Résumé
After Effects has been established as the world's most
powerful and cost-effective solution for motion graphics
professionals. The application has revolutionized the
broadcast industry. Proof of the revolution was clear when
the mid-1990s revealed a dazzling array of visual artistry
in ad campaigns and television network promotions, the
quality and the quantity of which had never been
seen.
Version 5.0 was a major upgrade (3D, expressions,
parenting, to name a few) and Version 5.5 could hardly be
considered a dot release. Truly phenomenal software, this
build of After Effects boasts a variety of new features as
well as vast enhancements to its user interface. There are
numerous new filters for concretizing any visual effects
that the mind can envision. Additionally, After Effects 5.5
includes improved 3D-compositing capabilities, greater
command over expressions with the Expression Controls
effects, as well as native support for OSX, among numerous
other improvements.
The After Effects Bible looks into every aspect of the
application. Whether you're completely new to motion
graphics, or an experienced hand looking for ways to get
the most out of the recent upgrade, there is valuable,
time-saving information to be found in each chapter. There
are step exercises for everything from creating complex
keyframe animations to animating cameras in 3D space.
Whether it's read from front-to-back or used as a desktop
reference, the After Effects Bible belongs in the motion
graphic designer's library.
