Adobe After Effects CC Quick Start with Chad Perkins

learn many new things

good thank you

I am watching ad re-watching this. the great part of video is that you can scroll backwards and forwards. And it has to be said: Chad Perkins is a really good teacher!

Does this teacher have a Facebook group so I can ask questions about using the software? Abba Shapiro does, and he has helped quite a bit.

I have been wanting to learn After Effects for over a year to animate certain elements which I then plan to include in a Premiere Pro film project. I had anticipated that the learning curve would be steep and wasted hours trying to figure out the basics of this program thru other online sources & my own trial and error. Hence, I had to to submit the project and take some shortcuts which are barely satisfactory. Fortunately, it was a class assignment and I got an A anyway, although now that the semester is over, I have the luxury of going back, learning properly and perfecting my project. I am so thrilled to be able to learn this way and am only at the 5 lesson.

I bought this over a year ago when it was over $50 and it was still worth every penny then. I'm a videographer that knows Adobe Premier Pro and I wanted to understand After Effects more to make information, figures, stats in videos more engaging. Chad is really enthusiastic, passionate about what he does and he doesn't waffle. After watching this i'm now confident to put this in practise. Highly recommended.

Great way to start learning After Effects. Very clear explanations and easy to follow instructions. Recommended!

After mastering Illustrator, Photoshop, Première Pro, the next challenge is After Effects for motiongraphics and animation. The instructior is engaging and help you build both your skills for the program. But also explains you how to get the most out of the program. It's easier when you know other Adobe Programs already. It's also nice to have projectfiles so you learn by doing.

I really enjoyed this course! As a self-taught After Effects user, this was great if you want to cover the basics and understand the program even more. I also enjoyed Chad's obvious enthusiasm for After Effects and his energy. Definitely felt like I took away some useful tips for my workflow!

If you want to get into learning AE. Watch this video first. I've watched many AE tutorials and I still had many 'why' questions. Chad is great and explaining things and even uses great analogies​ so you understand what is going on. I highly recommend it. Thank you.

Excellent introduction to After Effects. Definitely delivers on being a quick start to the features and capabilities of the software. Chad's passion and enthusiasm really shines through.

Chad is an incredible teacher. He makes what would seem like daunting projects and tasks to the common person become both possible and even simple! He keeps his audience engaged by taping into one's inner child of creativity. Keep your hand hovering over the pause button because this presentation is crammed full of incredible information. Thanks again, Chad and all the folks at CreativeLive in Seattle!
