After Effects CS4 New Creative Techniques.
with: Chris Meyer and Trish Meyer
After Effects CS4 New Creative Techniques was created and produced by Trish and Chris Meyer. We are honored to host their material in the lynda.com Online Training Library®. Motion graphics artist Chris Meyer, who has used After Effects since version 1, created After Effects CS4 New Creative Techniques to highlight some of the most exciting features in the latest release. These include several new effects; integration with Photoshop 3D layers; and independent control and keyframing of the X, Y, and Z position parameters. The new composition manager and mini-flowchart are big improvements, as are the Flash export features. Enhanced integration with Adobe Device Central greatly eases authoring for mobile devices. Other interesting changes Chris discusses include the newly bundled Mocha tracking and stabilization program, Wiggle transformations for shape layers, and Pixel Bender integration.

After Effects CS4 Getting Started
with: Chad Perkins
In After Effects CS4 Getting Started, Chad Perkins reveals why he and so many others are passionate about this software. After Effects is an intuitive and powerful environment for experimenting with motion graphics, compositing, and animation. Chad introduces the basic workflow of collecting and organizing assets in the Project panel, assembling them into layered compositions, and applying color correction and other effects. He offers detailed explanations of 3D, text, and character animation options, including the Puppet tool, which is used to bring organic motion to static images. He also shows how to output finished work into file formats that can be used by other applications.
