Before taking this course, students should be familiar with the basic functions of their computer's operating system such as creating folders, launching programs, and working with windows. Students should also have basic Windows application skills, such as copying and pasting objects, formatting text, saving files, etc. Students typically have experience using a video editing application such as Adobe Premiere or Apple Final Cut Pro, as well as at least basic experience in graphics applications such as Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.
A person who wishes to work in the video field or who currently works in the field, or an Adobe application user looking to expand his or her skills, looking to add effects to video projects. Some students may be mainly interested in creating video primarily for the Web, and others for film, but the majority are preparing more for work in broadcast video.
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
create a composition with media clips that play in sequence.
create motion and animated effects to overlaying media elements.
control the sequence and duration of footage items and nested compositions within a composition.
create transparency in layers with track mattes, masks, and stencils.
render a project as a single file with settings you choose.
