This course is pitched at offline editors or assistants who want to learn more about the software and how to utilise it efficiently in the edit process. Also for editors who work alone and on quick turnaround projects where the templates and efficiency of presets can aid in the edit.

• An introduction to After Effects, its layout and tools
• Creating and animating text
• Working with templates
• Building templates for future use/projects/collaboration 
• Split Screens / Picture-in-picture
• Using and understanding Matte Types (Track mattes, Alpha and Luma and blending modes)
• Paint Outs/Object Removal – Content Aware Fill
• Blurring and mask tracking
• Compositing – Chroma Keying
• The Render Queue and exporting to the edit

Once completed you will have a better idea of what After Effects can and can’t do in the edit and to use what it can do to make your work more efficient and to a higher standard. 

As a delegate on the course you will also be notified of any networking events run by ourselves or partners as well as having access to our fortnightly drop in session at Gorilla Academy.
