After Effects

To be able to finish this course we recommend installing the latest version of After Effects (for now it’s CC 2018). If there is no such possibility, then please double check that you have at least CC version of it. You can always install the trial version from official Adobe Website.

Important:

It is very important to hit Complete and Continue button after you finished the lesson. First, you will know what lectures you've finished and second, we will know how are you doing :)

If you will get tired of hitting that button, just trigger Autocomplete slider in the top left corner in the settings tab.

Course will constantly update so keep coming back to uncover new lectures.

We recommend going for Advanced home tasks only after you finish the course.

Support:

The first line of support is our online live chat in the bottom right corner, and you've probably seen Anastasia message by now. You can ask any course-related questions and we will do our best to respond as soon as possible (keep in mind the time zones difference).

The second line of support would be the comments section underneath each lecture. If you think that you've repeated video to the very last detail and have read every line of text in lecture but you still struggling to go through than you can describe your problem in the comments section underneath the video.

In any case we highly recommend attaching GIF's from your screen recording to showcase the problem that you've encountered. To do that try using Giphy Capture on Mac or ScreentoGif on Windows.
