How to look at the level of AE special effects in China

If you want to learn systematically, you can consider signing up for a live online class, and recommend CGWANG's online class. The teacher speaks carefully, you can watch it back after the class, and there are also the same type of recorded classes that you can learn for free (give away lifelong VIP).

Among the training institutions in the field of "C4D AE Film and Television Post-Packaging", [Wang's Education] is the leader in China, and there is no branch school, and it is a chain campus directly operated by the headquarters. Different from many other large institutions of the same type: each campus of Wang's Education is physically face-to-face, the teachers are hand-in-hand, and there are special class teachers from morning to night, and the liver-bursting learning mode will improve quickly, especially suitable for students with poor foundation.

Templates often use plug-ins that you don't install.,There are thousands of plug-ins in AE.,It's impossible to install them all.,When you open the template.,No.、The installed plug-ins will be prompted in the program.,My personal opinion is that the template stuff shouldn't be used at all.,Some things,You just throw it away.,Or think about modifying it yourself.,Otherwise, it's a waste of time.。

Transitions: Can be used to make smooth transitions between different scenes, including fades, switches, flashes, and more.

Animation effects: It can be used to create various types of animations, including text animation, graphic animation, etc.

3D effects: can be used to create realistic 3D scenes, 3D fonts, etc.

Lens effect remorse: It can be used to simulate various types of lens effects, such as fisheye lenses, anamorphic lenses, etc.

Audio effects: Can be used to add audio effects, such as echo, reverb, volume balance, and more.

The above are just some of the common special effects, in fact, After Effects also provides many other special effects, you can choose the one that suits you according to your needs.

AE is mainly 2D software, and some plug-ins can do 3D effects. Powerful in the 2D field. Mainly for film and television post-production. Do you know the filter of PS, AE can make all the filters move. The simple point is dynamic PS.

Yes, such as particles, rays, thunderbolts, rays like Ultraman, and interdimensional space are all made by special effects software like AE.

First of all, it is necessary to understand that AE is a compositing software, and of course some simple special effects can also be implemented. As for what are special effects (mainly referring to visual effects), the special effects of Guangpi Gaoyi refer to a series of well-known three-dimensional, compositing, digital scenery painting and a series of visual effects generated by post-production software, which do not exist in life and cannot be achieved by normal shooting (some movies will also use special collapse grip effect to simulate normal shooting in order to save costs). For people in the film and television or game industry, special effects mainly refer to computer-simulated fire, fire, **, cloth, fluid, collision, etc., such as the smoke, fire, ** in "Mad Max 4", the mainstream software in the industry is Houdini, Maya, C4D can also do it, but it is not as powerful as Houdini.

AE is mostly used with C4D for columns or film and television packaging, such as the opening of various TV programs, movie promotional videos, openings, etc., and can also be used as a synthesis of small projects. The mainstream of synthesis for large projects is to use Nuke, after all, node-based operations are much more convenient than AE, (AE will be more comfortable for small projects). Of course, there are no absolutes, and the Datuansen project made with AE and C4D is not nothing, and it is the mainstream in the industry.

To sum up, there is no best or worst so-called special effects software, each software is good at different fields, and large projects are generally a combination of many software, depending on the company's production process.
