After Effects Apprentice Free Video: Rendering a 4:3 Center Cut Movie from a 16:9 Composition...plus an update on what’s next for the Apprentice series.
As we mentioned what now seems like ages ago, we spent a year and a half creating an extensive, multi-course video training series based on our popular beginner’s book After Effects Apprentice. The introduction plus one or more additional videos from each course are available for free preview; we re-posted here on PVC the videos that contain tips and instruction you might find useful. Well, the series is done, and we’re off writing the next edition of the book. But before we go, we had one last video to share with you, which may be of interest to any After Effects user who still has to create both 16:9 and 4:3 versions of their compositions. more »After Effects Apprentice Free Video: Using Parenting to Animate Layers as a UnitTaking advantage of parenting, multiple 3D views, and AE’s built-in calculator to coordinate a multi-layer animation. As we mentioned awhile back, we’ve been busy the past year and a half creating an extensive, multi-course video training series based on our popular beginner’s book After Effects Apprentice. Buried in the shuffle of the release of After Effects CS6 is that we concluded this series with a 3+ hour course dedicated to that book’s Final Project. Several movies from this course are available for free preview from lynda.com; we’d like to share those with you here - including this movie that demonstrates using parenting to group together a set of 3D layers. more »After Effects Apprentice Free Video: Working with Nested 3D CompositionsHow you can be two places at once inside After Effects As we mentioned awhile back, we’ve been busy the past year and a half creating an extensive, multi-course video training series based on our popular beginner’s book After Effects Apprentice. Buried in the shuffle of the release of After Effects CS6 is that we concluded this series with a 3+ hour course dedicated to that book’s Final Project. Several movies from this course are available for free preview from lynda.com; we’d like to share those with you here - including this movie that includes a selection of small but useful tricks. more »After Effects Apprentice Free Video: Copying Paths from Illustrator to After EffectsRevealing Illustrator paths requires a few intermediate steps, involving After Effects masks and effects. Buried in the shuffle over the announcement of After Effects CS6 is that we concluded the video training series for our book After Effects Apprentice 2nd Edition with a nearly 3.5 hour course dedicated to that book’s Final Project. Several movies from this course are available for free preview from lynda.com; we’d like to share those with you here - including this movie on how to reveal Illustrator artwork by copying its paths into After Effects masks. more »Advertisement After Effects CS6 Tutorial: Exporting 3D Camera Tracker Data to Cinema 4DYou can export the results of the new 3D Camera Tracker to any application that has a way to accept AE keyframe data. One of the major new features in After Effect CS6 (which we previously previewed here) is a built-in 3D Camera Tracker. Rather than track a specific object or point, the 3DCT automatically tracks hundreds of points in a clip, and uses that information to reverse engineer where the camera was during the scene. This opens up all sorts of interesting workflows. more »After Effects CS6 Tutorial: Targeting Properties in the new Ray-Traced 3D EngineAlthough the new extrusion and beveling capabilities initially seem limited, you can actually edit the individual material options for each group of surfaces. In our preview of After Effects CS6, we spent a lot of time discussing the pros and cons of the new ray-traced 3D rendering engine, which includes the ability to extrude and bevel text and shape layers. When you start playing around with it, initially it may seem that you have only one color and set of Material Options for the entire layer. In truth, Adobe has provided a back door to go in and change the color and every material option - including amount of transparency and strength of reflections - for the front, sides, back, and bevels individually. more »New Adobe Webinars for Free TrainingFree webinars for Adobe Training

Drobo Delivers Data Defense
Super Heroic efforts rule the digital universe,
where we’re all acquiring and creating media at an alarming rate—media that requires vast amounts of storage space. If your clients are like mine, they are remarkably unsophisticated, sometimes even careless, about how and why to protect the valuable images we make for them. Drobo® changes all that. When they come crying to you, wouldn’t it be great to be the hero and say, “yes, I’ve got you covered!”
My lengthy Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 review now online
Studio Daily posted the review last week after pounding the thing on a number of edits
Last week Studio Daily published my Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 review. It’s a longie but a goodie as I tried to go into detail about what I really like and what I kinda don’t like about this brand new Premiere Pro. I had been pounding it hard on several projects before writing the review. I have had a few questions about exactly what kind of jobs I’ve been working on with it.
