Teaching After Effects

[Tudor “ted” jelescu]

Since you mention editors it seems that Premiere would be the one you would need training in. AE is not a editing tool, although you can do minor editing in it.
Here are a few useful resources:

For AE, Andrew Davis has a basic series here on the COW, Videocopilot has a good series and of course Linda.com

Thanks!

I’ll incorparate those!

Yes, we are “editors” around here, we do a lot of graphics work. I’m not so worried about them learning the basics of Premiere as I am learning to do with Motion. That is why we’re kind of stressing AE incorporation.

Classroom in a Book for AE CS6 is a horrible book! Video and even audio files are ridiculously short – as low as 2-3 seconds. The completed exercises look like crap on a stick!!! FWIW, it’s a tutorial-based book that lacks a lot of insight into the features. It’s meant to be used as a quick guide to AE.

I second Ted’s recommendation to incorporate workflow routines/techniques that cover AE and an NLE.

There are folks around *ahem* *ahem* that can design a course syllabus for your company – at a fee of course. 😉

Thanks Roland!

Yes, we’re looking at people in the Detroit area who can come in and teach. That was one of the first things I thought of. 🙂
