You’ll also learn how to create layers from scratch. In this chapter you’ll learn how to create compositions and bring layers into them from the Project panel. Every project contains compositions, each of which is the framework of a movie layers are assembled within the framework of these compositions. You’ll learn about the basic controls and the most commonly used panels in this chapter. In this chapter you’ll get an overview of how After Effects works, what it does, and what the main controls are.īefore you start following along with the instructions in this training, it will help to learn what the controls are called and where things are located.

This Learn by Video course offers in-depth training on the interface, workflow, and features of Adobe After Effects CS6. Here’s an intro to the course from us both. Together we teamed up to provide a good mix of technical and creative training in our favorite software application. I worked on this course with Adobe’s Todd Kopriva who I just love working with. Let's go ahead and learn some After Effects CS6.It’s finally here, my brand new After Effects CS6 – Learn by Video course. ![]() And last but not least you can work with Adobe SpeedGrade to create all kinds of LUT Files or Look-Up Tables for your comps to really change the way they look. We have a Mask Feather Tool which gives you a lot of control in controlling exactly what parts of your mask are going to be sharp and blurry. There's also the ability to apply a different type of mask as you see here. Well there's a Rolling Shutter Repair Filter now and we can easily change and fix those problems. So that it you know it's actually a photograph at the top of the picture and then slowly goes down to the bottom. Now for you photographers and filmmakers, sometimes you'll notice that your footage comes out a little crazy because the way camera's work is that there's a rolling shutter effect. So we have the ability to go to our Settings here and we can change the Renderer to a Ray-traced 3D which is going to be used quite a bit in this course because a lot of the new effects rely on that Renderer to give it the extra umph. And so it's 2D vector layer extrusion, awesome stuff. So imagine taking your logo and extruding it and you could do all kinds of cool stuff, rotate it, whatever you need to do. Now if you love Adobe Illustrator like I do, you can create your logos, you can create your graphics inside of Illustrator, bring them into After Effects and extrude them, like the 3D models. Which means we'd be able to place new artwork on billboards, on sides of buses and that kind of stuff. Now we also have a really awesome 3D Camera Tracker. So that's just one example of a performance enhancement right there. We would have to re-render ever if we undid something. But if I change my mind I press Command or Control Z, boom it's back. ![]() Well all of a sudden that's stuff gone and I have to re-render. Well let's say I grab something and then use it like this. Now you see this green line here? For those of you who are familiar with After Effects you know that whenever you do a render, when you hit the Spacebar you see this little green line that tells you that the frames are stored in, in the cache. But some of the things that will enhance your performance as far as workflow is the Global Performance Cache. You know this is in progress, this is, it's an Ancient Glacier, it's going to be really cool. Now just a little sneak peak at one of the projects we'll be working on later on. I'm going to show you how to use them in this course. ![]() There's some tools that you won't be able to live without once you get used to them. There is some really exciting stuff to talk about in this release of After Effects which is CS6.
