Questions

FAQ

Do I need to complete Part 1 first?+

Strongly recommended. Part 2 assumes comfort with basic cutting, timelines and export — it focuses on animation and compositing, not editing fundamentals.

Which After Effects version should I use?+

Any recent Creative Cloud release works. Element 3D and some AI-assisted features in Module 06 benefit from the latest version.

Are the plugins mandatory?+

No. Modules 01–03 use only stock After Effects. Plugins like Element 3D and Trapcode Suite are only needed for the advanced 3D and particle lessons in Module 04.

Is this beginner-friendly?+

Yes — Module 01 starts from the interface itself. By Module 08 you'll be building a client-ready showreel.

How long does the full track take?+

Self-paced. Most learners complete all 40 lessons in 6–10 weeks at a few sessions per week, including practice time.
