Advanced | 7h 17m | Released on 9/14/2011 | 1.96 GB | Project Files are NOT INCLUDED | Required Software: After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator

Master the Art of Animating Text to Voice and Music

Kinetic typography is an art form that combines text and motion to express ideas in the form of animation designed to accompany spoken word or music. In this unique workshop, art director, author, and motion graphic designer Angie Taylor shares her considerable knowledge of this form. You?ll work along with her as she builds an complete kinetic typography project from start to finish. Along the way you?ll learn how to create and animate text layers directly within After Effects using animators and 3D features, set up Photoshop files for animating in After Effects, and use a variety of effects and techniques to create numerous text animation styles within a single project. You?ll also get lots of tips and tricks for animating 3D cameras and lights and learn how to use expressions and scripts to simplify the processes involved.

The contents of this course include
* Working with Audio
* Preparing Source Files
* Structuring Your After Effects Project
* Working with Shapes
* Optimizing Performance
* Animating Text
* Creating 3D Animation
* Using Expressions to Create Motion
* Rendering Your Final Movie

Digital-Tutors – What’s New in After Effects CS5.5

Advanced | 1h 20m | Released on 9/1/2011 | 549 MB | Project Files 130 MB | Required Software: After Effects CS5.5

In this series of lessons we’ll learn how to use the great new features in After Effects CS5.5 to speed up our projects and unleash a new level of control.

We’ll begin this project by looking at the new vibrance and black and white effects, which allow us new creative controls. Then we’ll look at the new Camera Lens Blur and 3D Camera Depth of Field blur features, which are vastly improved and allow for natural bokeh and depth blurs. Then we’ll learn how to quickly do repetitive placement tasks using the align panel. Then we’ll learn how to use the new 3d light falloff features to create more realistic lighting. Then we’ll take some time examining the new Warp Stabilizer effect which stabilizes footage quickly and cleanly in a matter of clicks. Finally, we’ll examine the new Stereoscopic 3D camera rig and how we can use it with our 3d projects for a quick stereo experience.

Digital-Tutors – Utilizing Shading Networks in 3ds Max

Beginner | 1h 32m | Released on 9/1/2011 | 433 MB | Project Files 9 MB | Required Software: 3ds Max 2012

In this collection of lessons, we will explore the process of creating and using shading networks within 3ds Max.

Understanding how to create and modify shading networks is an important skill – one that is essential for recreating the various materials and the different types of surfaces found in the real world. This course will explore topics such as using maps to control transparency, bump, and displacement effects, understanding mapping coordinates to control texture placement, applying textures to particles, combining and layering details from multiple textures, and many other topics that are designed to help you become a stronger, more efficient 3ds Max artist.

Digital-Tutors – Processing Multiple Images using Actions in Photoshop

Intermediate | 23m | Released on 9/1/2011 | 192 MB | Project Files 71 MB | Required Software: Photoshop CS5

In this series of lessons we?ll learn how to quickly remove dust and do other processes to many images. Using actions to speed up our photo editing workflow, we can complete repetitive tasks quickly and easily.

We?ll begin this project by evaluating a workflow without actions and see how slow it is. We will then create our action, open a camera raw image and set the color corrections. Then we will evaluate ways of content-aware fixing areas and recording them into actions. We will then learn how to craft a fast correction workflow by utilizing custom keyboard shortcuts. Finally, we will put the finishing steps on our action and use batch automation to process all of our images.
