I highly suggest that you invest in the best training available, and that is Tital Training. Or, if money is an issue, you can get training for $25 for the month at http://www.lynda.com or a little more from http://www.vtc.com
Watch the training, follow what they do. Then go through all of the online tutorials you can find. |

Tital or Total?
There is no such thing as Tital Training, Steve... at least not on the internet...
Did you mean Total Training? (BTW I enjoy your website, it is one of the first ones I came across when starting to learn DV & media stuff). |

Creating Motion Graphics with After Effects, Vol. 1: The Essentials
by Trish Meyer, Chris Meyer http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1578202493 This book is absolutely one of the best ways to get up and running with motion graphics in AE. Good luck! |

I agree with Nick that the Meyers put out fantastic books. And they are such cool people as well. But for me, personally, I need to see someone actually do it first, so I can then read more about it and get better that way.
And yes, it is Total Training. I need to start using the spell checker I guess. I installed it, perhaps I should use it? |

I agree, get the Chris and Trish Meyer Book to start, it is an amazing book.
Then get the total training DVDs, they will take a long time to get through but they teach you basically everything about the program. If you are a student or gov worker you might be able to get them for half off.
