    Hi there

    just started using ae7 with the help of total training DVD so i have come to uunderstand alot about it and how it works with keyframes parenting etc.

    my question is i want to use it for creating effects in video’s like wedding intro’s and want to know what is the best way of doing this as the training video does not go there
    i have cut my work in ppro 1.5 with no effects and imported it to ae7 and it came in as layers so i guess you dont use transitions
    is there any training videos that show you how to work with video clip in AE
    or is ae just good for masking etc. when it comes to video and what is the best way to use rotoscoping
    with the plugins would i be better of buying plugins for AE or PPRo

    please help as i want my work to go to the next level

    thanks
    Robbo

    thanks for readin

    I’d suggest taking a look at the tutorials here on the cow for AE… a bit cheaper than the TTDVDs. Also, subscribe to the AE Cow Podcast. GREAT helpful tips and tricks.

    Not sure what effect you really want to do so it’s hard to give you exact advice. A lot of us work with Photoshop and Illustrator to get layers we want and bring them in with alpha channels and such to get the video to “show thru” layers.

    Rotoscoping is a whole other life… and a huge timebust — but if you need to do it you can in AE.

    Good luck,
