Premiere and After Effects Studio Secrets

Rating:
Summary: A Waste....
Review: I put the companion CD into one of my CD players and it doesn't work. I put it in another one of my CD players and it works fine...Some of the files on the CD are absolutely worthless...more fluff than substance...I will wait for Creating Motion Graphics with After Efects Volume 2 which is due out in March, 2003...Trish and Chris Meyer whose first book is excellent...continue with their expertise in the subject of After Effects and explain various applications that can be used with this application...Don't waste your time with this book...If there was a 0 star rating I would have given it that...but 1 is the lowest Amazon.com allows...

Summary: This book is more for inspiration
Review: This book is more for inspiration, praises and introduction for the motion graphics works done by 18+ experts in the field.

Most examples are not really explained or guiding you in details. Many folders in the companion DVD do not contain the actual examples for you to follow. (This may be because as the book title said that these are studio secrets).

Read this book for leisure only but do not dwell on it.

Summary: Great book!
Review: This book won't teach you the basics of Premiere and After Effects. What it does is look into the heads of 21 top artists. Very inspiring! These techniques could help me take my own digital art to a higher level.
