If I understood you correctly, are you wanting to do some basic animation in After Effects? I use Premiere Pro CC package for video and photoshop - and any basic 'animated' stuff I tend to do in Premiere itself. Easy enough to do with a layered photoshop project. If you've any questions let me know and I'll see if I can help :)
Thanks @ashtv. Yes, you understood correctly. I just installed the trials of PP an AE and did my first edit in PP. I'm gonna pay for a license and start the learning curve. I just spent a couple of hours figuring out how to animate a basic intro for a @ddaily video and I think I'll manage to work it. Have you done any tutorials on this kind of thing? As soon as I hear the word 'layers' my eyes glaze over ha ha!
Great, have fun exploring the applications!
No I've not done any video tutorials (yet) but it was something I've been considering.
Tailoring something towards content creators on @Oracle-D perhaps.
I'm not actively part of the DTube community but it could be something I'd like to try more of if I have something constructive to contribute. I'd happily give help where I can.
Cool. I watched the @oracle-D presentation last night and was thinking of how I could leverage that for guitar tutorials. It's worth some more thought for sure!
