  Is there any resource that explains the Effects and Presets in AE?

  Posted by Paul Boone on February 3, 2012 at 2:41 am

  There’s a bunch of effects and presets in AE and I’m looking for something that can show me a bit of what they can do without trying each one out. Kind of a summary. The manual in Motion 4 had this, with pictures next to each effect that gave an example of what it looked like.

  Perhaps someone has made a website that contains this information? I don’t see anything like this in the AE user manual

  From the File menu in After Effects choose Browse in Bridge.

  In Adobe Bridge navigate to the Presets folder, many have a visual and the text animation presets have a gif animation preview.

  AE’s Help Menu provides a link to Effects, which leads to details for each effect and their respective parameters.

  Lynda.com has an AE course where Chad Perkins goes through every effect in CS4.
