If you know Adobe Photoshop, it is helpful to think of After Effects as “Photoshop Effects in Motion.” Everything that you learn in Photoshop can be ANIMATED in After Effects. This session is Part 1 of a multi-part series on tools, tips, and techniques in Adobe After Effects.

Learn what Adobe After Effects can do and how it differs from Adobe Animate and some of its similarities with Adobe Photoshop
Learn how to use the major panels in After Effects:
- Project panel
- Composite panel

- Effects and Presets panel
Learn the different between Solids and Shapes and how to use them
Learn how to create simple animations using key-frames

Other classes in the upcoming months will include:

Masks and Mattes
Animating Everything in Adobe After Effects:
- Lights
- Cameras
- Actions/Objects (Vectors, Bitmaps, Texts, Masks, Effects)
3D Rendering
Video Special Effect (VFX) (Rotoscoping, Content Aware Fill, Tracking, etc.)
Rendering a Composition to a video format for YouTube, etc.

Since this is an evening meeting, we'll have pizza.
