WEEK 10 LECTURES

After Effect

Adobe After Effects is a 2.5D animation software used in film, television and web video creation. It is used for animation, visual effects, and motion picture compositing. This software could manipulate imagery, combining layers of video and images into the same scene. We can import elements such as images, video, vector and more into After Effects.

In Photoshop, we should name the element synchronizely as it links into the After Effect software.
