An Introduction to Aftereffects

After Effects is a brilliant piece of software. Being an Adobe product it is entirely user friendly, working in all the familiar language of Photoshop, Indesign and Illustrator interfaces. Files and layers are all cross transferable from other Adobe design products which makes for an efficient work flow and organisation.

For this introduction we were given some text to have a play with and shown through some of the basic functions.
Examples of basic animation, lighting, cameras, parent and child relationships and linked action, nesting, automation, effects, the import and export of files, rasterization, rendering and output, layered images, its links with Photoshop, illustrator and Maya.

Looking forward to seeing the results if used in conjunction with Module8 and other such Vj software as there is real potential for live Application.
