I have been playing around with After Effects for a few weeks now and I have found a great website that can help teach anyone that would like to try the program for the first time. This website has great tutorials for all learning levels and has helped me get to where I am right now. I hope that this helps anyone out there that would like to get into motion graphics using Adobe After Effects.

also bookmarked.... thanks again TeamRoa..
Great tutorials there.
Andrew Kramer has created a lot of great tutorials over at video copilot. If you look through the dream gallery here you can see that a lot of dream creators have used his tutorials, including myself.
Another site that has a good bit of useful information on After Effects and other programs is Creative Cow. You can find a few good free tutorials there also.
Yea, I forgot about Creative Cow. I use VideoCopilot a lot more then anything else. One thing that Anderw Kramer always talks about is Trapcode's plug-ins like Particular. Everyone should try it out to see how awesome / amazing it really is so here is the link to Trapcodes website (Yes you can just try it because buying it is a lot of money):

"Form" is another good one by Trapcode.
There's a good tutorial by Aharon Rabinowiz for looping particle streams, including Particular, at Creative Cow. Great for creating Dreams.

What file type do you render out your video as?
Uncompressed AVI. After that I do my encoding withTMPGEnc 4.0 XPress. Normally I encode to 1920x1080 mpeg2.
