After Effects Apprentice 08 Nesting and Precomposing
Author: Chris Meyer and Trish Meyer

In this course, Chris and Trish Meyer share two of the core
secrets required to become an efficient After Effects user:
understanding the render order (the internal order of
operations After Effects uses when calculating masks,
effects, transformation, track mattes, and layer styles)
and the use of multiple compositions where a composition
may be nested into one or more other comps. This makes it
easier to group layers, efficiently re-use a common element
to quickly accommodate client changes, pan around large
composites of multiple layers, and solve render order
issues. Exercise files are included with the course.

The After Effects Apprentice video lessons were created by
Trish and Chris Meyer and are designed to be used on their
own or as a companion to their acclaimed book, After Effects
Apprentice. We are honored to host these tutorials in the
lynda.com Online Training Library.
