Introduction

• Adobe After Effects is a digital visual effects, motion graphics, and

compositing application developed by Adobe Systems and used in the post-

production process of film making and television production. Among other

things, After Effects can be used for keying, tracking, compositing, and

animation. It also functions as a very basic non-linear editor, audio editor,

and media transcoder. In 2019, the program won an Academy Award forscientific and technical achievement.

Uses

• Visual effects

Visual effects (abbreviated VFX) is the process by which imagery is created ormanipulated outside the context of a live action shot in filmmaking.

Visual effects involve the integration of live action footage (special effects) andgenerated imagery (digital or optical effects) to create environments, inanimate objects,animals or creatures which look realistic, but would be dangerous, expensive,impractical, time consuming or impossible to capture on film. Visual effects usingcomputer-generated imagery (CGI) have recently become accessible to theindependent filmmaker with the introduction of affordable and easy-to-use animationand compositing software.

Uses

• Motion graphics

• Motion graphics are pieces of animation or digital footage which

create the illusion of motion or rotation, and are usually combined

with audio for use in multimedia projects. Motion graphics are

usually displayed via electronic media technology, but may also be

displayed via manual powered technology (e.g. thaumatrope,

phenakistoscope, stroboscope, zoetrope, praxinoscope, flip book).

Uses

• Compositing

• Compositing (in general) is the art of combining cgi with real

footage to make a realistic scene. It can be done in various

softwares like After Effects, Nuke Studio, etc.

• Compositing includes creating shadows, matching lighting, colour

correction, etc.
