Adobe After Effects Training

So you need software training? Well, you have definitely come to the right place. Blackhawk Design & Media has been teaching graphics and animation for many years, to companies and individuals the world over.

Having worked in many executive positions for major pro audio companies, as a graphic designer, web designer and photographer for over 20 years. Craig has the knowledge and understanding of not only the software he teaches, but also the techniques he imparts - a technique he willingly shares in 1 - 1 and small group seminars. He provides completely customizable teaching to suit your needs. Classrooms and video tutorials are one way to learn software, but most definitely not the best way.

Concentration, pace and covering the topics that are important to the client and their specific work needs, really do matter - especially when it comes to value for money.

That's why only 1-1 or small group on-site teaching is provided, on a day that suits your schedule. The hundreds of people who have been taught in the last decade or so, have all stated a clear enjoyment of the sessions, and more importantly, a huge amount of knowledge retained.

And that's what teaching is all about.

Innovative compositing and animation tools
Create high-impact communications by combining moving imagery, still images and graphics, text, and sound in 2D or 3D space and then animating virtually any aspect of each element.

Unmatched Adobe integration
Enjoy a streamlined workflow with support for importing Adobe® Photoshop® images that include video layers as well as Adobe Illustrator® graphics that maintain image integrity. Move easily between After Effects and Adobe Premiere® Pro CS5 or Encore® CS5 software, and share animations easily with Adobe Flash® CS5 Professional software.


Text and vector graphics creation and animation
Create text and vector graphics in After Effects using familiar Adobe tools, and then animate these elements to create visually innovative new motion graphics.

Extensive visual effects
Manipulate moving and still images using hundreds of effects such as stylize, distort, and shatter. Create grids, radio waves, 3D particles, film grain, fractal noise, and more.

Timesaving tools
Start projects quickly with animation presets and behaviors when creating common animation elements, such as animating text in and out, creating synthetic backgrounds, and more. Use new Brainstorm to quickly experiment and refine designs using parameters you define. Learn fast with Tool Tips and training resources in the box and on the web, and streamline your review process with Adobe Clip Notes to create and import comments.

Comprehensive masking and keying tools
Control which portions of a layer are visible by importing, manipulating, and animating masks. Flexible auto-tracing options and RotoBezier masks make it easy to get precise results. Key bluescreen and greenscreen mattes with the Academy Award-winning Keylight and a host of supporting tools.

Powerful motion controls
Animate graphics and text using the Puppet tool. Apply motion blur to produce more realistic animations, or use Timewarp to slow down and speed up footage. Precisely match the motion of source footage using Motion Tracker, and get the look of a locked-off shot using Motion Stabilizer.

Enhanced performance
Harness your computer’s processing power with new multicore and graphics acceleration plus disk caching so you can spend less time waiting and more time creating. Distribute rendering across your entire network to maximize output performance.

Professional results for every media type
Compatibility with an extensive list of output formats lets you produce animated content for virtually any media, from the web and mobile devices to film and broadcast. Plus, After Effects CS5 Professional introduces color management tools to help make the color-correction process more predictable and preserve color fidelity.

High-fidelity color
Use standard color management tools with enhancements for film and video workflows.

and so it goes...

There's no present. There's only the immediate future and the recent past.
