If you've searched for an "After Effects course in Amritsar," "motion graphics course Jalandhar," or "VFX compositing course Ludhiana," you've probably noticed the same problem most Punjab students run into: institutes either bundle After Effects into a long, broad multimedia programme, or teach it as a two-week crash course that barely covers keyframes. MITS Academy runs it differently — a focused, 8-week, 24-class course built entirely around After Effects, with a real project delivered every single week, available at all three MITS Academy centres: Amritsar, Jalandhar, and Ludhiana.
What this course actually covers
Unlike a general "video editing with some After Effects" programme, this course treats After Effects as its own discipline — motion graphics, compositing, and visual effects inside one application, taught in a real production sequence:
- •Week 1 — After Effects Basics: interface, workspace, compositions, layers, keyframes for Position/Scale/Rotation/Opacity, anchor points. Project: Basic Logo Animation.
- •Week 2 — Animation Fundamentals: the Graph Editor, Easy Ease, motion paths, parenting, null objects, pre-compositions, motion blur. Project: Animated Social Media Ad.
- •Week 3 — Text Animation & Typography: text animators, range selectors, kinetic typography, lower thirds. Project: Kinetic Typography Video.
- •Week 4 — Shape Layers & Motion Graphics: trim paths, repeater, merge paths, infographics, the Essential Graphics panel. Project: Animated Infographic / Explainer Scene.
- •Week 5 — Masks, Effects & Compositing: track mattes, blending modes, green-screen/keying, rotoscoping basics. Project: VFX Composite.
- •Week 6 — Advanced Animation & VFX: motion tracking, camera tracking, 3D layers, cameras and lights. Project: Cinematic VFX Shot.
- •Week 7 — Professional Motion Graphics: logo reveals, product animation, Reels/short-form graphics, Dynamic Link workflow with Premiere Pro. Project: Complete Promotional Motion Graphic.
- •Week 8 — Professional Workflow & Final Project: client brief, storyboard, asset management, professional rendering and export. Final Project: a complete professional motion graphics or VFX video.
By the end, you've built 8 real deliverables — not tutorials you followed along with, but projects you can put directly into a portfolio or demo reel.
Why 2 months, not 7
MITS Academy's flagship Animation & VFX course (7 months) covers the full 3D studio pipeline — Maya, Houdini, Nuke, 3D modelling, rigging and character animation. This After Effects course is different on purpose: it's a fast, tool-specific route for students who know they want motion graphics, compositing and VFX skills without committing to the full 3D pipeline. If you later decide you want to go deeper into 3D, the After Effects skills transfer directly — compositing and motion principles are shared foundations.
Real fees and what's included
The course costs ₹22,000–₹32,000 for the full 8-week, 24-class programme, with EMI options available. That includes all 8 weekly projects, the Dynamic Link workflow module with Premiere Pro, and a certificate on MITS Academy's ISO 9001:2015-certified letterhead. Prices mentioned are indicative and may vary based on course structure and requirements — customised courses are also available on request.
Who this course is actually for
You don't need any prior design or animation experience — the course starts from the After Effects interface and basic keyframing in Week 1. It suits:
- •Students who want motion graphics or VFX compositing skills specifically, without a 6-7 month commitment
- •Graphic designers who want to add movement to their static design skills
- •Content creators and social media managers who want to produce their own animated Reels, titles, and promotional graphics
- •Anyone evaluating whether animation/VFX is the right longer-term career before committing to the full Animation & VFX programme
What jobs and freelance work this leads to
Graduates typically move into Motion Graphics Artist, VFX Compositor, Video Editor (motion/VFX specialist), Social Media Content Creator, Title & Broadcast Designer, or Freelance Motion Designer roles. After Effects skills — especially kinetic typography, logo animation and social media motion graphics — are consistently in demand on freelance platforms like Fiverr and Upwork, making this one of the more freelance-friendly standalone courses MITS Academy offers.
