Summary: Leaves Classroom in a book - in the dust!
Comment: I am learning AE, and had been going through the CIB from Adobe, and after seeing reviews for this book, decided to give it a try.
What a difference! - I went through just a few examples and learned a lot, far more efficient that the CIB, and with the extra Effects makes this book worth every nickle.
If you are learning AE, BUY THIS BOOK!
(Note that AE 6 is coming out in Aug 2003 - so this will be a little out of date in a few months - but still will be the best set of books out there).

Summary: Good book
Comment: This is my second book for AE, i have the first edition and second edition now. It was a great book also.

At first its a little more oriented for begginers but at least they show you how they have done some promos for some places. Now, if they do some effects to a movie, change its color, or just change anything.. they tell you why they wanted to change it. They give you a CD and the book is like an instruction booklet on how to use the CD, they give you instructions step by step on how to make the animation that they did.

I recomend this book!

I have been using AE for about a year and some months with this book I still have learned some new tricks. They also give you Free plug ins from various programs like Boris, Continuum etc.

Summary: Excellent
Comment: I won't reiterate the praise that other reviewers have lavished on this book, though I share their sentiments. I just want to note that the book might be a bit overwhelming to absolute beginners. The information comes in a flood. By all means buy this book, but take the time to get familiar with AE's interface first, before launching in on the Meyer's text.

I was an occasional AE user who had to suddenly focus on the software for a particular project. I was delighted to find that the Meyers answered almost all of my nagging, long-term questions about the program as if they had received a printed wish list from my subconscious. I look forward to ramping up my AE skills with their other works.
