As part of my Professional Development Bursary, I took an After Effects course so I could learn a bit more about video editing. I’d self taught myself Final Cut Pro, but wanted to be able to make my own moving graphics, and have more complex animations but didn’t know where to start!
I went to Platform 39 which is an Adobe Training Centre in London. The course was good value, and as there was a very small class (just two students) we had plenty of opportunities to ask questions and tailor some of our learning.
We learned the basic navigation of the programme, and complete two short projects to learn about the basics of key frames, effects, masks and so on.
(This isn’t a photo of the actual footage, just a glitch… but it looks pretty great)
I’m hoping to use these skills for video soon. I’m working on a project soon with Revolve:R where I’ll been making a visual response to a poem, so this seems like a good chance to try something a bit more complex out.
