  Hi,
  I’m new to A.E. and I’m not sure where to begin. I’m a slow learner and prefer to watch tutorials on the internet and on DVDs. I’ve to tried to learn A.E. from books but I more of a visul person. I have A.E. 6 and started experimenting with it but I’d rather have step-by-step instructions on the basics. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  There are lots of good video tutorials available. You can start here at CreativeCow, the leaders here have created a sizeable library of lessons and tips, starting from the basics to the most complex.

  Try starting from this link:

  There are also video training packages you can buy, like Total Training’s excellent stuff (expensive) or Lynda.com (cheaper, but you buy it by subscription or piece-by-piece).

  Now, a shameless plug: I have a copy of the Total Training tutorial DVD’s for After Effects 6.0 that I don’t need anymore. I’d be happy to sell them to you for very cheap ($50). If you’re interested, please contact me- timkphotos *at* gmail *dot* com

  I saw your prfile says you are in CA, if you are in So Cal, Video SYmphony in Burbank has an awesome class on AE. the intro class moves fast but is super great for all people. You get abook to practice with, but mostly the class is not taught from a book. It is a bit pricey but a sure quick and fun way to start mastering the program.
