lynda.com Announces Release of After Effects 7 and Flash 8 Integration 2.5 hours of training in top motion graphics applications…

lynda.com, the company that specializes in self-paced career and computer training in digital media and design, today introduced After Effects 7 and Flash 8 Integration. This video training course demonstrates how to combine professional motion graphics from Adobe After Effects 7 with interactive applications created in Adobe Flash 8. From discussing the differences between Flash and After Effects to showing how to seamlessly import and export vector animations from each application, instructor Lee Brimelow explains everything involved in using the two applications in unison. The tutorial covers working with third party plug-ins, exporting QuickTime from Flash, using the Audio Spectrum and Audio Waveform effects, and creating special effects in After Effects for use in Flash. Exercise files accompany the tutorial.

“Adobe After Effects has long been the tool of choice for professional motion graphics designers, who use it for television commercial graphics, as well for film and video credits. In the past, most Flash animations have been vector-based, with flat shapes and cartoonish movement. However, with the advent of Flash video, more sophisticated After Effects graphics can now be easily leveraged inside interactive Flash communications. The hybrid design possibilities are exciting and endless. This course should help legions of Flash and After Effects artists create new and compelling kinds of work,” says Lynda Weinman, CEO of lynda.com.

Anyone with an Internet connection can access After Effects 7 and Flash 8 Integration by subscribing to lynda.com’s Online Training Libraryâ„¢. A separate DVD version of After Effects 7 and Flash 8 Integration is scheduled for release in late October.
