Attendees will learn practical knowledge to help animate titles and graphics, track elements, and remove unwanted objects in footage. Next comes an interesting class by Eran Stern on Using After Effects to Animate AI Images. Learn how to add realistic elements (like weather effects), use expressions to control the animation, and integrate AI video tools with native 3D models in AE.
