ABSTRACT
It’s taken some time to get to the chapter that I’m sure a lot of you have been itching to get to, the Effects chapter! When I teach my two-day ‘basics’ course on After Effects I always concentrate on leaving the effects till last because you need to have a good, solid understanding about how the keyframing and software functions before you can make the most of the effects available to you. The other reason is that the Effects menu is naturally what most people head straight for when they open up After Effects so I find that most users tend to get to know this menu pretty well without a lot of persuasion.
