Great for new After Effects users 5 out of 5 stars.
34 of 36 people found this review helpful.
Highly recommended for anyone starting out in After Effects. In fact, if you've never even seen After Effects, this book is for you. After just a few lessons, you'll feel more comfortable and confident using the After Effects interface and features. If you need to get up to speed quickly with this powerful compositing software, then AE Classroom in a Book will serve you well.Regarding a few of the criticisms that some people have leveled against this book:
If you're already an AE pro and have gone through the earlier edition, then the "what's new" section of the official AE manual should be your main learning tool. This book is designed for beginners, not to help people migrate from version 3.
Yes, the lessons in this book are not earth shattering and exciting. This book teaches you how to use a professional compositing software package. Serious compositing is, generally, an unexciting procedure. For people wishing to be entertained, I would recommend a collection of Gary Larson's Far Side strips. For people who wish to learn After Effects, I would recommend this book.
Happy compositing!

Editorial Review:
Adobe After Effects is the tool multimedia professionals turn to for creating animated graphics and visual effects for film, video, and the Web. Adobe After Effects 4.0 Classroom in a Book is the fastest, most comprehensive way to master the program, including Version 4.0's new built-in file format, cross-platform plug-ins, and powerful video and audio special effects such as Wave Warp and Timecode.
Like the other books in the bestselling Classroom in a Book series, Adobe After Effects 4.0 Classroom in a Book teaches the program's tools and techniques in short, focused lessons that you can take at your own pace. For hands-on experience, follow along with the included cross-platform CD and put the techniques to work immediately. Both the book and CD feature material were created and tested by Adobe's software training experts, with illustrations that show you exactly what you should see on-screen.
