Avid to After Effects

In the world of video editing you almost always have to use another program to get your video project done.  The company Automatic Duck now has free plugins (formerly over $400) for you to send your projects from Avid, Final Cut to After Effects. Here is a tutorial I created for Web Video Chefs about the process.

How to export an alpha channel in After Effects

I am by no means an After Effects guru, but I know how to create titles and to get things out of the program, and I feel that is the least you need to know. I am realizing with teaching software you will never know EVERY piece well, but you need to know how to get things in and how to adjust/edit things that other motion/graphic designers give you so you won't be stuck, and being stuck on a deadline is not a good feeling.
