After effects lesson 2

This lesson helped us to remember and practice some of the skills we learnt in the last lesson.
We set up a new composition and imported footage. We also worked with layers and with file types such as Adobe Illustrator.
We then used effects such as drop-shadow, emboss, and other animation presets.
We then adjusted the time of the animation preset and pre-composed the layers.
We then added a dissolve transition effect and adjusted the transparency of a layer. As there are different types of viewing, we were taught to render the animation for broadcast use.
