After Effects Basic animation

In this lesson of after effects AdobeBridge was introduced. Adobe Bridge can be used to organise and locate different effects and presets. To use adobe bridge you can double click the app at the bottom of the screen, or you can then choose a file and click browse in bridge, a message then appears on the screen where you will click yes so you can view any content from AE.
We where told to have a look around. We learnt how to do the drop shadow effect. This effect is done by clicking the clip you want from the compost, then choose 'chose effect', 'perspective', 'Drop shadow' what this effect does is it gives the title in the sequence a shadow is added around it to make it look bold and stand out more. After this in the effects tab we where told to use colour emboss on the word what this does is sharpens the edges of the object without losing the original colours.
With adding effects to text you need to place the timeline cursor in the right place and this is were the effect will start.
