Enhance Your Learning with Adobe After Effects Flash Cards for quick learning
A digital visual effects, motion graphics, and compositing software developed by Adobe Systems, used in the post-production process of filmmaking and television production.
A container that holds layers, allowing you to combine multiple visual elements to create a final video or animation.
A graphical representation of your composition, displaying layers and keyframes over time, allowing you to control the timing and duration of your animation.
A marker that defines a specific value or property at a specific point in time, used to create animation by defining the starting and ending states of an element.
A shape that defines the visible area of a layer, allowing you to selectively show or hide parts of the layer.
A layer that controls the visibility of another layer based on its alpha channel, allowing you to create complex compositing effects.
The process of combining multiple layers into a single composition, allowing you to treat them as a single unit and apply effects or transformations to them.
The process of linking one layer to another, allowing the parent layer to control the position, scale, rotation, and other properties of the child layer.
A scripting language in After Effects that allows you to create dynamic animations by linking properties and using mathematical functions.
A panel in After Effects where you can add compositions to be rendered, specifying output settings and exporting the final video or animation.
The process of analyzing the movement of a specific point or object in a video clip, allowing you to apply that motion to another element in your composition.
Pre-built visual and audio effects that can be applied to layers, allowing you to enhance or modify the appearance or behavior of your elements.
The process of manually tracing or masking a specific object or subject in a video clip, allowing you to isolate it and apply effects or modifications.
A type of curve used to define the path of motion between keyframes, allowing for smooth and natural animation.
An invisible layer that can be used as a control point or reference for other layers, allowing you to easily manipulate multiple elements together.
A channel in an image or video that represents the transparency or opacity of each pixel, allowing you to composite multiple layers together.
The process of selectively hiding or revealing parts of a layer using a mask, allowing you to create complex visual effects or isolate specific areas.
The process of removing a specific color or range of colors from a video clip, allowing you to replace or composite the background.
A visual effect that simulates the blurring of moving objects, adding realism and smoothness to your animations.
A panel in After Effects where you can preview and interact with your composition, allowing you to see how your animation will look in real-time.
A property that controls the transparency or visibility of a layer, allowing you to fade in or out elements over time.
A property that defines the center or pivot point of a layer, allowing you to rotate or scale it around a specific point.
Layers in After Effects that contain vector-based shapes, allowing you to create and animate custom shapes or icons.
A visual representation of the frequency and amplitude of an audio waveform, allowing you to create dynamic audio-reactive animations.
The process of changing the speed or timing of a video clip, allowing you to create slow-motion or time-lapse effects.
An expression in After Effects that generates random motion or fluctuations, allowing you to create natural or chaotic animations.
A tool in After Effects that analyzes a video clip and creates a virtual camera, allowing you to place 3D elements into the scene.
Pre-built effects that can be applied to layers, allowing you to add shadows, glows, bevels, and other visual enhancements.
A type of keyframe interpolation that creates smooth motion by automatically adjusting the speed and acceleration of an animation.
The process of repeating a specific animation or sequence, allowing you to create seamless and continuous motion.
Customizable controls in After Effects that allow you to adjust specific parameters or values of an expression, providing flexibility and interactivity.
Visual elements or animations used to enhance storytelling or convey information, often used in commercials, title sequences, and promotional videos.
Options and configurations that determine the quality, format, and output settings of your final rendered video or animation.
Control points on a Bezier curve that define the shape and direction of the curve, allowing you to create smooth and precise motion paths.
Options that control how layers interact and blend with each other, allowing you to create various visual effects and compositing techniques.
The process of reducing or eliminating unwanted camera movement or shakiness in a video clip, allowing for smoother and more stable footage.
A system for labeling and tracking specific points in time within a video or audio clip, allowing for precise editing and synchronization.
A visual representation of the trajectory or movement of an object in a composition, allowing you to animate elements along a specific path.
