- After Effects has a huge library of effects and it would be too massive to list and describe all of them
- Effects are less like one button solutions and more like ingredients that you learn to mix together...not relying to much on any one of them
- Play with them to see what you can do with them...customize them to make them your own
- Don't be afraid to Google tutorials for effects as well.
- Effects are plug-ins in the application that allow us to manipulate footage in a wide variety of ways
