So excited to see the new version coming together so nicely! I would love if one of ya’ll could point me to a tutorial on how you do these effects. I am pretty fluent in Premiere but haven’t touched After Effects yet.
If you know Premiere (and Photoshop) you can apply some of that knowledge to AE. I think the best collection of tutorials is this one: http://www.videocopilot.net/tutorials/
Some of the most important concepts to learn are keyframes, masks and tracking. Watch a few tutorials and experiment. And if you have specific questions I don’t mind helping!
