Welcome to Turbo Training, for a Adobe After Effects CS3 Essentials. My name is Co Mariama, and I am a lead animator in Los Angeles, California.

Throughout my experience, I found out that after effects is used; it is just everywhere motion videos produced. I have work in television broadcast studios, film studios and small team workshops. I am use to after effects, to create production content, commercial and promo animations, and even feature titles. After effects is an extensive program offering levels upon levels of control. It can be a daunting task to learn the application, especially if you never check it out before.

Allow me to show you the way. In this essential series, I will be your guide to many of the basic features you will need to get your animation started. We will start out with the very simple title animation. Now, we are not going to break down each feature that we use in this first overview. We have plenty of time for that later.

Right now, we are just going to have a little bit of fun, so sit back and relax, while I give you a glimpse of just some of the amazing things that you can do in After Effects CS3.
