After Effects Basic Animation

In this lesson AdobeBridge was introduced. Adobe Bridge can be used to organise, browse and locate assets to create content. To use Adobe Bridge you click choose file and then Browse in Bride, a message will appear on screen where you click yes. A collection of panels, menu's and buttons will appear for you to then find the content you need.
We learnt how to do the drop shadow effect. This effect is done by clicking the clip you want from the compost in and then 'Choose Effect', 'Perspective', 'Drop Shadow' what this effect does is gives the title in the sequence below more of a shadow around it to make it stand out more and look bolder.
After this in the effects tab I used colour emboss on the world what this does is sharpens the edges of the object without suppressing the original colours.
To be able to add Text animations first you need to click your text and move to what point in the timeline you want the effect to begin once there find the effect you want in this clip I used Bullet Train found in Effects - Blurs. Then drag the effect onto the text layer. This will make the title fly into the composition like in the video.
