The best start to learn After Effect

Are you new with After Effects? Adobe After Effects 7 Visual Quickpro Guide for Antony Bolante really gives you fast steps toward learning more about this product. This book gives you a strong base to start a leading career using After Effects. Antony Bolante in his book considered that the reader is beginner in After Effects. So, he describes each tiny part in an easy to understand way. The first chapters in the book describe this great program, anatomy and tools. And shows you with examples how to use these tools. For example, chapter 12 shows all about creating text and text animation. It starts with setting the workspace for text and goes through creating text, editing, formatting, setting text options and describes in details how to get the most out of text animation, starting with making the text follow a path, using text animation presets and creating animator groups. The last chapter teaches you how to get your work out to the world by using different rendering techniques in After Effects. I think this book is the best resource for beginner After Effect designers and animators, as it really gives you a big push toward the proficiency of Adobe after Effects.
