What You’ll Learn
Software Deep Dive
A hands-on deep dive into the industry standard for motion design and 2D animation: Adobe After Effects and Adobe Animate.
You’ll learn everything from how to animate a simple ball-bounce, to advance motion and camera tracking, enabling you to seamlessly add 2D graphics into live action footage.
Principles of Animation
You’ll learn what brings animation to life and how to apply these practically in tools such as Adobe Animate and After Effects.
