In this video, we are going to learn interfaces of After Effects
0:13
So friend, first version of Adobe After Effects were released in 1995 with many features which
0:19
introduced over a years. And so the interface of Adobe After Effects is also changed by different version time
0:27
to time. So now we are going to see the interface of After Effects in Adobe CC 2019 version
0:36
So let's get into it. Right now I am using Adobe After Effects in Windows operating system
0:43
But if you are using a Mac operating system, then there will be a little bit of differences
0:48
but you no need to worry. So once you open the After Effects, the first you need to see all the panels
0:55
So you need to go to Windows and select Workspace. Inside that Workspace, you can see all panels
1:04
So just click on it. So after click on it, you can see the all panels are available in our After Effects interface
1:12
We do this to make sure that we all are on the same setup of interfaces
1:18
In case interface got changed or you want to reset it, then go to Workspace and select
1:26
Reset All Panels, which reset your interface to default mode. Now if you are using a different version of After Effects, then there will be a little
1:36
change which you can easily understand. So no need to worry. So friend, this is our Adobe After Effects dark interface version
1:45
But in the earlier version, it was light version. So if you don't like the dark version and if you want to work with the light version
1:54
then simply go to Edit and here you can see Preferences. And now you have to select Appearance
2:03
And now here you can see Brightness option, which you can toggle from dark to light and
2:09
light to dark. I like to work in the dark version of After Effects
2:13
So I select the dark side and click OK. Now we break the interface into the five key sections
2:23
Section 1 is the Timeline panel at the bottom side. Section 2 is the Composition panel here in the center
2:32
Section 3 is the Project panel on the left side of the screen
2:37
Section 4 is the Tool panel on the top of the screen
2:42
Section 5 is the Work panel on the right side of the screen
2:46
So these are the interfaces of After Effects. Now one by one, we are going to see all panels
2:53
So in the next video, we are going to learn Timeline panel
