Best training for beginners or a little beyond
I have ‘toyed’ with AE since version 5.0 as a hobbyist but would like to hear some advise and direction in identifying the best training avaiable for AE. I currently have CS3 Production Premium and am comfortable using Premier, Photoshop and Encore. I am just not sure where to find the best training for someone who has little AE experience. My work prevents me from attending hosted on-location training classes.

Nothing beats Trish & Chris Meyer’s books on After Effects. Check out Creating Motion Graphics with After Effects. It’s a great place to start for beginners and intermediate level-users; it provides a very thorough explanation of the entire program.

Grant,
Thank you for the quick response! I have seen their books…..and others and just needed a trusted source for guidance.
Thanks again!

And don’t forget their “Apprentice” book which has tutorials targetted at common AE tasks. And not forgetting the COW’s many AE Master Series training DVDs.
Cheers

Why you’re welcome. I should mention though that they can get a bit long-winded… If you follow along with the project files and stick with it though it will be well worth the effort.
