Target skills
Learn what is genuinely useful
Training combines motion principles with After Effects tools: compositions, keyframes, curves, masks, expressions, compositing, graphic templates and render optimization.
Understand compositions and keyframes
Organize time, layers and properties in a predictable project.
Animate with fluidity
Control timing, easing, curves and visual rhythm.
Build title systems
Create reusable branded text and graphic components.
Use masks and effects
Combine mattes, effects and tracking for controlled compositing.
Integrate filmed elements
Track, stabilize, key and match graphic elements to footage.
Optimize renders and templates
Reduce project complexity and deliver reliable files and outputs.
Collaborative training
Training built around your projects
After a short demonstration, participants practise, compare methods and receive immediate feedback. When real files cannot be shared, equivalent exercises reproduce the same constraints without exposing confidential information.
The content and pace are adjusted to the team’s roles, authorized tools and expected results.
✓
Animate a logo or signatureCreate a concise branded reveal with controlled timing and delivery.
✓
Build a reusable title kitCreate lower thirds, headings and transitions that editors can update.
✓
Turn data into an explanatory animationStructure charts, labels and motion to clarify information.
