Since 2005, when we heard of the forthcoming Adobe Master Collection, following the Adobe-Macromedia merger, we've been on a mission to master that collection. We admit to not really feeling as if we have gotten there, yet, and that's why we devote hours every week to learn more.We've been enamored with After Effects (AE) since 1993 when it's founder, CoSA had it, before it went to Aldus and inevitably Adobe. The learning curve for AE is a bit steep. It's not because it's a difficult app to learn. It's not. If you're already working working in Premiere Pro (Pr) you have many of the basic skills. However, AE is something of the world's largest sweetest onion which has to be unpeeled one layer at a time and some days it feels as if we'll never make it to the center of the thing.Our primary learning resource is the Classroom in a Book (CIB) series plus Learn by Video also known as Video to Brain or V2B. To that extent, since we have studied both of them for AE CS5, this CIB is a very disappointing book. This CS6 edition is pretty much the same thing as the one for CS5. A few chapters have minor revisions. The only significant difference is that the very valuable chapter on the Roto Brush Tool, which was new for CS5, has been replaced with the new CS6 feature on the 3D Camera Tracker. However, we count 24 other significant features since CS5. We cannot recommend someone spend $38 for a 22 page chapter. Therefore, we have to think of this as a beginner's book and not a source of continuing education for existing users. That's unfortunate.Nevertheless, for a beginner, this is a great book. After Effects tends to intimidate people not familiar with it.
