Course details
Generative AI tools such as Midjourney, DALL-E, and Firefly enable the creation of amazing images of all kinds. But they don't put those images in motion. In this course, instructor and motion designer Eran Stern shows you how to add animation to AI-generated images using a variety of tools, including Adobe Photoshop and After Effects. Review the image generation process, then learn how to prepare an image for animation and animate it. Plus, dive into the process of turning an AI image into a 3D scene that you can animate. A hands-on challenge helps you practice what you learn in the course.
