    Going into this, I was so intimidated by After Effects, but this course made me feel at ease and confident enough to start learning more. What I appreciated the most about this training was the pacing throughout. Mark did a fantastic job explaining each step clearly and effectively. I would 100% suggest this course to anyone out there like me who is intimidated from the complexity of After Effects. After completing this course, I no longer feel intimidated but motivated to practice and apply these fundamentals to future projects. After Effects is a useful tool and I am excited to elevate my content with what I learned from the course.
