About

We all know of Adobe’s huge array of products and services related to graphic design, animation, video and audio editing (among many others!) Did you know that there are many alternatives to Adobe applications that work just as well and won’t break the bank? In this course we will introduce some alternatives to Adobe’s popular four applications: Premiere, Photoshop, After Effects, and Audition. Many of the applications are free or very low cost, and will work on a Mac or a PC. By the end of the course we hope that you will have some more tools in your post-production toolbox.
