set up customised workspaces, so the tools and features you need to use regularly are just one click away. Customisable workspaces are great for teams or families, as you'll learn how to create multiple different workspaces that you can save for each user.
We also dedicate a portion of day two for you to ask us real-life questions, so you gain knowledge of doing something with the software relevant to you. This course is ideal for those new to After Effects, and at its completion, you will be a highly competent user of this incredible package. For the full technical breakdown, please see further down the page.
Finally, we offer six months of email support on all of our courses. If you get stuck on something (as long as it's in your course outline), drop us an email, and your trainer will get back to you with a solution.

Most of our Adobe courses come with a free Adobe authorised training manual for your reference during and after the training. The courses where no manual is available come with comprehensive notes for you to take away with you. We always have a maximum of six delegates in our classrooms which will give you more one on one time with the instructor.
You are encouraged to ask us examples of how to do things that you need to learn for you role. We try and tailor a portion of the day to accommodate this, so that everybody leaves with relevant knowledge suited to their job.
Our trainers are all Adobe certified (Adobe Certified Instructors) and more importantly, have worked in relevant roles using all of the software they teach. We check all of our trainers credentials thoroughly before we employ them, to give you the student, the very best learning experience.
