After Effects CC Essential Training covers all of the fundamentals required to get new video editors and mograph artists up to speed with this powerful program. The first two chapters explore the key concepts, terminology, and interface of After Effects, and break down the six foundations of After Effects mastery—compositions, layers, animation, effects, 3D, and rendering. Follow-up chapters introduce a variety of real-world projects designed to reinforce the skills you've learned, such as:

Building graphics such as lower thirds, logos, and credit rolls
Repairing and retiming video
Keying green-screen footage
Rotoscoping
Animating a 3D logo
Motion tracking
