Videocopilot aftereffects basic training

Welcome to Basic Training!
In this Free Video Training Series, you'll learn everything you need to know to start using After Effects today. This is not an overview of the software, this is a real training series that covers advanced techniques for Motion Tracking, Color Keying and even 3D Title Design. Of course, we will cover the basics too.

What Version of After Effects do I need?
Nearly all of the training in this series will apply to After Effects CS3 and the Professional version of AE 6.5 & 7.

Why is it free, are you guys crazy?
Time to come clean. The truth is we want you to buy our DVDs but not all of our products are for beginners, so by teaching you the basics, you'll be in a position to take advantage of our great post production tools. Pretty sneaky :) Oh yeah... and we love you too.

Why should I learn After Effects?
After Effects gives you the power to create amazing visual effects and motion graphics. These skills will surely make you more valuable at work or to a future employer. You will also appear more attractive and confident.
