To get the most out of this book
Download and install Adobe After Effects from Adobe Creative Cloud, which should automatically install Media Encoder. In addition to Adobe After Effects, install Adobe Bridge as it is used in Chapter 2. Adobe also provides a 7-day trial version of these applications. Also, don’t forget to download the lesson/exercise files provided with the book (the link is provided in the next section).
When opening the lesson files in the latest version of After Effects, you will get a message saying After Effects: this project must be converted from version 22.6(Apple ARM 64). The original file will be unchanged. Just click OK to open the file in After Effects.
