Course Overview
Adobe After Effects is a digital motion graphics, visual effects, and compositing application developed by Adobe Systems. It is widely used in the post-production process of filmmaking, television production, digital media, and online content creation.
This course provides a comprehensive understanding of 2D and 2.5D animation, visual effects compositing, and finishing techniques such as image enhancement and colour correction. Adobe After Effects can also be used as a basic non-linear editing tool and a media transcoder, making it a versatile solution within modern post-production workflows at CounselTrain.
Learners will gain practical experience in animating, modifying, and compositing media in both 2D and 3D environments. The course covers essential tools and techniques, including keyframing, masking, tracking, layering, parallax effects, camera movement, and the use of third-party plug-ins to achieve professional-quality results.
The programme also introduces the core After Effects interface, focusing on the Project Panel, Composition Panel, and Timeline Panel. Participants will learn how to import and organise footage, manage layers and timing, and preview compositions effectively for precise creative control.
In addition, the course highlights the integration of After Effects with other Adobe applications such as Photoshop and Illustrator, allowing learners to work with vector graphics, images, shapes, Bézier curves, filters, and adjustment layers to create visually compelling motion designs.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to produce high-quality motion graphics and visual effects suitable for film, television, advertising, social media, and digital platforms.
