Books
Many know us for the books we write about our craft, including Creating Motion Graphics with After Effects (widely used as a textbook, and considered the bible of its field), as well as the our entry-level book, After Effects Apprentice.
We are proud that our books have become valued references, enjoyed by beginners and professionals alike. Our two current titles are Creating Motion Graphics, 5th Edition and After Effects Apprentice, 2nd Edition.
Please click the covers below for more details on each book, including the Table of Contents, Index, excerpts from chapters, plus a guide to earlier editions and foreign translations:
