An Intro to Adobe Premiere and After Effects

This course will teach you how to use Adobe Premiere and help you to learn After effects to create a title sequence for popular serial dramas like The Walking Dead. We model the course content on the popular AMC show, The Walking Dead, as it covers a lot of the fundamentals that go into creating great title sequences.

Not only will we look at the technical aspects of using these great pieces of software, we’ll also look at a whole load of other areas, like; the basics of editing, the do’s and don’ts of these kind of projects, how to edit to music, crossing between Premiere and After Effects to leverage the best of both programs, stabilizing your footage, color correction, 3D Camera tracking and all sorts of other great things to hopefully give you the tools to make your own title sequence and to learn about the workflow between Adobe Premiere and Adobe After Effects.

By the end of this course you will know how to create our example title sequence and you’ll be able to apply the new and awesome skills you’ve learned to your own project.
