The first tutorial that I'm diving into is the After Effects 6 introduction tutorial. Wanting to pursue video editing I'm trying to keep myself on the top notch of the newest software out on the market to date. After effects 6 takes 64 bit performance to a whole new level becoming faster and smarter than ever. After effects is a sophisticated motion graphics software that all of the high market producers use. The new software has giving us the power to play multiple scenarios of scenes without having to wait for a previous file to render, which normally was a problem in the previous software's. Also one of the newest attributes is being able to turn 2d videos into a 3d piece. With the addition of 3d TV's this allows you to stay atop the market. Also as the 3d goes the new software allows you to easily manipulate text shapes and fonts into perfect 3d matched pieces. Now one of the best items that is new in CS6 is the ability to bring in vector based pieces that maintain there full edit-ability inside After Effects! I can't wait to be able to get my hands on this new software and see what I can create with AntlerShed Outdoors!
The next tutorial I'm going to discuss is what's called Rolling Shutter Repair in CS6, there was a new addition is CS5.5 called the warp stabilizer, which allowed you to perfectly smooth shaky footage. This was a great addition for those of us who didn't have the money to afford sliders because we could create a sliding motion smoothly.
What this has helped us with is that if we are shooting with our DSLR's and we turn them to portrait to create a different look, we are not allowed to change the direction of the shutter from top to bottom like on most video equipment, to right to left giving us better stable motion with our movies. Also this allows us to even use video equipment such as cell phones to contribute to our episodes. This is unheard of in recent video markets and anything that can give us an edge is what we need!
Last is the illustrator intergration into After Effects. This also is an unheard aspect as before you would have to change your file to the size preferred and bring it into your video software, being able to quickly manipulate size and color without loosing any quality is AWESOME!
One of the newest things that CS6 enables also is the ability to convert and illustrator vector into a 3d shape, which can give you a new look to your logos, or rolling credits. Also it now allows you to instead of copying and pasting each shape of your vector file and importing them separately you can now bring your entire outlines into after effects and the paths will be there for complete editing!
After Effects CS6 is going to be a great product that will enable myself and Devin to put together high quality productions that can hopefully catapult AntlerShed Media to the next level of business!
