How do I start editing After Effects
Editing in AE is really very time consuming. But calling it boring… that's taking it a bit too far.
What really consumes time in AE is that for simple transition or animation or effects to happen, you have to tweak many settings and conditions. Also there’s a lot of room for hit and trial which creates endless possibilities and makes, getting your desired effect, harder.
But that’s the beauty of it.
There are so many aspects, properties and functions attributed to each element in a video in AE that you will always stumble upon something new every-time you sit and start your workflow.
Take for example the effect “Fractal Noise”
There so many types already preset in it
Then you can change the evolution that has 360 different kinds in one go, and also tweaking the contrast and brightness would give you multiple sets of results.
What really keeps it away from boring is, you are always one click away from unearthing something so cool that you are gonna stare on your own work and cannot believe you actually did that.
Now coming to the point of “How do you start editing in After Effects?”
I’ll tell you how I learnt the basics.
