The Specialization is designed to be completed in approximately 6 to 7 weeks, with a recommended commitment of 3–4 hours per week. This flexible schedule allows learners to progress at a steady pace while balancing other professional or academic responsibilities. Over the duration of the program, learners engage in hands-on lessons, practical exercises, and project-based work that reinforce real-world After Effects workflows without requiring a full-time commitment.

Learners should have a basic understanding of Adobe After Effects, including familiarity with the interface, timelines, layers, and simple animations. Prior exposure to video editing, graphic design, or digital media concepts is helpful but not required. This Specialization builds from foundational skills and gradually advances to professional-level motion graphics and compositing workflows.

Yes. The courses are designed to be taken in a structured sequence to ensure optimal learning outcomes. Learners begin with keying fundamentals, progress to motion graphics creation and animation, and conclude with advanced compositing, rotoscoping, and dynamic motion workflows. Following this order allows skills to build logically and efficiently across the Specialization.
