Adobe After effects tutorial

Hi all.

I want to find a good starter tutorial for Adobe After Effects CS 5,. I have googled but ends up with a couple of millions of results. I cant find a good one. For film editing that is.
Can anyone help me out?

Best regards Tim

1. Go to youtube.
2. Search "After Effects __________" and fill the blank in with what you want to figure out how to do.

It's free.

Thank you, but i find like thousands when searching for "After Effects film editing" There are tons of them. I dont even know how to import my movies to the appplication. I really need a good start.

lynda.com

It's not free but it's good.

I agree with Chippy569.
Get specific with your search, you'll find something helpful.

Thanks all. I managed to find a great beginner tut. The user has a couple of other tutorials aswell for a beginner. Great.

After Effects is not really for film editing, Adobe Premier would be more suitable, however here's a link to some basic After Effect Tuts, the first one will answer your question about importing movies into the application.

I was just about to recommend video copilot.
They're very good.

Quick question.
Do you use both AE and PP when making videos?
(AE for effects then PP for compile?)

^ yes, that would be the way to go.
