It's one of the best software tutorials I've ever read because it is written from a production point of view. It's not a catalog of features and effects, nor is it a series of technical monographs grouped by functionality and interspersed with a few screencaps (*cough* after effects 5 bible *cough*). It's grouped by things you need to accomplish in production and written simply & clearly with copious full-color screen grabs. Sidebars handle technical detail, workarounds, and asides. What Trish and Chris are doing you is guiding you through work habits they've garnered in 10 years of working with this app in a relaxed, conversational way. Thumbs Up! Hint for reading this book: When you start each chapter, read all the sidebars and callouts first as a warmup, then go back and read everything. Steve Kilisky, Senior Product Manager, Adobe After Effects "I can't think of anyone more qualified to show you how to get the most out of After Effects." Book Description Creating Motion Graphics with After Effects reveals expert techniques for producing compelling motion graphics.
