Learn motion graphics and visual effects with Adobe After Effects, render 3D animations using Cinema 4D Lite, and start editing videos with Adobe Premiere Pro. See how the apps work together, as well as the workflow for going from concept, to design, to fully animated graphics. You’ll work on projects to learn the software and the creative techniques/concepts for motion graphics and special effects.

Create animations with After Effects, and add animation to layered Photoshop or Illustrator files, photos and videos.
