Adobe After Effects 3.1: Classroom in a Book

Rating:
Summary: As always from Adobe-a must have learning book!
Review: All Adobe Classroom In A Book series (and I've done many) have been wonderful. This is no exception. I only wish they would introduce them with their software release, only makes sense. I am now waiting for AE 4.0 Classroom in a book. Adobe has the best plan of any software company on how to educate it's masses. Thanks again Adobe, and now where's 4.0 and what did you do to the clone brush and eye dropper in Photoshop 5.0?

Summary: Gives you all the basics.
Review: I've just jumped into the world of graphic design and all of the Classroom in a Book series have been extremely helpful. If there were only one criticism of After Effects, I'd say that the projects weren't really "modern" enough for what I want to do. It doesn't show you how to do fast paced commercial like effects, instead it teaches you slower, more simple projects. But all the basics are there which is the important part.

Summary: Well written with good exercises.
Review: This book will teach you the fundamentals. The exercises work and produce the results expected. The book could use a more comprehensive index.
