Week 1 · Refresher & Diagnostic

Refresher & Diagnostic — re-anchor the foundational ten before the advanced track.

In class

A fast, hands-on review of the ten foundational skills — keyframes and easing, masking, track mattes, compositing, motion tracking, rotoscoping, text animation, 3D layers, color correction and expressions — plus a short diagnostic so everyone starts on solid ground. We also set up a clean, reusable project template and folder structure.
