This isn’t a beginner course. You’re expected to know your way around the timeline and basic keyframes. From there, we jump straight into the good stuff: compositing realistic smoke, fire, and explosions. You’ll learn how to make a logo animate with purpose, create a moving car scene, and build text that follows a path.

The teaching style is project-based. You’ll work through real-world examples like a green screen composite and a character explainer video. The instructor focuses on workflow efficiency—how to organize your layers, use expressions, and avoid common pitfalls that slow you down.
