    Hey guys listen,is there any way possible that I can make a simple movie in After Effects CS4? My friend gave me this software as a gift and I really wanna use it sooo bad,I have played with a couple of times and have learned how to do certain effects,but I really wanna just learn how to make a simple movie in it….for example, I just want to put different clips together like in Windows Movie Maker and I know that After Effects is totally beyond different than Windows Movie Maker,because thats what I’m use to working with,but I’m trying to move on to something new,the timeline in After Effects is kind of confusing me….like once I’ll put in a clip and I try to make it to where I can squeeze another in,but I dont know how to can you all please show me?? I’d really appreciate it!

    After Effects is an effects program. If you want to edit clips together use an editing program like premiere, final cut, avid, vegas etc
