What level should I start at?

Instructors can remote into students’ computers (with prior permission) to assist with class exercises and any technical issues. The courses are hands-on and interactive like in-person training.

You can attend the course from your own home or office. This option works best for those without easy access to a nearby facility, and it has become increasingly popular during COVID-19. Here are 1 of the best live online After Effects classes we found:

Learn More About Tampa After Effects Training

After Effects is a software application frequently used when working with animation for video post-production. Because it is part of the Adobe suite of applications, it’s a standard tool used by professionals that easily integrates with other software programs.

Adobe’s After Effects is favored for its versatility and ability to create different forms of media. This software enables the user to take a static design and animate it using keyframes and expression controls. It is highly acclaimed for its expansive library of visual effects and produces professional-grade 3D results. The Keylight tool, in particular, is one of the most attractive ways to quickly and effectively clean up and apply green screen footage to projects. After Effects has a multitude of fine-tuning controls to provide the perfect compositing effect.

With After Effects, it’s possible to add lightning to footage, change the color of an object, and create other special effects like fireworks and smoke. After Effects also includes 2.5D, an application that can transform static objects into 3D. When combined with other Adobe apps, such as Premiere Pro, it produces Hollywood-quality videos. From popular television shows to movies, YouTube videos, and social media content, After Effects’ results shine across media outlets.

After Effects Careers in Tampa

Securing strong skills in After Effects is a necessity for a career in motion graphics and video editing. Combined with training in several of Adobe’s applications, along with a robust portfolio, it’s possible to get a foot in the door for a career in video editing and motion graphics jobs reasonably quickly.

Working as an animator frequently means working interdepartmentally to put together a cohesive story or project. Communicating with those in multiple different roles and departments is an integral part of being a good designer or editor.

Competence in video editing and motion graphics can be achieved with patience and concentration. Video editing projects involve cutting and adding effects repeatedly over months, and motion graphics professionals often take weeks to complete one relatively small task. Therefore, patience is one of the most important traits for these careers.

Film Tampa Bay is an excellent resource for anyone in the video or motion graphics field. The group strives to provide anyone in film careers or starting a career in motion graphics and video editing to find the support they need on one website. All resources are provided for free. Film Tampa Bay boasts a multitude of reasons for those in creative fields to live and work in the area. There are many options for creative inspiration, such as Tampa’s swamplands, rural farms, vibrant cityscapes, strawberry fields, beaches, and the primary feature: the Port of Tampa. The list continues, but the diversity offered in Tampa is enough for a lifetime.

Salaries for those in motion design-related positions pay well, with averages ranging from Video Editors, who have an annual salary of $42,000, to Motion Graphics Designers, who can expect earnings between $50,000 and $68,000.

In-Person After Effects Classes in Tampa

In-person classes are a great choice for those who benefit from learning in a physical classroom amongst other learners. In-person After Effects classes in Tampa are taught by Certstaffix. This top-rated school provides a computer lab for students to attend class, while an off-site instructor teaches the tricks and tips of the application. Classes are live, and students can have their questions answered in real-time.

Certstaffix offers an Adobe After Effects CC class, allowing students to learn techniques for delivering the widest possible range of media types. By the end of the course, students will create, manipulate and optimize motion graphics for film, video, the internet, and mobile devices. Tracking and syncing content, rotoscoping, removing unwanted objects, and correcting color are also part of this class.

Virtual After Effects Classes

Learning After Effects from the convenience of any location the student desires is a benefit of taking virtual After Effects courses. Students have their questions answered in real-time in these live classes and can share their computer screen with the instructor if they’d like. Many students report that it’s easier to learn in a distraction-free environment. It’s possible to share computer screens with the instructor if the student chooses.

Noble Desktop, the creator of this tool, offers several classes. The After Effects Level 1 class shows students how to use professional techniques with animations, titles, 3D objects, motion tracking, and particle effects. This course has a prerequisite, strongly suggesting that students have a working knowledge of Adobe Photoshop. Photoshop in a Day or a Photoshop Bootcamp can bring students up to speed and ready to take an After Effects class.

In the Motion Graphics Certificate, students use After Effects for motion graphics and Premiere Pro for video editing. Students see how well these programs work together so they can take projects from concept to design with fully animated motion graphics.
