After Effects

After Effects is a tool that’s used to create animation and motion graphics effects. Unlike Adobe Premiere Pro, which is more focused on video editing, After Effects is designed to help create all the cool extras that make your motion graphics shine. It’s used by a variety of creative professionals for film, TV, and video for websites and social media.

AE01-Demo1

First video using After Effects, it's similar to Premiere Pro with more effects for us to use while editing. I liked using the mirror effect on the forest background as it blurs out.

AE02-Blinker

For this video we used an image of a car then added in shapes over the headlights, changing the mode to overlay and adjusting the color along with another effect to make it seem like the cars lights were turning on. We added keyframes for the blinking effect, then we added in text with animation for it as well.

Using what we learned making the last video with the blinking car lights we had to make our own, so I did it as a house that's haunted and all the lights are flickering. I made sure to add another layer of the effect and change to opacity so that the 2 lights on the left extend down more at a lighter color.
