Audio/Video Production

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.
