After Effects Tutorials

After effects has proven to be a little more complicated than I thought to learn from the help section. Anyone have any suggestions on tutorials, CDs, or books? Also, a premiere pro version to help with the title creator would be nice also.

Thanks.
 
Adobe has their "Classroom In A Book" series.

It comes with a pretty thick book, and a CD (or DVD) of sample footage to use that corresponds to the exercises in the book. Not terribly exciting stuff, but it covers it all.

Maybe your local community college has a night-school course in things like these. Those are fun, and cheap too. :)
 
I made my way through Lydia Wienmen's Hands on Training Book and it was good at providing the basics of AE. Although, I must admit, I've forgotten most of what I've learned. If you really want to be good, you need to find an excuse to use it on a daily basis. Much like anything, if you stop practicing, you forget.

And if you don't want to spend any money, you should check out creativecow.net. They have a bunch of great tutorials.

at Adobe website there are plenty of tutorials for their products, plus at creatvecow.net as well. in fact if you go into premiere pro forum, you get to see a lot more listed there, they are all free tutorials.
