Adobe After Effects Classroom in a Book (2022 release)

It lays everything out in plain, simple language and is well illustrated with photoshots

I like that it is a resource for After Effects. The plain fact of the matter is that watching Youtube videos to learn about After Effects is probably just as instructive. This textbook is alittle dry. Then I just couldn't follow a step and started to make assumptions that didn't work. This expensive textbook is good but not great. So one star for accuracy and another for difficult learning curve.
