AE, or Adobe After Effects, is a professional post-processing software widely used in film, television, advertising, animation and other fields. For beginners, the difficulty and learning time of AE varies from individual to individual, but overall, AE is not an easy software to use. Here are some of my thoughts and experiences on the difficulty and time of learning at AE.
First of all, AE is relatively difficult to learn. AE has a large number of functions and tools, involving image processing, animation design, audio processing, special effects production and other aspects, and the software interface and operation methods also have a certain learning threshold. In addition, AE also has a certain degree of professionalism and technology, which requires certain basic computer knowledge and aesthetic literacy, which is one of the reasons why AE is difficult to learn.
However, although AE is difficult to learn, as long as learners have certain basic knowledge and patience, they can still master the basic operations and skills of AE through continuous learning and practice. For beginners, it is recommended to start with the basic knowledge of AE, understand the basic interface, tools and functions of the software, and gradually master the basic operation and skills of AE. At the same time, you can also deepen your understanding and mastery of AE through **teaching**, reading tutorial books, participating in training courses, etc.
As for the study time of AE, it varies from person to person. For learners with a certain computer foundation and aesthetic literacy, it can take weeks to months to master the basic operations and skills of AE. However, to become proficient in AE and become a professional post-processor, it takes longer to learn and practice. In addition, the learning of AE also needs to be constantly updated and deepened, and with the continuous upgrading and updating of software, learners also need to constantly learn and master new skills and features.
In this regard, I recommend a few methods:
Painter Scholar
The popular CG online course platform in China (most of which is free) swept the entire CG circle when the APP was first released in 2015 and became a must-have app for self-learning white prostitution parties.
Goo
CG recruitment and CG live classes are both strong enterprises, and the cost performance is higher, and there is also a scholarship system, and the top students can also get tuition refunds after school.
Zhima teaching
The industry awareness is relatively high, and a large number of professional first-class tutorials have been accumulated over the years. The interaction between new and old students on the platform is very strong, and the students' homework and teachers' cases are publicly displayed, and there is the kind of strength that is not hidden.
In the process of learning AE, learners also need to pay attention to the following points. First of all, we should pay attention to practice, try more hands-on, and deepen the understanding and mastery of AE through practice. Secondly, you should be good at summarizing and summarizing, and organize the experience and skills in the learning process into notes or tutorials for later reference and learning. Finally, it is necessary to maintain the continuity and enthusiasm for learning, continue to learn and explore new skills and functions, and constantly improve their professional level and comprehensive quality.
In addition to the above points, learners can also improve their learning efficiency and skill level through communication and collaboration with other AE learners. You can join AE's learning community or forum to share experiences, exchange ideas, and solve problems with other learners, or you can exercise your practical ability and creativity by participating in some AE projects or competitions.
In short, AE is a powerful but difficult to learn professional ** post-processing software. In order to master the basic operation and skills of AE, it is necessary to have a certain computer foundation and aesthetic literacy, as well as patience and continuous learning and practice. Through continuous learning and practice, learners can gradually improve their AE skill level and become a professional post-processor.
