Description
If you?re new to After Effects and want to get up to speed quickly, After Effects Apprentice was created just for you. With 11 core lessons
plus a fun final project, you?ll quickly get into the program and learn how to tap its potential – whether you want to create motion
graphics for a network program, your company?s video, or your own independent production.
In this book, you?ll get a professional perspective
on the most important features a motion graphics artist needs to learn to use this program effectively. You?ll learn to creatively edit
and combine layers, animate eye-catching titles, replace a screen on a computer monitor, place a studio shot in anew environment, manipulate
3D space, and use effects to generate excitement or enhance the realism of a scene. Easy to follow step-by-step instructions take you
through each technique, including projects that encourage you to express it in your own way. You?ll learn more than just the tools; you?ll
learn skills that you can immediately put to work in your own projects.
Topics include how to:
* Animate, layer, and composite images
and text.
* Manipulate keyframes to create more refined animations.
* Use masks, mattes, stencils and modes to add depth.

to make them easier to coordinate.
