HTML Reference

• Color Reference
• Character Reference
• Appendix A provides a complete reference for the elements in the HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0 specifications.
• Appendix B addresses cascading style sheets. When used properly, style sheets separate style from document structure, as was originally intended for HTML. A full listing of CSS1 is presented in this appendix. The visual properties of CSS2 are presented in their entirety; however, the aural properties are only briefly summarized given their lack of use. The appendix concludes with an overview of some of the proprietary CSS properties supported by Internet Explorer, some of which appear slated for inclusion in CSS3.
• Appendix C lists the special characters available in both standard HTML versions and XHTML.
• Appendix D contains a quick reference for the commonly available fonts on various platforms and a brief discussion of downloadable fonts.
• Appendix E provides information about the use of colors on the Web, from how to calculate browser-safe colors, adjust unsafe colors, and form hybrid colors, to the use of color names and their numerical equivalents as used in HTML and CSS, and browser support of color names.

Here are 59 Adobe After Effects Tutorials, mostly from Creativecow.net and a few from some other sites, such as Adobe.com. These will help you learn how to use this tool made by Adobe. I hope you enjoy these. noise() – After Effects hidden gem of the week The After Effects expression language has a seldom-used random number generator that is really quite a gem. Dan Ebberts says “seldom-usedâ€? because he doesn’t believe he’s ever seen it used in a single expression he’s seen posted on the internet. It’s not the easiest command to understand and the documentation is pretty sparse but once you get past that it’s very cool. www.creativecow.net/articles/ebberts_dan/noise/index.htm Displacement Mapping in AE In this tutorial, Philip Hodgetts first looks at the affect of the Displacement Filter first, then moves on to Time Displacement before discussing a source of gradient images suitable for Displacement and Time Displacement Mapping. www.creativecow.net/articles/hodgetts_philip/displacement/in… Turning Paint Into Masks Paint strokes and masks in After Effects are both forms of vector paths, but converting one into the other isn’t always straightfoward. This tutorial shows how to take strokes from the Vector Paint effect, as well as AE 6’s new Paint tools, and turn them into masks. ... Creating Light Spill for Better Composites The key to a good composite is successful integration into the background image. Sometimes you may have a very bright background or be keying from a DV camera, which nearly always results in imperfections because of the choke or screen blur effects that are necessary to achieve good edges. Light wrap, or light spill, is a very handy in these situations. In this tutorial, John Starr Dewar demonstrates an easy way to achieve light spill with a little bit of pre-composing. At the end, John also sho www.creativecow.net/articles/dewar_john/light_spill/index.ht… Creating a Glassy Look n this tutorial, Colin James demonstrates creating something with glass planes that refract & blur footage behind them ~ much like the opening to the show, CSI:Miami. www.creativecow.net/articles/james_colin/glass/index.htm The Basics of Nesting In this tutorial, Ben Unguren gives AE newbies a simple introduction to the concept of nesting. He assumes you have an understanding of what keyframes, layers and compositions are. This is in theBasics of After Effects Series. www.creativecow.net/articles/unguren_ben/nesting/index.htm Creating Text that Blows Away Like Sand In this tutorial, Emanuel Eriksson uses masks and Particle Playground in After Effects to demonstrate how to blow a text, or any object for that matter, off the screen as if it was made up by small grains of sand. www.creativecow.net/articles/eriksson_emanuel/sand/index.htm Blowing Snow with Particle Playground When Shane Oborn first started using After Effects, the plugin that intrigued him the most was AE’s Production Bundle plugin called Particle Playground. In this tutorial, Shane demonstrates setting up a layer map and creating a blowing snow effect. This is a basic level tutorial. www.creativecow.net/articles/oborn_shane/snow/index.htm Creating Cogs and Gears in AE This tutorial from Chris Zwar is a bit of a one trick pony, but it?s a trick that?s worth knowing. Cogs and gears are nice looking design elements and are popular in all sorts of backgrounds. This tutorial includes demonstrations of Path Text, Masks and Expressions in a 4 (plus extras) part tutorial. www.creativecow.net/articles/zwar_chris/cogs1/index.htm Getting Jiggy with the Wiggler One of the problems that may plague animators is that their animation is too perfect ~ too clean. In this article, Jim Tierney demonstrates how to add in a little randomness to your animation with the Wiggler tool in After Effects 5.5. www.creativecow.net/articles/tierney_jim/wiggler/index.htm Cell Pattern and Favorites Cell Pattern is a filter that can be used to create all sorts of background animations, displacement maps, track mattes, and many other things. It uses algorithms to generate the shapes and shading you see rendered. This allows you to create thousands of different patterns and textures. In this tutorial, Jim Tierney demonstrates a few of these as well as discusses how to create and save your own After Effects favorites. www.creativecow.net/articles/tierney_jim/cell_favorites/inde… Animating a Butterfly In this tutorial, Marek Doszla shows how to animate a butterfly in After Effects 5.5 starting from a digital picture. Marek puts it in the category of “After Effects experiment”, however he uses some sophisticated features of After Effects as 3D space, expressions and time remapping that could be useful to beginners or even advanced users in motion graphics. www.creativecow.net/articles/doszla_marek/butterfly/index.ht… Building Your Own 3D Particle Generator In this tutorial, Dan Ebberts explores how you can use expressions in After Effects 5.5 to build a fairly sophisticated 3D particle generator. Our particles will respond to initial velocity, gravity, wind, drag, and much more. Using this particle generator, we’ll look at how you might create explosions, smoke, a fire blast, falling snow, and even a liquid-like flow. We’ll explore how to make each particle re-usable, which will allow us to simulate fountain-like particle streams. This one www.creativecow.net/articles/ebberts_dan/particle_gen/index…. Basic Shatter: An Introduction Now that Shatter is included in the filter set of After Effects 5.5, many users are asking how to use this effect. In this tutorial, Ben Unguren demonstrates a few very simple techniques to help get you started with Shatter. www.creativecow.net/articles/unguren_ben/shatter/index.htm 2002: An AE Odysey Dave LaRonde shares his experiences with upgrading from AE 3.1 to AE 5.5, and the production bundle no less. What would he do first? He gave himself an assignment: A fictional client arrives with a starfield and two animations, both movies of a planet and a moon rotating on their axes. My task: the moon must revolve around the planet, and it must look CONVINCING, as if it were a time lapse from the Hubble Space Telescope. Armed only with the manual, he demonstrates both the old and the new: Mask www.creativecow.net/articles/laronde_dave/planets/index.htm Making Text Fly When Marcus Geduld teaches After Effects, students often ask him if there’s a way to make letters fly onto the screen from multiple directions and form a word. They want to avoid animating each letter on a separate layer and can you blame them? In this tutorial, Marcus demonstrates a couple of techniques that will do the job, one of which uses Path Text; the other uses Particle Playground. www.creativecow.net/articles/geduld_marcus/text_effects/inde… Expression Controls in AE 5.5 With version 5.5 of After Effects, Adobe added the wonderful world of the powerful new Expression Controls. In this tutorial, Dan Ebberts looks at several different ways that expression controls can be useful in your projects. This is an Advanced Tutorial. www.creativecow.net/articles/ebberts_dan/expression_cont/ind… Morphing in AE 5.5 Morphing is a distinctive effect that is best known from the movie “Terminator 2″ as well as the Michael Jackson music video “Black and White”. In this tutorial, Chris Zwar demonstrates simple morphs with the Reshape filter in Adobe After Effects 5.5 — which is a Production Bundle only effect found under the “Distort” menu. (Intermediate to Advanced) www.creativecow.net/articles/zwar_chris/morph/index.htm Colorgrading with After Effects, part one This series is discussing a couple of approaches towards color grading using After Effects 5.5. Barend Onneweer starts out with a rather mathematical approach to match the overal color balance between shots. This procedure can also be put to good use to correct badly white-balanced video. www.creativecow.net/articles/onneweer_barend/colorgrading_1/… Fun in Particle Playground Land Roland R. Kahlenberg, CreativeCOW’s resident Particle Playground expert, shows off the versatility of Particle Playground by creating a game that incorporates collision detection against a customized grid. Please Note: This is an advanced tutorial demonstrating the use of layer maps. www.creativecow.net/articles/kahlenberg_roland/game_pp/index… Panning and Zooming in AE Pan and Zoom. This is not new in AE 5.5, but still a quandary for many a beginner to AE. In this tutorial, Matt Dallos will cover the preparation of your images, the basic theory behind making them move, real world examples, and a few ideas about how this effect can be extended to other and more advanced applications. www.creativecow.net/articles/dallos_matt/pan_zoom/index.htm Rotoscoping with Vector Paint Vector paint, introduced in Adobe After Effects 5.0 has many uses but most people don’t think of it as a rotoscoping tool. In this tutorial, Bill O’Neil demonstrates how to rotoscope with Vector Paint to create a “supercharged” sports spot. www.creativecow.net/articles/oneil_bill/as_matte/index.htm Taking a Wild 3D Ride If you have very little knowledge about animating the camera and building a 3D comp, this tutorial is for you. In this tutorial, Bjorn Sjostrom tries to remove any fear toward the 3D tools in After Effects 5.5. He hopes it will give you an relaxed attitude towards animating the camera, and building a “3D corridor” where only your imagination can stop you, the sky is not the limit but space is. www.creativecow.net/articles/sjostrom_bjorn/3d_ride/index.ht… Motion Sketch & the Smoother By using motion sketch and the smoother, you can achieve a less “computer-generated” motion in your animations, and in less time. In this tutorial, Ben Unguren introduces you to the basic techniques involved with motion sketch and the smoother. This is by no means a complete demonstration of what you can do with motion sketch or the smoother. This simply introduces you to how to use them. www.creativecow.net/articles/unguren_ben/motion_sketch/index… Synchronizing Animation to Audio In after Effects 5.5, Adobe has added the capability for expressions to access keyframe and marker data. In this tutorial, Dan Ebberts will focus on how to use this new capability to synchronize an animation to an audio track using layer markers and expressions. www.creativecow.net/articles/ebberts_dan/audio_sync/index.ht… Layer Mapping Zaxwerks Invigorator is a powerfull 3D plug-in for AE. www.creativecow.net/articles/hamad_serge/messenger/index.htm Learning to Use Proxies with AE 5.5 One of the best ways of speeding your work in AE is to use low- resolutions proxies to substitute your original footage. This will increase the speed while previewing or rendering your work tremendously, especially if you are working with 3D. A proxy can be a lower resolution still or movie and you can replace it by the original footage at any time just by clicking on the respective proxy button on your footage window. In this article, Serge Hamad explains the procedure while creating a 3d ride www.creativecow.net/articles/hamad_serge/proxies/index.htm AE 5.5’s Time Remapping Have you ever looked at your rendered animation and just thought, ‘Something just wasn’t right?’ In this tutorial, Bryan Preston demonstrates the use of AE 5.5’s Time Remapping Filter to control the speed of an animation. www.creativecow.net/articles/preston_bryan/time_remapping/in… Bending Light with Bezier Warp Bezier Warp under the distort menu is a great tool for bending objects. In this third section of our light storm tutorial, Bill O’Neil demonstrates the use of Bezier warp to precisely bend the light storm to fit the scene. www.creativecow.net/articles/oneil_bill/bezier_warp/index.ht… Motion Blur with Shutter Angle and Phase Settings Bill O’Neil demonstrates the use of After Effects 5.5’s Motion Blur with shutter angle and phase settings to create a ’smear’ of color that will become one of the most useful clips in your digital spice rack. www.creativecow.net/articles/oneil_bill/motion_blur/index.ht… Using Vector Paint to create a color wal In part one of this three part series, Bill O’Neil demonstrates using Vector Paint to create a color wall of splotches and paint blips that we will “smearâ€? across the screen. Part two will be a description of Shutter Angle and Motion Blur. In part three, Bill will spice up his favorite effect with Bezier Warp to distort the light storm to conform to the scene. www.creativecow.net/articles/oneil_bill/vector_paint/index.h… Projecting the Best Image Rick Gerard explains the use of the Light Transmission property added to Layer Material Options in After Effects 5.5. Basic and advanced techniques demonstrate only a few creative possibilities opened up by this exciting new feature. www.creativecow.net/articles/gerard_rick/Projection_tut/inde… Animating a Walk-Cycle With version 5.5 of After Effects, Adobe has included some new keyframe-looping expressions that can be very useful for cyclic animation and layer-looping. In this tutorial, Dan Ebberts walks us through the basics of how to set up and use these expressions and then use one to loop a walk-cycle as you might do in a simple character animation. (CreativeCOW.net www.creativecow.net/articles/ebberts_dan/layer_looping/index… Animating a Walk-Cycle With version 5.5 of After Effects, Adobe has included some new keyframe-looping expressions that can be very useful for cyclic animation and layer-looping. In this tutorial, Dan Ebberts walks us through the basics of how to set up and use these expressions and then use one to loop a walk-cycle as you might do in a simple character animation. CreativeCOW.net www.creativecow.net/articles/ebberts_dan/layer_looping/index… Write it with Light Mark Simpson has written this tutorial in response to the many requests (mostly by one very persistent guy for info on a sample movie he posted in the Trapcode Forum using Shine in After Effects. This tutorial was done in AE4.1 using Filters from the Cult Effects Collection and the new Trapcode Plug-in Shine. Here’s the rundown of how Mark creates the effect. www.creativecow.net/articles/simpson_mark/shine/index.htm Creating An Invisible Man In this second tutorial in the new series, “Alan’s AE Tips & Tricks,” Alan Hamill demonstrates using some keying techniques and the Displacement Map Effect to simulate a transparent, yet textured dancing man. You’ll need the Production Bundle for this one. www.creativecow.net/articles/hamill_alan/invisible_man/index… Creating a News Open: Part 8 Join noted broadcast designer Kurt Murphy as he continues his exploration of the process of re-creating the on-air identity of a local broadcast affiliate in the Pacific Northwest area of the United States. In this lesson, Kurt shows you some tricks to using Basic Text and follows with Path Text.

Read on as Roland Kahlenberg demonstrates a cool way to introduce some z-depth to our objects in AE 5.0 Production Bundle. The only source file is the COW’s very own logo. www.creativecow.net/articles/kahlenberg_roland/3d_logo_extru… Shine Video Wal In this tutorial, Jayse will show you how to use some of the cool new 3D features of After Effects 5 as well as using the new plug-in called Shine to liven up the scene. www.creativecow.net/articles/hansen_jaysen/shine/index.htm Parenting and Expressions Dan Ebberts demonstrates setting up an animation of a piston, crank, and wheel using parenting and expressions so that we only have to keyframe one of the pieces and the others follow along. We will set keyframes for the rotation of the wheel and (hopefully) the crank and piston will animate automatically. www.creativecow.net/articles/ebberts_dan/expressions/index.h… Creating Crop Marks When you import vector artwork into a pixel-based program such as After Effects or Photoshop, its edges are determined by the outmost edges of the art. In this article, Lon Clark demonstrates that by creating crop marks, you define a new edge/size for the file and that can open up new design opportunities. www.creativecow.net/articles/clark_lon/cropmarks/index.htm Kerning and Tracking Text When you’re creating text using Illustrator, it’s easy to simply type it out and call it a day. Lon Clark demonstrates by spending a little time fine tuning your letter spacing by making tracking and kerning adjustments, you’ll wind up with a slicker and more professional type treatment. www.creativecow.net/articles/clark_lon/kernandtracking/index… Creating a News Open Join noted broadcast designer Kurt Murphy as he continues his exploration of the process of re-creating the on-air identity of a local broadcast affiliate in the Pacific Northwest area of the United States. Kurt examines the design choices he made regarding the background imagery and the tools he used to implement these design choices. www.creativecow.net/articles/murphy_kurt/background/index.ht… Precomposing in After Effects Bryan Preston explores the process of precomposing in Adobe After Effects. He looks at the use, strategy and inner workings of precomps in After Effects. This is an article that is well worth reading to understand why, when and where and how to use precomps in your own AE projects. www.creativecow.net/articles/preston_bryan/precomp/index.htm Creating Surreal Clouds without Plug-ins In this tutorial, Jayse will show you another way of creating moving clouds using Adobe After Effects 5 without needing extra plug-ins. If you are unfamiliar with simple 3d in After Effects 5, you may want to read the After Effects 5.0 manual before continuing with this tutorial. www.creativecow.net/articles/hansen_jaysen/clouds/index.htm Expressions are Fun! In this tutorial, Ben Unguren will show you one way to control expressions in Adobe After Effects 5, by using another layer as a “controller” of a layer with a simple wiggling expression, giving you a great deal more control. www.creativecow.net/articles/unguren_ben/wiggle/index.htm Precomposing in Adobe After Effects Build the basics in After Effects to avoid some common problems. PreComposing is the process of creating a separate composition out of one or more layers in your open composition. In this tutorial, Barry McWilliams demonstrates two common uses of precomposing. www.creativecow.net/articles/mcwilliams_barry/precomp/index…. Write On with Expressions To Jim Howells, expressions seem to be the most powerful new feature in AE5.0 In this tutorial he demonstrates that through expressions you are able to link attributes together, between properties, between layers, across compositions. www.creativecow.net/articles/howells_jim/writeon_exp/index.h… Expressions in AE In this tutorial, Roland Kahlenberg, who is a non-programmer, intends to show other similarly inclined users of AE 5.0 that Expressions do offer quite a bit to the toolset of the conventional designer. www.creativecow.net/articles/kahlenberg_roland/expressions/i… Shooting for Chromakeying In addition to his tutorial on how to pull a usable matte from badly lit blue or green screens, Barend Onneweer has put together a list of things to consider when shooting for chromakeying. www.creativecow.net/articles/onneweer_barend/chromashoot/ind… Using After Effects and Flash This tutorial will be on using AE and Flash together, with info on what is supported as vector, the best way to get it out of AE, and when and why you should use AE to create Flash content. www.creativecow.net/articles/tierney_jim/flashing_ccow/flash… Particle Playground: CreativeCow joins the matrix Roland Kahlenberg demonstrates a small bit of what Particle Playground can do. You should experiment further once you’ve come to grips with the mechanics involved. You need the production bundle of After Effects for this one. www.creativecow.net/articles/kahlenberg_roland/particleplayg… Animating the Universal COW After Effects 5 has some powerful 3D compositing features and some new tools that make complicated animations a snap. In this tutorial we will use parenting, expressions and Boris 3D text to recreate the Universal movie opening (sort’ a). www.creativecow.net/articles/gerard_rick/universalcow/index…. Create Position Paths in After Effects With the help of the Motion Sketch plug-in included with Adobe After Effects®, you can instantly create motion path keyframes simply by drawing a free-form path. (Adobe) www.adobe.com/motion/tips/aftmsketch/main.htm Particle Playground This tutorial explores one of the most powerful of the new Adobe® After Effects® 4.0 Production Bundle effects: Particle Playground.
