Adobe After Effects

by  • 

In the article I recently read it give easy steps on how to use Adobe After Effects.  Adobe After Effects is a editing program in which you use to add effects to the film that has recently been filmed. It is used to produce motion graphics.

In the tutorial, it talks about 12 basic steps you need to take to be able to make a special effect of some sort in your movie. With this editing program you’re able to produce a great piece of work without having to edit each object. Say

you have a flock of birds. In other editing softwares you would need to animate each bird but with Adobe you only have to animate one to make it work.

This is a great software to use, it was very easy to learn and works great. I suggest this software to other people trying to animate things. I have had the opportunity to use Adobe and it was very easy to get used to.

If you consider factors like character development, music and editing decisions. No matter which documentary genre you’re interested in, there are plenty of sources to learn from. By examining different types and styles of documentaries, you’ll find a storytelling technique that works for you.
