Animation Designing Course

After Effects is the go-to Adobe application for creating both simple and complex animations. However, for those users that either don't have the time to learn an entire new application or simply don't own a copy of After Effects, Photoshop has incorporated very similar, albeit scaled back, functionality. The Animation Designing Course is designed to teach animation and video rotoscoping techniques to create powerful multimedia projects ranging from laughably simple (think stick figures waving) to more sophisticated and complex. So, if you are interested to become an animator and want to learn to create stunning animations and video/animation combos, you shouldn't miss the chance to grab this course.

This is a great course for those already familiar with Photoshop but who have never used it to do anything with animation or video before.

This course is also useful for multimedia artists, animators, and video editors who have never tried adding Photoshop to their tool belt.

Beginners and novices to Photoshop can also benefit from this course as you are walked through the entire process of animating over video step by step.
