Adobe After Effects has a simple layout that makes it easy to access different tools and functions for creating animations. This course explains how to import videos to the workspace and access additional tools and functions with mouse clicks or keyboard shortcuts. Time manipulation is an essential technique in video editing that involves changing the duration of perceived time flow by compressing or expanding a clip. We will show you how to freeze a frame and stretch, split, speed up or slow down a clip. A keyframe is a point in time that remembers the values of specific properties. We will demonstrate how to use this feature for adding various visual effects to your videos in Adobe After Effects. Do you want to know how they achieved the astral projection effect in the movie ‘Doctor Strange’? We will show you how to isolate a person from the background, merge it with another video and apply different effects to give the illusion of the soul moving out of a body.
