I knew I would have 2 tutorials done in the same week! Mintues to spare.

In this tutorial we will be animating layers with the intelligent shifting of time and space. This new tutorial has many great tips throughout including some powerful expressions used in a very practical manner.

This is the first tutorial of the week and one more should be out soon as promised, probably tomorrow.

Now the good/bad news, we are pushing back the release date for the new website just a little longer to make time more detailed testing and to add some last minute features we recently discovered. Should definitely be worth it.

In this new tutorial we will be creating some powerful energy using the AE built-in particle system. With a little work and some patience you might be able to create something this cool.

The project file contains the tutorial files as well as my original comp at HD resolution for anyone that wants to see exactly what I did.
