It was quite difficult to keep up, even though I already have some basic knowledge of After Effects and use the software regularly. There weren’t enough practical examples to give a real sense of what’s possible. I feel that this course wasn’t really suited to someone who uses After Effects just for small projects and for whom it isn’t their main tool of the trade.
