After Effects Advanced training - pricing details on application
Advanced After Effects training uk
Adobe After Effects is a very large and powerful motion graphics application. With extra primary features added with each version it has become increasingly difficult to offer a short introductory course, while providing the full feature detail required to meet specific users' needs.
Advanced After Effects Training Course Objectives
Our solution to this is to offer a two day core course, plus additional half-day modules on more advanced topics. Extra days may then be added in accordance with clients' requirements. Choosing all six modules provides an exhaustive, five day course. Each of these modules can also be booked seperately.
