In this course, Trish and Chris Meyer introduce a series of creative tools inside After Effects. The centerpiece is Paint, where Trish demonstrates how to use the Brush, Eraser, and Clone Stamp tools to draw on a layer, remove portions of it, or repeat elements around a composition. These tools can be used for artistic purposes as well as to repair problem areas in footage. Chris shows off the Puppet tools for distorting layers, Brainstorm to break through creative blocks, and the Cartoon effect to lend an illustrative look to live footage or 3D renders. The After Effects Apprentice videos on lynda.com were created by Trish and Chris Meyer and are designed to be used on their own and as a companion to their book After Effects Apprentice.
Topics include: * Creating, erasing, and animating brush and clone strokes * Using Paint to reveal a layer over time * Creating animated distortions to flat artwork with the Puppet tools * Employing Brainstorm to explore complex effects and alter keyframed animations * Getting the most out of the Cartoon effect, including pre- and post-processing
