Digital Photography and Imaging - Week 10

LECTURES:

Today's lesson is about introduction of After Effects.

What is After Effects?

Adobe After Effects is a 2.5D animation software used for animation, visual effects, and motion picture compositing.

After Effects is used in film, TV, and web video creation.

This software is used in the post-production phase, and has hundreds of effects that can be used to manipulate imagery. This allows you to combine layers of video and images into the same scene.

Adobe After Effects takes a different approach for creating movement.

Motion graphics animation works by manipulating vector and rasterized art to create and tell a story.

You can integratephysical based media as well through photographs and videography.
