About the After Effects & Motion Graphics course
Adobe After Effects is the standard tool for motion graphics: animated logos, kinetic typography, explainers, lower thirds and the small animated touches that make social video look professional. Agencies and brands look for editors who can add motion, and designers who can make their work move.
The course starts with the basics of animation — keyframes, easing, timing and the graph editor — then moves to text animators, shape layers, animating Illustrator artwork, masks, tracking and compositing. AI tools for rotoscoping, object removal and generated textures are taught alongside, with care for client rights.
Briefs come from Media 360 Concept's creative work at HiLITE Business Park. You produce a logo animation, an animated explainer and a motion showreel, and you learn to build templates and deliver renders the way studios expect.
Who this course is for
- Video editors who want to add motion graphics
- Graphic designers moving into animation
- Content creators who want branded, animated videos

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to know video editing before After Effects?
It helps but is not required. If you are new to video, the Premiere Pro course is a good first step, and many students take both.
Is After Effects used for VFX?
After Effects handles motion graphics, compositing and lighter visual effects. Heavy 3D and film VFX use other tools, but After Effects is the standard for motion design in agencies and social media.
Is AI really used in every module?
Yes. You use AI tools from the first week — for captions, clean-up, assets and first drafts — and you are judged on taste and finish: whether the final piece is on-brief, on-brand and properly licensed.
Can I take the After Effects & Motion Graphics course online?
Yes. After Effects & Motion Graphics runs offline at HiLITE Business Park, Kozhikode and live online, with the same syllabus, projects and reviews. Online students join live classes, get help on screen share and submit work for the same feedback as classroom students.
Are classes taught in Malayalam or English?
Both. Concepts are explained in Malayalam and English, while technical terms, notes, code and project briefs are in English, so you are ready for interviews and client work in either language.
What are the batch timings?
Batches run Sunday to Friday, with morning and evening batches so students and working professionals can both attend. Message us on WhatsApp for the next start date.
Do I get a certificate?
Yes, you receive a Media 360 Academy certificate for After Effects & Motion Graphics. Your portfolio of finished projects is what employers and clients will look at most.
