Getting the Lesson Files with the Kindle Edition,
This review is from: Adobe After Effects CS6 Classroom in a Book (Paperback)
I haven't finished using the book yet, but I've seen some complaints and problems regarding accessing the required Lesson files on reviews of the Photoshop and Illustrator CS6 books in this series, so I thought I'd give a quick guide:1. Open the ebook in Kindle for PC. 2. Go to the last or second to last page "Where are the Lesson Files?" 3. Click the Peachpit link provided, a list of the 15 Lesson files in zip format should open in your browser. 4. DO NOT use the download all option. It opens a new window and throws a weird Java error. 5. Use the Download links on the far right side of each lesson to download each item individually. 6. Follow the book's instructions for using the downloaded lesson content. That's it. Hope that helps.

A Beginners-Only Learning Experience, By M. Media Studios Inc. "M2 Media Studios, Inc." (Northern Virginia (West of DC)) - See all my reviews 
This review is from: Adobe After Effects CS6 Classroom in a Book (Paperback)
Since 2005, when we heard of the forthcoming Adobe Master Collection, following the Adobe-Macromedia merger, we've been on a mission to master that collection. We admit to not really feeling as if we have gotten there, yet, and that's why we devote hours every week to learn more.We've been enamored with After Effects (AE) since 1993 when it's founder, CoSA had it, before it went to Aldus and inevitably Adobe. The learning curve for AE is a bit steep. It's not because it's a difficult app to learn. It's not. If you're already working working in Premiere Pro (Pr) you have many of the basic skills. However, AE is something of the world's largest sweetest onion which has to be unpeeled one layer at a time and some days it feels as if we'll never make it to the center of the thing. Our primary learning resource is the Classroom in a Book (CIB) series plus Learn by Video also known as Video to Brain or V2B. To that extent, since we have studied both of them for AE... Read more

For one of the most complex programs ever... this is the perfect first step!, By
This review is from: Adobe After Effects CS6 Classroom in a Book (Paperback)
The Classroom in Book series is fantastic for taking people with no knowledge of the subject matter and getting them up and running in one quick read. I love the format of the Classroom in a Book series as they start each chapter with what you can expect to learn and approximately how long it will take. The steps are napoleon corporal clear and at the end there is a short non-intimidating quiz to review. Classroom... in a book.Make no mistake about it, After Effects is one of the programs that goes WAY down the rabbit hole. Seriously so much can be done with this software you will need a lot of books, tutorials, experience, and if you can get a mentor, grab two. That being said, we all start somewhere. Before jumping to video copilot or even Lynda the Classroom in a Book fro After Effect CS6 will get you up and running pretty quickly. I recommend it as a good first step into an amazing world! |
