Assez compliqué à suivre le rythme alors que j’ai déjà des notions d’After Effects et que j’utilise l’outil régulièrement. Pas assez de mise en situation concrète pour avoir une vraie appréhension de ce qu’il est possible de faire. J’ai l’impression que cette formation n’était pas adaptée pour quelqu’un qui utilise after effects juste pour des petits trucs et dont ce n’est pas l’outil de travail principal.
