Adobe After Effects: An Introduction & Practice Session

Due to the current health concerns, all GA short-form events, workshops & bootcamps will temporarily be held online - including this one.

Registered participants will be notified 24 hours in advance of this program with information on how to log in to the Zoom Meeting Room and other tools you’ll need for the session. Registration for this offering will close 2 hours prior to the session start in order to allow all students ample opportunity to have the technology enabled.

Interested in animating a logo? Need to mock up a UI animation for a client? Curious about how to make text move over video footage?

These are just a few things you can do with Adobe After Effects! In this workshop, you'll learn about the possibilities available when animating with After Effects, as well as the program’s general layout and basic functions. We'll spend the majority of the workshop practicing the tools and techniques with a supplied project or a project of your own.

By the end of the lesson, you’ll know your way around the program’s interface and will be able to start making things move with After Effects.

• You will need access to a laptop or computer with a working webcam and microphone as well as a strong internet connection.
• This course will occur completely online using Zoom and Slack.
