Every once in a while we like to add a new member to the TUTS+ family. Today we’re launching AETUTS, a fantastic new tutorial site dedicated to Adobe After Effects. Our contributors will be teaching you some brilliant motion graphics and special effects techniques. We’ll be publishing 2 – 3 new tutorials each week, so head over to AETUTS and take a look!

Read on to learn more about the launch of our fifth TUTS+ site!

Why Adobe After Effects?

Since two out of four of our TUTS+ sites are dedicated mainly to Adobe Creative Suite products (one of them being VECTORTUTS), it makes sense to cater to another section of Creative Suite users. We also think this will give us an opportunity to try something new and build a site around a different type of tutorials, in this case, high-definition screencasts like this tutorial from super-talented AETUTS editor Lloyd Alvarez.

We’ll also be publishing tutorials on how to integrate other programs into After Effects, such as Adobe Illustrator. In fact, After Effects is a good program to use if you want to animate some of your vector illustrations!

If you think you have the skills to create a screencast or text and image tutorial for AETUTS, it’s easy to familiarize yourself with the guidelines and pitch your idea. We’re hungry for user contributions and pay $150 USD for an accepted tutorial.

Whether you use Adobe After Effects or not, we hope you’ll throw your support behind AETUTS by telling a friend or showing it some love on StumbleUpon .
