If you’re like me, just starting out in After Effects and a little over-whelmed by the interface, I’ve got a great tip for you. Check out the basic tutorials at: http://www.videocopilot.net/basic/ They’re FREE and will get you building something sexy in less than 40min. I’d rave about them more… but I need to get back to Part II of the Titles tutorial. Am half way to building the demo above and am learning a ton along the way!
It certainly beats lengthy email exchanges. It’s better than conference calls. And it’s far less time consuming than taking screen shots. In fact, the Share My Screen feature, found in the Adobe creative tools pictured above, has already saved me thousands of dollars in travel, meeting time, and productivity.
Rather than give lengthy and detailed explanations in email, I much prefer to share my screen to communicate new concepts, show co-workers how to do things, or even give usability feedback.
Not only can you share your screen – but you can let your audience take control and share theirs as well. All you have to do is click on File > Share My Screen and let the Adobe Connect Service guide you. Happy Sharing
