Get Started with After Effects 7.1

Kevin begins the course by answering this important question: why use After Effects? After explaining how to import your footage, Kevin gives a thorough overview of the user interface and shows you how to get started by creating a composition. You learn about the timeline, keyframes, motion blur, adding text animations, masking, working with effects, best practices, etc. And of course, Kevin explains how to render your work, and how to choose the right codec when exporting.
