Augmented Reality
HD VIDEO COURSE | 90 MINUTES | 3 BONUSES
Create stunning Augmented Reality UI animations by combining video footage with your design source files using Adobe After Effects. Learn how to track objects in your footage with planar and 3D trackers, add your graphics to a scene, add your UI design to a device in a shot, use ‘in camera’ depth of field, how to do a quick composite, and color grade your footage using a beautiful ‘split tone’ effect for final presentation.
✓ Learn to place your UX/UI designs into moving video
✓ Learn how to stick your design to any surface in your video
✓ Learn how to create a 3D camera from your video footage
✓ Learn how to track your video footage in 2D and 3D
✓ Learn how to create depth of field to match your video

I designed the Augmented Reality course to give you immediate tools to create stunning Augmented reality Product videos.
It was important to me that you be able to produce high quality, professional work, even with very little After Effects experience.
Being able to execute a high quality video in several hours can be a game changer for your career.
Having directed and produced a wide range of these videos, I knew that there are 2 top skills you need to know.
These 2 top skills are represented in the 2 lessons of the course.
The first skill is using the After Effects 3D Camera Tracker. This AE feature is absolutely amazing. It analyzes your footage and generates a true 3D camera. You can then add your graphics directly into the 3D scene or device.
The second skill to know is Mocha AE (which comes with After Effects). Mocha AE is a 2D planer tracker that lets you track and composite your graphics directly into your footage.
Both skills are easy to learn, and a premium skill to have in your tool belt.
To support your learning, once you buy the course, you will receive an invite to my private UX in Motion Facebook group. You will also get my brand new UI Animation with After Effects Fast Start course, as well as video on how to really accelerate your workflow using keyboard shortcuts.

“The UX in Motion video tutorials were key to my expertise with motion in UIs. I was able to take my expert skills in Illustrator and Photoshop to whole new level of interactivity. The tutorials do a great job of guiding you through the fundamentals of After Effects and how to realize your motion design ideas. This is one of the best investments you can make if you are interested in learning how to prototype motion and effects in user interfaces.”

“Iz the wizz (can I call you that? I feel like I can call you that.) This is great. Thank you. After about a half day so far, I’ve gone from being like ‘what the heck’s going on in here’ to ‘dang… I totally got this’. Thanks so much for getting me started and I’m looking forward to learning so much more with ya.”

Lesson 1: 2D Tracking with Mocha AE
In this first lesson, you will learn tracking, intro to 3D cameras and depth of field, and split-tone color grading
Overview
You will learn how to quickly track objects in video footage. You’ll learn how to use Mocha AE (which comes bundled with After Effects) to analyze and track any object in your video. You’ll learn how to set up 3D cameras using true depth of field to quickly create beautiful photographic compositions from your designs. Finally, you’ll learn how to split-tone color grade your video for final presentation. While this project may look intimidating, little experience is required. You can do this!

Lesson 2: 3D camera solving
In this second lesson, you will learn screen replacement, 3D camera solving, quick compositing, and turning your designs into 3D scenes
Overview
Building on the previous lesson, you're going to learn how to use Mocha AE to replace a screen on a device. Then you’re going to learn how to use the ‘3D Camera Solver’ in After Effects to generate a true 3D camera. With the 3D scene built, you’ll begin adding your graphics in space and using the ‘collapse transformations’ feature in After Effects to turn your 3D scene into a single object, giving you increased ease, power and flexibility, while you work.
