These two courses are designed to get users of After Effects CS5 or CS5.5 up to speed with that latest version, CS6. Long-time user Chris Meyer demonstrates the new and changed features in detail, including showing potential applications and sharing both tips and gotchas. These courses have been designed with owners of the book Creating Motion Graphics 5th Edition (CMG5) in mind, as it uses the exercise files from that book as the starting point for most of these demonstrations, making this video set the official CS6 upgrade for CMG5.
