No one was born knowing everything. When we were just getting started, others in the motion graphics community were quick to share their knowledge with us. We try to return the favor by sharing information ourselves, in several ways, all of which are free:
Articles
We’ve written numerous articles and columns, including:
- The Motion Graphics column for DV Magazine from 1997 through 2007
- monthly Tip N Tricks for Artbeats since late 2005
- and our new blog for Pro Video Coalition, where many of our Motion Graphics columns are being reposted in the CMG Keyframes Archive
Click on Articles to go to a page that links to virtually everything we’ve written that’s available online.
Forums and Resources
Online forums are a great way to stay plugged into a community of like-minded users, regardless of where you live. For example, we are a regular participant on the AE-LIST email list.
(Please note that due to our busy schedules and the desire to share with the maximum number of people, we prefer not to answer questions by direct email; please participate in one of these forums, so you can share in the wisdom of many others besides ourselves!)

Font Resources
We've compiled a list of our favorite resources for commercial and freeware fonts on our Links page.
We also create training materials – books and videos – for professionals in the motion graphics field, as well as teach Advanced After Effects classes around the world. Check out our Training page for details.
