The students will be working on Ch. 5 ” Animating a Multimedia Presentation” and Ch. 6 “Animating Layers”.  In Ch. 5, the students will learn to create a complex animation with multiple layers; adjust the duration of a layer; animate with Position, Scale, and Rotation keyframes; use parenting to sync the animation of layers; use Bezier curves to smooth a motion path; animate a precomposed layer; apply effects to a solid layer; and fade out audio. In Ch. 6, the students will learn to animate a layered Adobe Photoshop file, create an expression using the pick whip, work with imported Photoshop layer styles, apply a track matte to control the visibility of layers, animate a layer using the Corner Pin effect, apply the Lens Flare effect to a solid layer, use time remapping and the Layer panel to dynamically retime footage, and edit Time Remap keyframes in the Graphic Editor.

TEKS – 1A-B, 2A-G, 3, 4, 5, 6A-C, 7A-D, 8A-D, 9A-G, 10, 11A-E, 12A-F, 13A-D, 14A-J

The students will be working on Ch. 1 “Getting to Know the Workflow” and Ch. 2 ” Creating a Basic Animation Using Effects and Presets”. In Ch. 1, the students will learn to create a project and import footage; create compositions and arrange layers; navigate the Adobe After Effects interface; use the Project, Composition, and Timeline panels; transform layer properties; apply basic effects; create keyframes; preview work; customize the workspace; adjust preferences related to the user interface; and find additional resources for using After Effects. In Ch. 2, the students will learn to use Adobe Bridge to preview and import footage items, work with layers of an imported Adobe Illustrator file, use guides to position objects, apply drop-shadow and emboss effects, apply a text animation preset, adjust the time range of a text animation preset, precompose layers, apply a dissolve transition effect, adjust the transparency of a layer, and render an animation for broadcast use.
