    Amazing class taught by Mr.Mark Chandler. The 3 jam-packed days were just a steller foundation on what's possible with creating in After Effects and Premiere. The class was a mixture of informational lessons and real-world perspectives. I feel more confident tackling more AE projects now.

    Chad was a great professor and really dove in depth on the topics we covered. And the curriculum wasn’t super rigid either, we did lots of exploring and playing around which was helpful. It’s always great to see someone else’s process. It definitely helped that I was the only student too, got to pick his brain more than I might have in a larger class. I appreciate him still doing the class for one student!

Discover the Best After Effects Classes in Atlanta

After Effects is the premier digital motion software used by industry professionals in film and video, software and app development, advertising and international business. Since nearly all video and motion graphics are now digital, After Effects is the standard for editing and compositing still and moving images as well as for creating animations and novel 3D content. Once you have a firm knowledge base in the fundamentals of After Effects, the only limitation is your imagination. The software is quite complex, however, so learning it from top to bottom is nearly a lifelong endeavor.

If you're interested in breaking into film, video, social and digital media, advertising, IT and software, or motion graphics and effects design, then a firm grasp of After Effects is likely going to be required. Think of any app you've ever used on a smart device. If it incorporates motion, whether in the interface, the logo, or other text, then someone on the backend probably used After Effects to create it. Indeed the software has become so ubiquitous, you would be hard pressed to find any industry in which it isn't used now with some degree of regularity. 

Many graphic designers and creatives with years of experience are now choosing to learn the fundamentals of After Effects due to its crucial role in a wide range of disciplines and fields. It can supplement an existing practice by providing 3D options for more traditionally 2D-based art forms, or simply provide another way of working on time-tested problems.
