Lesson 1 • Transitions and Motion Effects

Applies video transitions and keyframe-based motion effects to enhance storytelling. Builds on timeline skills to add visual polish and pacing control.

Lesson 2 • Premiere Pro Project Setup

Introduces sequence settings, media ingestion, and project organisation for efficient editing. Correct setup prevents technical issues throughout post-production.

Lesson 3 • Colour Grading with Lumetri

Uses Lumetri Colour panel for exposure correction, colour grading, and LUT application. Produces visually consistent footage across an entire project.

Lesson 4 • Timeline Editing Techniques

Covers cut, trim, ripple, and roll edits for precise clip assembly on the timeline. These core editing operations form the backbone of all video projects.

Lesson 5 • Export and Media Encoding

Demonstrates Media Encoder presets for web, broadcast, and social media delivery. Connects editing skills to final deliverable production.

Lesson 1 • Keyframe Animation Principles

Applies position, scale, rotation, and opacity keyframes with easing for smooth motion. Directly translates animation principles into After Effects workflows.

Lesson 2 • Visual Effects and Compositing

Applies keying, tracking, and blending modes for VFX compositing over live footage. Extends Photoshop compositing knowledge into the motion domain.

Lesson 3 • Shape Layers and Motion Graphics

Builds animated infographics and lower thirds using shape layers and the Repeater operator. Produces reusable motion graphics elements for broadcast use.

Lesson 4 • After Effects Interface and Compositions

Introduces the composition panel, timeline, and layer types unique to After Effects. Establishes the structural foundation for all animation work.

Lesson 1 • Prototyping and Interactions

Connects artboards with triggers, transitions, and overlays to simulate user flows. Transforms static designs into testable interactive prototypes.

Lesson 2 • Sharing, Testing, and Handoff

Publishes prototypes for stakeholder review and generates developer specs via share links. Completes the design-to-development handoff cycle.

Lesson 3 • UI Component Design

Builds buttons, forms, navigation bars, and cards using XD's vector and text tools. Produces the reusable UI elements that populate all screens.

Lesson 4 • XD Workspace and Artboard Setup
