it's very helpful for beginner
Excellent course
There is a typing error in question "To blue the edges of a mask, what would you do?" in quiz of Chapter 2. May I ask you to correct it to "To blur the edges of a mask, what would you do?" because correct answer is to change value of feather mask property.
There is a wrong name of Chapter 9 in course. It is "Chapter 9: Green Screen (Chromakeying) but lessons relate to 3D animation in this chapter.
Further. When I continued the course I realised that chapter names after Chapter 9 do not correspond to lessons in it. It is probably shifted.
The Best course for all After Effect's learners. You will learn a lot from just one place. I have not enough words to say Thanks to Phill Ebiner for a clear explanation of all the basics and tools. That is a course for beginners, and after this course, you will be ready to explore After Effects further your self and create next-level animation.
