VFX History: After Effects

Question

I’ve done another deep dive into VFX lore and this time it is about After Effects itself. The origin story is crazy and to tell it I got to speak to Brian Maffitt (the first video tutorials creator) and Chris and Trish Meyer (the beta-tested v1 and wrote the first book on learning AE). I also discovered an emulator capable of running AEv1 and got JakeInMotion and SternFX to try it out.

If you have a spare 45 minutes, I hope you’ll enjoy learning a bit about the early days of After Effects.

ShiveringCactus, what a brilliant project. Thank you for putting this together! Really appreciate you sharing it with the community. Adding it to my watch list for the weekend, and I hope folks here block out the 45 minutes.

Thanks for the deep dive!

Thanks,

Nishu
