There are TONS of reasons to become familiarized with blending modes and why they do what they do, and just as many for layer usage.

Here are sone links to Photoshop blending modes and layers, but since they are baiscally the same (After Effects has more blending modes, but these will get you a basic starting point) as After Effects, you will get some good info.

And Layers:

Those are both Photoshop sites, but they are essentially the same for After Effects.

Using layers and blending modes properly and understanding them properly is one of the most important aspects or working with both Photoshop and After Effects.

Also, try the Creative Cow website creativecow.com

They have oodles of good material.
