The basics of AE include layers, blending modes, keyframe animation, time remapping, tracking effects, keyframe interpolation, expressions, and more. In addition, some knowledge of software operation and plug-in installation is required.
As for which AE or C4D is difficult to learn, it depends on the individual's learning goals and needs. C4D (Cinema 4D) is a professional 3D animation software, and its features and tools are more complex and diverse than AE, so the learning curve can be steeper. For those who want to learn 3D animation and modeling, C4D can be more difficult. But for those who want to learn digital editing and special effects production, AE can be even more challenging.
If you want to improve your professional and technical skills, I recommend signing up for a training course.
I have listed the relatively reliable vocational schools in the industry, and you can compare them before choosing
Wang's Education
There are many campuses in this institution, and the recognition in the industry is relatively high, and the teaching history should be more than 20 years, and many technical workers who are currently active in the animation game and film and television circles are mostly familiar with this brand, and a large part of them have graduated from here.
cgwang
The teaching mode of on-site face-to-face teaching by teachers + on-site recording and playback + after-class dual-teacher tutoring. There are 13 campuses, all of which are directly operated and all of them are taught face-to-face in small classes. For those who are not self-disciplined and have average learning ability, you can consider going to this branch school to try out.
Painter Scholar
Although this is a live online course platform, the number of free ** tutorials on the platform far exceeds that of its peers. Online classes also give away lifelong VIP, VIP users can learn for free for a fee, and the cost performance is particularly high.
Goo
Vocational education is an institution that truly connects the closed loop of education and entry, so it is reasonable to have a reputation.
As to whether AE can be used to explain the Duningkruger effect, the answer to this question is no. The Duningkruger effect is a psychological phenomenon in which people may focus too much on their performance to objectively assess their abilities and outcomes in the process of completing a task or achieving a goal. AE is a digital editing software, and the two are completely different fields, so AE cannot be used to explain the Dunin-Kruger effect.
To sum up, learning AE requires mastering certain basic knowledge and being familiar with its interface and tools. C4D and AE each have their own complexities and learning curves, and which software to choose depends on the individual's needs and learning goals. At the same time, it is also necessary to understand the meaning and application areas of different theories and effects in order to better understand their real-life implications.
