Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
Users of Adobe After Effects 3.1, the professional compositing application for Macintosh and Windows, have an excellent guidebook in this Classroom in a Book offering. In lesson after lesson, you build increasingly sophisticated composite movies using project files on the book's hybrid CD-ROM. You start off by learning the interface and then use the product's layering, masking, matte, keying-control, and special effects features. Then you learn how to animate with keyframes; adjust interpolations and velocity; use motion tracking and blue-screen keying features; synchronize audio and video; integrate animated layers from Photoshop; and render your movies. An appendix provides technical information on issues relating to film and video, such as alpha channels, frame rates, video-safe areas, NTSC color space, video aspect ratios, interlacing, video transfers, rendering for film, and audio.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Gives you all the basics.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Adobe After Effects 3.1: Classroom in a Book (Paperback)
I've just jumped into the world of graphic design and all of the Classroom in a Book series have been extremely helpful. If there were only one criticism of After Effects, I'd say that the projects weren't really "modern" enough for what I want to do. It doesn't show you how to do fast paced commercial like effects, instead it teaches you slower, more simple projects. But all the basics are there which is the important part.

This book will teach you the fundamentals. The exercises work and produce the results expected. The book could use a more comprehensive index.
