After Effects Compositing, Tracking & Keying Course Online focuses on the visual effects work that makes added elements look like they belong in a shot. You track motion with the Point Tracker and Mocha AE, solve camera movement so 3D elements sit correctly in a scene, and pull clean keys from green-screen footage with Keylight, including spill suppression.

The course also covers rotoscoping for shots that a key can't handle, stabilizing shaky footage, and time remapping. Each technique is applied to composite projects that combine 2D and 3D elements with live-action footage, so you practice the precision that believable effects require.

This training will definitely help my career.
