is important since After Effects is really bad at handling sounds so it's
best to import the finished edits into Premiere Pro for that last
edit.
- Make the background transparent
- Render the file
- Export in MOV
- Import to Premiere Pro

This week he taught us about storyboarding our animation and animatics. He
gave us videos to watch to get a better understanding of what he was
teaching as well.

if the composition you had in mind connects with the audio or message you
want to relay.
WEEK 10
