We've already created some in a previous section, but today we’ll make another kind of transitions, which are whip pans and zooms. They are totally independent and you can apply them further to any videos or photos inside After Effects. 

**In this chapter you've learned:**

- How to create zoom-out and swish pan transitions using Adjustment layers;
- How to apply and animate effects like Transform and Motion Tile;
- How to adjust keyframes and use the Graph Editor for smooth transitions;
- How to simulate motion blur using the Directional Blur effect;
- The flexibility and advantages of creating custom transitions for better control in your projects.

This course provides a comprehensive introduction to Adobe After Effects, covering essential tools and techniques for animation, motion graphics, and visual effects. You'll engage in precise practice, learning to create full animations and advanced transitions in dedicated chapters. By the end, you'll have the skills to craft dynamic animations and high-quality video content through hands-on projects.

You'll explore the core interface and functionality of After Effects, learning how to navigate compositions, layers, and essential tools. You'll also learn how to organize your projects effectively and gain a strong understanding of basic transformations, laying the groundwork for more complex animation tasks.

This section focuses on mastering key animation principles, such as keyframing and easing, along with learning to create a complete animation on a real example in a dedicated chapter and making motion graphics transitions in another.

Now you'll explore more advanced features such as chroma keying with the Keylight effect, using masks for refining effects, Adjustment Layers for applying effects to multiple layers, and pre-composing for better project organization. Additionally, you'll practice creating professional transitions, perfecting techniques like zooms and whip pans, with an emphasis on precise execution.
