We will start the tutorial off by covering what motion graphics and compositing are and the various terms we encounter in After Effects such as project, composition, and layers. We will then take a look at importing images into After Effects so you can learn how to begin work on your own projects. After that, you will learn to do common tasks such as creating effects, masking, transforming and animating. And to wrap up this tutorial, we will go over how to render your projects out of After Effects to deliver to your client or show the world what you have accomplished. This series of step-by-step videos were developed with artists new to After Effects in mind so we will be moving at a steady, easy-to-follow pace making sure you understand terms and basic techniques.

We'll begin this tutorial by learning what a chroma key is and what we need to look out for while we shoot the greenscreen footage. From there, we begin keying a sample shot using the Keylight keyer. We'll then learn how to refine our matte and edge using the various built-in modifiers. Finally, we will composite our keyed footage over a background and learn about spill suppression and some compositing tricks to integrate our pieces of footage. We'll end the tutorial by learning a method of treating compressed or chroma subsampled footage to pull better keys.

We'll begin this project by learning the basics of importing images, compositing images together and production workflows for rendering safely. Then we'll do some basic compositing, masking, animation and color correction. We'll finish the course by creating a transition between two videos and learn about pre-comping. This series of lessons is a great starting point to learning After Effects. By learning the basic workflows of After Effects, we will be able to create appealing animations and video in no time and begin using After Effects in our production pipeline.

We'll begin this tutorial by learning about the pen tool, which lets us draw shapes and masks. We'll then dive deeper into the masking system in After Effects and learn some time saving workflows for checking your roto. We'll then jump into the basic workflows of animating masks and how we can keep a consistent shape for a more appealing matte. We'll end by outputting our mask into an image sequence that can be used in other applications.

We'll begin this project by creating a new project and learning the basics of the mocha planar tracker. We'll then learn how to bring that tracking data into after effects to do a sign replacement. We'll then learn how to change the output of mocha for an easier integration into After Effects. Once that is done, we'll learn about tracking with multiple layers in mocha and how to stabilize footage. We'll finish by working through a few difficult to track clips and learn the variety of tools we have to tweak and edit tracks in mocha.

We'll begin the tutorial by learning the basics of importing images and moving around the After Effects user interface. Then we'll do some basic compositing, masking, animation and color correction. We'll finish with a project to composite a 3D render, create an interesting animated wipe and render it into a video file.

We'll begin the tutorial by doing a simple one point track using some easy footage and how to apply that movement information to other layers. We'll then learn how to do a two point track on real footage and create a black-bar effect over someone's eyes. Lastly, we'll track the four corners of a television screen to replace the image on the screen. We'll then learn some tips for getting a track from difficult footage using color correct techniques.
