Adobe After Effects UX

NOTICE: DATE CHANGE! We will see you next Wednesday, APRIL 11!

Adobe After Effects. We almost all use it or are learning it. For many of us, it's our most essential tool. Let's talk about it. Let's also tell Adobe what's important to us for the way it works.

We're delighted to host Ramiz Sheikh, an interaction and motion designer based in San Francisco. While studying Web Design and New Media at the Academy of Arts University he took a deep interest in 3D and interned at Adobe working on interaction design for Adobe Dimension. Upon graduation he started working on the user experience of After Effects and continues to do so today.

Ramiz will give us a little bit about his experience leading up to working at Adobe. Then he will go over some of the newer features in the latest release of After Effects. But, he'd really like to hear from us. He's using our group as an opportunity to get people’s feedback on what they (YOU!) would like to see in After Effects, understand your pain points and have an open discussion.

If you've ever been curious about doing UX at the desktop level, this is a great chance to get an insight into the process. If you are a user and want a voice shaping the software you use everyday, now's your chance.

Keep it constructive, bring your passion, and chow down on some pizza as we figure out the future.
