First time using After Effect

In today exercise, our lecturer, Mr Hafiz, teach us how to use After Effect. Since this is the first time we use After Effect, some of us is a little bit confuse, some of us learn it very fast. As for me, I still need to practice a little bit more. It is not hard actually, but since there are so many option, even more then photoshop, it will somehow confuse people.

Our lecturer give us a lego psd file for exercise, he want us to import it to after effect. A quick way to import is by clicking the side box (shown in the red box)

After that, pull the file to the bottom, and the picture will show in the white box

At the bottom, the right box is the timeline, we can edit the time line for each layer so they can show up/vanish following the time.

Notice the image slowly appear when the time advance.

He also teach us how to use the "position", it can make the image moving around, like an animation.
