getting started

Hey guys, I just purchased after effects 6.5 and I never used this program before. I was wondering if there is a tutorial or something to just help me get started. thanks

start at the bottom and work your way upwards if you want a slow introduction
start from the top to get wet and exited right away.

Didn't you notice the Sticky that says Favorite Free Tutorials? That sticky is loaded with good sites.

Creativecow.net has all kinds of great tutorials, but if you are just learning After Effects, I'd suggest buying the "Adobe After Effects Hands-on Training book" by Lynda Weinman. It comes with a CD rom with sample projects and lots of tutorials that will teach you the basics.
