Learn After Effects with VideoCopilot

Starting off with Adobe After Effects can be quite difficult. I know that when I started out with it that I had no idea what I was doing and was quite daunted by the program!
After Effects is a great tool for producing motion graphics, effects, colour correction, performing keys, rotoscoping and much more. I had eventually figured out how to use it but I never knew of its full potential until I discovered Andrew Kramer's After Effects tutorials on VideoCopilot.net.
The tutorials are narrated Flash videos which cover a wide range of different ways to use After Effects from doing a Heroes-style skin healing effect or simulating an exploding planet to producing bugs crawling under someone's skin, zooming into somebody's bloodstream or making 2D photographs 3D.
Andrew Kramer even covers mundane but useful techniques for things like deinterlacing footage or converting frame rates.

The full list of tutorials is really worth a browse, there's so much great content there. Kramer's narration is straightforward, easy to listen to and usually funny as well! If you want your graphics and effects to look more professional, these tutorials are for you.
