Dive into Adobe After Effects 1

You want to start using After Effects, right?

If you've never opened (or opened and immediately closed) After Effects, you're in the right place.

This is the first part in my 3-part Dive Into After Effects series. I created this series to make learning how to use After Effects as easy as possible.

You learn by doing.

In the Dive Into After Effects series, you'll follow along and work on your own project while learning.

What makes me qualified to teach you?

My name is Phil. I am a professional motion graphics artist and video creator. Plus, I'm the creator of some of the world's most popular After Effects courses - with over 150,000 students and thousands of 5-star reviews like these ones from this course:

I am new to after Effects and this course is so easy to follow. Good Job. - Sequin Frederick

What's this course all about?

After Effects is an amazing program that can help you create motion graphics, visual effects, and titles that make your videos better, but it can be intimidating to try out. In this 45-minute course, you'll learn the basics of using After Effects: understand the program layout, learn how to use the tools, get comfortable with using the timeline. We'll cover everything from opening up After Effects for the first time, importing assets, and creating your very first composition.

This class is perfect for video creators, designers, and everyone who wants to learn After Effects in an un-intimidating way. No prior knowledge or experience is required. By the end of the class, you'll have the basic knowledge to start creating projects and dive even further into the world of After Effects.

Course Assignment

Create a title card within After Effects. This assignment will teach you how to create a new composition, use the basic After Effects tools, arrange layers in your sequence, and use layer properties to change the scale, position, transparency, and rotation of your objects.

/video hour

EDIT 8-Jul-16: [wow, sorry, udemy reviews don't support line breaks]I felt bad leaving a below-avg review based on speculation about the course's $/video hour rate, so I crunched the #s on After FX courses on Udemy.

***** As of today: *****$/video hour of video for Dive into After FX 1 and 2: $20***** average/median $/video hour rate of other highly-reviewed after FX courses: $6.67 / $5.71***** average/median $/hour rate of other highly-reviewed after FX courses NOT COUNTING free courses: $8.22 / $5.71***** So it's clear that these 'Dive Into' courses are by far the most expensive After FX courses on a $/video hour basis.

free courses

This is largely due to 2 things: his having the largest # of free courses w/ high review counts (tied w/ 3 total free courses) available w/in the topic area, and his having 13 total courses, or 1/3rd of the data points, which raises the average/median of the group considerably (sort of artificially obscuring his above-market rates).

***** FWIW, Phil seems like a great instructor, and I appreciate the # of free courses he offers.
