I love Adobe AfterEffects. Ever since I read the first CREATING MOTION GRAPHICS by Trish and Chris Meyers, I’ve been hooked and amazed at what that program can do. I’ve used other tools for footage stabilization, color correction, motion graphics and FX compositing. In the end, I always end up coming back to AE. In addition to being an all-around great tool, my favorite thing about AE is how quickly it renders. Sophisticated and efficient.
If you’re wanting to learn more about the more advanced AfterEffects tricks. I strongly recommend that you visit Andrew Kramer’s VideoCoPilot.Net Site. He’s got 64 tutorials on everything from greenscreening, replacing sky and stabilizing footage to putting bugs under your skin and freaky eyeballs in your skull. Terrific techniques for the modern filmmaker. For those who love to learn by reading, the books by Trish and Chris Meyers are still the best. For the media generation, try Kramer first. Then, take a look at Pixel2Life and CreativeCow.

Cyndi- VideoCopilot is my FAVORITE tutorial site on the net. Andrew has done such a good job and actually has a sense of humor about it (go figure!). So glad you like these too! Love reading your blog, just wanted you to know I check up regularly on this.
I’ve been blogging faithfully as well, and am always inspired by your ability to keep this interesting and relevant. Thanks Cyndi.
