After Effects

• It's my first time to learn how to use After Effects
• When I do the masking via After Effects, I have to import the video to each layer. When I did render videos, I have to wait for a long time.
• Today, I compressed each video by QT Pro again. Checking together with Shira, we found the re-compressed quality is still good enough to fit on our final interface and it save me time to work.
• Originaly, I thought, the ".aep" After Effects file contains lots of video, it should be a large file. But after exporting, I am surprised found it's very small!
• the masking took me long time because I have to pay attention to the position alignment on same background, to be careful and more details on characters overlapping part.
• I have to speed up to give Shira final file for coding
• Shira found solution to use Flash replacing Director. I am not quite understand how, she suggested me to have a look on her blog which is helpful! http://nln-sg.blogspot.com/
