Adobe After Effects for Beginners (Gareth David Studio)

Gareth David's free 48-episode After Effects course, about 15 hours. Part one teaches the tool: the interface, layers and timeline, compositions, the project panel, animation principles, keyframes, simple editing, easing, time stretching, precomposing, importing, shapes, the pen tool and paths, animating along a path, effects and presets, colour effects, adjustment layers, blending modes, masks, track mattes, nulls and parenting, and exporting. Part two is one full project: planning a video presentation, then animating type with images, transitions, a flag sequence, syncing to music, editing footage, complex layouts, still images, colour enhancement and a simple 2D scene. Thorough and very well structured.
