Easily one of the better ones

The book has some great examples, which the reader is talked through. Not all of them are great, but a lot of them are, and they're from the sort of projects that form the bulk of AE work. It beats most of the AE books out there hands down (most of the others are just a rehash of the manual). I noticed a few people on the list hated it, but if they're really that advanced, why would they be bothered reading "how to" books? My biggest gripe with the book is that there were not MORE examples in there (books are expensive these days) > but I could say the same for most books I see now. Anyway, the book helped speed up my AE learning time, which is the main thing I'm after - not just an illustrated rehash of the manual.

After Effects Most Wanted

Good Book.It is good getting a range of practical experience .If your keen to actually do things - rather than just read about themI'd recommend it.-mike

hardcore effects

Each chapter in this book gives you a real proffesional use of After Effects, and boy are they complex. The comps lean heavily toward compositing using 3D models - so if that's what you most want - you got it!It might have been 5 stars but 8 effects is not really enough unless you have a use for all of them.
