Manual for AE
I wanted to know if anybody knew of a quality instruction manual for After Effects. I would like one with good hands on tutorials and applications. I am knew to AE and will be using 7.0 so keep those things in mind when making suggestions.
Thanks

I guess it depends on what you want to do with AE – visual effects, compositing, motion graphics, etc. For motion graphics, my personal favorite is Trish and Chris Meyers’ “Creating Motion Graphics with After Effects”. Vol. 1 is updated for 6.5 while Vol. 2 is still for 5.5 I believe, and they are both absolutely invaluable.
You shouldn’t worry too much about working with 7.0, just make sure you get familiar with the new user interface. Even the keyboard shortcuts are mostly still there.

Both vol 1 & 2 were updated for 6.5.
