After Effects tutorial for beginners

[Mark]

A lot of Aaharon’s tutorials would be good for a beginner. He has a very good way of explaining what he is doing, and while sometimes the subject of his tutorials may be a little more advanced, he has a lot of tutorials that are quite basic…You can also buy his DVDs that offer a collection of his online tutorials.

If you want to spend money but get up to speed very quickly, then maybe Total training might be where you may want to look. Brian Maffit and his staff make excellent training DVDs that take you basically from opening the application to some very advanced effect creations….definately well worth the money. There are also any of the AE books by Chris and Trish Meyer which will undoubtedly teach you a lot about AE.

Anne,

I agree, Aaharon’s tutorials are great.

Andrew Kramer also has a TON of great tutorials at http://www.videocopilot.net/tutorials/. He has a section for beginners on the right-hand side of the screen. Of course, I would also recommend starting with tutorial #1 and working your way through the 70 or so that are after it. Great stuff and each tutorial has little tips and tricks.

Good luck with starting out – and ask questions!!
