Adobe’s After Effects is, as the name suggests, an industry-standard software for post-production video effects. Incredibly powerful, the program can take a bland piece of homespun video footage and turn it into a Hollywood-worthy finished product. It handles a variety of visual effects, compositing, and animation. It even has a '2.5D' animation tool that provides animation with a 3D look, without needing to learn a 3D program. It can animate a rampaging monster into a video of an innocuous city street just as easily as it can prepare a main title sequence. It comes with a vast library of effects that can be quickly added, ranging from changing the color of an object to filling in a double of an actor so he can play a scene with himself.
The sky truly is the limit with After Effects, which is a whole post-production company in a single program that, with a few keystrokes on a computer, can allow a single person to achieve things a whole post-production company couldn’t back in the days of film.
Mastering After Effects is pretty much mandatory for anyone seeking to have a career in video editing or motion design. It’s an incredibly versatile skill much appreciated by employers across a wide spectrum of industries.
Connecticut’s insurance and financial centers may not seem like fertile ground for video post-production, but every large company needs to produce video content for use in-house or for marketing, so proficiency in After Effects is in-demand, even in the Constitution State.
After Effects opens the door to the world of video editing, post-production, and animation. According to Indeed, video editors in Connecticut average an annual salary of $54,529, while 2D animators average $73,474. In New York City, where so many Connecticut residents work, those figures are $57,684 and $49,265 respectively.
There is a definite shortage of live and in-person classes in After Effects in Connecticut. A commute from most parts of the state to New York City is possible, however, and a variety of courses in the software are available in Midtown Manhattan.
Among the options for After Effects training in New York are Future Media Concepts and Noble Desktop, the creator of this tool. They offer classroom instruction with live teachers able to interact directly with students. These schools may not be ideally convenient from Connecticut, but those looking for in-person training will find them worth the journey.
Learning After Effects in a live online class offers a combination of convenience and effectiveness unmatched by any other teaching modality. Students can study in the privacy and comfort of their own homes (or anywhere else, for that matter) and still be able to ask the teacher questions in real-time. The teacher can even check students’ screens to ensure they’re following the material being taught.
The creator of this tool, Noble Desktop, offers live online After Effects classes. The After Effects Level 1 class takes users from the basics of the program through to some of its more sophisticated capabilities (note that knowledge of Adobe’s Photoshop is a prerequisite for the course.) For those committed to a career in the field, the Motion Graphics Certificate program will definitely be of interest. In 72 hours of instruction, the program gives students firm grasps on both After Effects and Premiere Pro, Adobe’s video-editing program. That makes it possible to take a project from concept to fully animated motion graphics. The course includes the production of a demo reel to showcase your new skills.
For more options, After Effects courses are also available from NYIM Training.
Given the proximity of New York City to much of the state of Connecticut, some residents of the latter may well be interested in taking Noble’s classes live and in-person at their Manhattan campus.
