Title: | Adobe® After Effects® CS6 Visual Effects and Compositing Studio Techniques |
---|
Description
This is the only book to focus exclusively on the creation of
visual effects for After Effects, and is a one-stop resource for
anyone who wants in-depth explanations that demystify the realm of
visual effects and how they were created, thanks to veteran author
Mark Christiansen's friendly and accessible style. A thoroughly
packed, informative read, this masterful guide focuses on
explaining the essential concepts, features, and techniques that
are key to creating seamless movie-quality visual effects. Users
who are comfortable with After Effects will find a helpful review
of the fundamentals—managing footage, viewing and editing
layers, animating type, and more—so they can learn how to
work smarter and more efficiently. Readers of all levels will learn
core techniques for effects compositing including color matching,
keying, rotoscoping, motion tracking, emulating the camera, and
concluding with using expressions in After Effects, written by
contributor and expert Dan Ebberts. The final section of the book
delves into creative explorations, demonstrating professional
effects that readers might want to re-create.
Readers will also find comprehensive coverage of all that's new in
CS6, including variable mask feathering, Rolling Shutter Repair,
Camera Tracker, and the new ray-traced 3D rendering engine which
allows users to quickly design in 3D space.
Included with the book are files used for many of the techniques in
the book: Sample clips and projects include HD footage from Pixel
Corps and Artbeats, as well as demos of plug-ins that you can use
to experiment with in your own effects.
