AE CS6 training books

Hi folks,
I searched the forums for advice on training books for the CS6 products, but all the threads are a year old, so I'm hoping to revisit the topic of training books for the Production Premium CS6 software (mainly AE, Premiere, and Photoshop).
I see from Amazon that there are Adobe Classroom in a Book copies already for CS6, but frankly, they're exact reprints of the the CS5 books I already have, same example files, exercises, chapters, etc. Very few new topics exist.
I have to be honest that I'm 1/3 through After Effects CS5 CinaB, and I don't love it. All the files are standard def ( ! ), and they don't seem to be practical from a design standpoint at all. Many of them feel incredibly dated and not something I would use in a practical design.
Can anyone recommend a good tutorial book that approaches learning AE, etc from a designer's perspective? I should indicate that I am not a beginning with any of these tools, but I'm not advanced either. I'm looking for really solid, practical, industry-used techinques to take my production to the next level. Things like how 3D tools in Photoshop work, how the new 3D tools (ie Ray Traced 3D) works in AE, advanced compositing techniques, troubleshooting footage techniques, advanced effects work, etc.
Any help/recommendations is greatly appreciated!

Mark Christiansen's "Studio Techniques" would be the relevant "industry bible". Otehrwise these days you can find tons of tutorials on the web for everything, but naturalyl the quality will be mixed. Some are good, some not so much. Until you get to a specific point in your workflows, though, most of them will not be particularly relevant either way. Perhaps video2brain's series featuring Todd Kopriva & Angie Taylor might be a good place to start, but I can't vouch for any of that - I haven't watched a tutorial in eons. I simply don't have the time.

Why can't I find certain Pantone plus colors in Illustrator CS6 color books?

Why can't I find certain Pantone plus colors in Illustrator CS6 color books? For example I want to use PMS 2296C, but it is not coming up in the color swatch book in Illustrator.

Thanks!
I actually just came across the same thing in the meantime.
And it worked!
If you bought the physical Pantone books, there is a registration/serial number on the back. You can go to Pantone and register it (https://www.pantone.com/pages/MYP_myPantone/mypProductRegistration.aspx)
Then you're able to download the Pantone manager.
There are infact 336 new colors added to the Pantone Plus series. And this is where you need to get them. Once you have them, in Pantone color manager, you go to: File/Export/Adobe Illustrator/sRB. Then restart Illustrator.
Once you go back in, the new 336 colors are available!

Final Cut Pro x10.2 training book

Does anyone know if there is an updated training book available for this version of FCP X? I just completed a course at an approved training center, and they provided me with the training book, but I've downloaded the new FCP X 30-day trial, and there are ample differences in the new version, apparently. An updated training book would be very helpful.
Thanks!
Michael

Don't sweat the small stuff. It will take you more than 30 days to get good at FCPX so the differences between the last and current revs are not really that big for you.
I confidently recommend Tom's book. Even though it's a bit out of date, the fundamentals he covers have not changed much.

Please recommend a SQL / PLSQL training book

Anybody could recommend a SQL / PLSQL training book:
1. problem-solution style,
2. from beginner to advanced level
Or do we have any website which have this function ?
I want to practice, practice, practice....
Thanks.

It has that part also.
But, this is a good book to learn oracle.
Perhaps, your requirement make me nostalgic about my childhood days when we are solving dummy question and answers from Question Bank. ;)
If you are really hungry for such oracle problem and it's solution. Then why not join regularly in OTN forum here? ;)

What is the best FCE 4 Training Book

What is the best recommendation as far as training book?
The one recommended by "Tom Wolsky"?
Or, the "Visual QuickStart Guide"
I have had good luck with the Visual QuickStart Guides in the past. But if the Tom Wolsky book is better, I'm all for it. On that note; Which book? "Final Cut Express 4 Editing Workshop"?
Steve

Hi(Bonjour)!
Tom's book is a big tutorial book with lessons. It's a very good start to learn using FCE by practice.
Lisa Brenneis's "Quickstart guide FCE for Mac OS X" is a kind of dictionnary presenting all application menus. It's less based on a day to day work.
Both volumes will teach you a lot of FCE.

Export to Build Training Book Question

Howdy,
I want to hand out a training book the shows the 2 slide-up view from the handouts export option in keynote. THe issue I have is that I also have to compile a few excel charts from co-workers, as well as create a TOC and then page number the entire book. Does anyone know how to export the handout per slide separately so that when compiling into one book, I can move around the separate slides if I need to change the final order? Thanks!

Ok, I see the key problems now, you've got
a) landscape content in slide form that you want in portrait format in book form
b) during this, you'll want to add additional content that may be portrait or landscape
I'm thinking the best idea would be to move the whole production to Pages. That way, you can lay out a repeatable look (one for single slide, one for dual slide) AND, since Pages understands Keynote, the text and other info you copy out of Keynote will still be editable in Pages. Also, remember that you can drag a high resolution image of a slide out of the Navigator pane and into Pages. It means you can't edit in Pages, but you can still make the changes in Keynote and you're just a click/drag from showing those changes in Pages.
Another idea would be to create a portrait theme and work within Keynote (fewer problems trying to copy any master slide objects to Pages) but it won't be a s Page-y Layout-y as Pages.
Here's another idea. When setting up your Pages file, be sure to use Media Placeholders and then put your images in those (instead of just bringing in the slide images). That way, if you decide to use a different slide or different build point, it's just a matter of dragging it over.

Best Aperture Training Book

Hi,
I need a training book for Aperture 2.0. At Amazon, I could only find Pro Training Series by Peachpit Press. The reviews have been somewhat mediocre. Do you have any other recommendations?
Thanks

I did not miss any points at all. The book stinks as a reference manual and a tutorial. It is better than nothing but that's about it. I have read all of your posts and others regarding the book and have noticed the emphasis of using it as a tutorial. After seeing so many wonderful comments on it and "strongly recommend" type things I just had to be the odd man out.
I can assure you that I am intimately familiar with the book as a book and as a tutorial. A more appropriate should be how to take 900 hours to walk through inane things that you could learn yourself in 90 minutes of trial and error or something like that. The sad fact is that there are no better materials for Aperture at this point. The really insane part about this and the Lightroom situation is that the tools are workflow tools and far too much emphasis is placed on adjustments, adjustments, adjustments.

Are the Adobe CS6 training video's available on DVD? My employees are not allowed internet access due too their environment.

We have recently purchased Adobe CS6, and are in need of the training video's if they are available on DVD. We are a correctional institution, and the inmates that do the work are not allowed internet access.

Hi Martinsils
I think most of the current content from Adobe and partners is online and for the latest versions, CC and CC 2014.
This might be a good place to start:
Amazon.com: training DVD adobe CS6 - Training / Design & Illustration: Software
or
http://www.amazon.com/Discounted-Adobe-Training-Bundle-Hours/dp/B00AFE3FP8
I'm not familiar with providers there other than PhotoshopCAFE. I personally was very happy with their training content.
Hope that helps,
- Dave
