Join Richard Harrington for an in-depth discussion in this video What you should know before watching this course, part of Motion Control 3D: Bringing Your Photos to Life in Three Dimensions with After Effects and Photoshop CS6.
If you've never opened up Photoshop or After Effects, this probably isn't the best class to start with.…Fortunately, there's a bunch of great training here on lynda.com that you can explore.…Be sure to try out the Essential Training titles for both After Effects and Photoshop…before watching this course.…We also have a Documentary Photo Techniques course using Photoshop and After Effects that…I produced that you can take a look at here online as well.…Now we will take a lot of fundamental skills and build them up, but again, if you've never…launched Photoshop or After Effects, don't start here. We're going to go fast, and we're…going to move through a lot of different features quickly.…
I promise it's clear and understandable, but you're going to want to come in with the foundation first.……
