ABSTRACT
While the Obsolete effects may not be invited to the other effects’ Christmas party, they can still serve a purpose. We’ll cover them briefl y in this chapter, just to be complete in covering each effect. But that doesn’t mean that they’re worthless. For most professionals, there are much better choices out there to accomplish everything that these Obsolete effects do. But if you fi nd certain aspects of After Effects intimidating (such as the often daunting text animation engine), then you might actually fi nd some help in the ghetto of After Effects’ Obsolete effects.
