There’s a FREE course over at video2brain taught by Todd Kopriva to help you get up to speed with the new stuff and the changes in After Effects CS6. Duration: 1 hour, 45 minutes.
“Adobe After Effects CS6 has lots of new and enhanced features in many areas of the program, from importing and compositing to effects and especially 3D animation. In this free course, Adobe Technical Support Lead Todd Kopriva walks you through all of them, including extruded text and shapes, the ray-traced 3D renderer, the 3D camera tracker, fast previews, and variable-width mask feathering. You’ll also learn about changes to performance and the user interface, and how these can affect your workflow.”
(There’s also a course on Premiere CS6.)
