Orlando InDesign User Group

The future of print is here! Spend an evening with video editor and motion graphic artist Robert McCaffrey. Professor McCaffrey will introduce you to the time-based editing tools in Adobe Photoshop and Adobe After Effects. Learn how to create stunning animated content to transform Adobe InDesign CS4 into dynamic Acrobat PDF Print and Web designs.

Our Orlando User group is entering its fifth year. This meeting is for you! Bring your laptop and work along – FREE WiFi.

You will learn how to prep static images for animation, hide cut points with full-frame and edge-on transitions, apply animated strokes to your vector designs, and use the 3D capabilities in Photoshop and After Effects to add depth to your animations.

Robert McCaffrey (rmccaffrey@valenciacc.edu) is an instructor and program director for Valencia’s Digital Media for Video and Motion Graphics program. He earned his Master’s in Motion Picture, Television & Recording Arts from Florida State University and worked as a writer, producer and freelance editor before he started teaching.
