11:00 – 12:10 After Effects

Adobe After Effects Logo

Today we’ll look at the extensive tools available for building a composition from multiple sources. Specifically we’ll look at blending, stabilization and coloring to combine files to one composition.

PreComposing is a After Effects feature that allows you to package your layers/effects into a new composition. This can be really handy when working with many layers and effects.

Using Pexels and/or Pixaby and create a short clip similar to the one demonstrated. Practice masking. blending and color correction techniques to make your composition look like one connected scene. You can do an example like I did or come up with something entirely original.

Upload the completed rendered clip to your Public Folder. Filename: Blending_LastName
