From graphic design and motion graphics to AI tools and content creation, every module was taught with hands-on projects. Today I am working as a Motion Graphics Designer and applying what I learned at FTP every day.
The practical training, live projects and industry-level editing techniques built real confidence in post-production. With my mentors' guidance I secured a professional job soon after the course.
The course helped me understand professional editing pipelines, motion graphics, storytelling and advanced VFX through real assignments — and inspired me to start working with an agency and production house.
Questions, answered.
Which AI tools will I learn?
Seedream 5.0, Nano Banana Pro, Flux 2 Pro, Kling, Omini Flash, ElevenLabs, Seedance, Wan 3.0 and Lyria, alongside traditional editing software.
How is it different from the Diploma in Photography & Videography?
Both are 1-year UGC approved programmes with the same assessment. This one swaps much of the photography focus for animation, editing, VFX and generative AI.
Is it suitable for beginners?
Yes. Semester 1 starts with foundation art, script and classical animation principles before moving to software.
What are the fees and when does the next batch start?
