Great After Effects Tutorial
Software: Avid
Platform: All
Skill Level: All
Almost any editor using Avid will have heard of Adobe's outstanding compositing and effects package After Effects. I use this software daily for tasks that simply are too difficult to achieve inside Avid itself. After Effects has one of the most well-sorted interfaces I've ever used (how I wish Avid keyframes were as flexible) and very tight integration with its' stablemates Photoshop and Illustrator.
I recently decided to upgrade my skills and purchased a two CD training pack - Adobe After Effects 5/5.5 Essentials Tutorials, created by Jayse Hansen. I've only had a chance to go through about 1.5 hours of the 9.5 hours of material so far - but even this small start justifies the purchase price ($149.95 AUD).
For anybody who wants to learn more about After Effects - I would highly recommend this training set. The lessons are presented as narrated Quicktime movies and the examples that Jayse uses can be applied to many common editing and effects situations.

Cool blog. Glad I just found it.
Wish SOMEONE would write the definitive article on Avid>AfterEffects workflow. I have never heard a final conclusion on best ways in and out of Avid/AfterEffects to preserve highest quality and least compression (short of using Automatic Duck).
Oops. Well thanks to a link on your blog to Wes Plate, I happened to finally find that definitive workflow article!! Thanks to you and Mr. Plate.
Thank you. I just need time to test your useful recommendations. I am familiar not very well with both. Avid is rater hard in some effects, while they can easily be done with after effects. Next- I need several days to test.
Thanks for the information, sounds like something I could really use!
