Basic animation: building your first animation while you learn a typical After Effects workflow -- Advanced animation: manipulating keyframes to create more refined animations -- Layer control: learning how to trim layers and enhance them using blend modes and effects -- Creating transparency: using masks, mattes, and stencils to cut out portions of a layer -- Type and music: animating text and working with music are essential to motion graphics design -- Parenting and nesting: grouping layers to make them easier to coordinate -- Expressions and timne games: using expressions and playing with time -- 3D space: adding a new dimension to your animations -- Track and key: tackling several essential skills for creating special effects -- Paint, roto, and puppet: exploring paint, roto brush, and the puppet tools -- Shape layers: creating, animating, and extruding vector-based shapes -- Final project: creating a show opening, from draft to completion -- Appendix: Rendering -- unleashing your creations on the world.

Subject: "Learn to creatively combine layers, animate eye-catching titles, manipulate 3D space, track or rotoscope existing footage to add new elements, color key and stabilize a shot to place it in a new environment, and use effects to generate excitement or enhance the realism of a scene. Easy to follow, step-by-step instructions guide you through the features, with explanations of the "why" instead of just the "how" behind each technique"--P. 4. of cover.
