After Effects Tutorial 24/11/11

Today in our seminar we were told to spend the three hours going through some tutorials for after effects. We were instructed to go to videocopilot.net and the first tutorial was called Fly By Title. In this tutorial I learnt how to make a convincing proffessional looking title sequence, this could be used for the titles or credits of my film, as well as being useful for any floating text i might want.
           The tutorial helped me to brush up on my after effects skills, reiterating points i already knew as well as showing me some new effects i wasnt aware of. The effects that were used in the tutorial included:
Changing text size, position and opacity.
Changing Hue and Saturation
Changing colour levels which effect the contrast
Creating Null objects, which allow you to add certain effects to your work.

Shortcuts:
Ctrl + d = duplicate
U = Shows current changes/effects on a layer
F9 = Easy Ease Keyframe
V = Select Tool
H = Hand Tool
Z = Zoom
