Final Product What You'll Be Creating

In this tutorial I’m going to take you through the process of creating a “CMYK Color Wheel Tool”, using After Effects and Flash. You can view Parts 1 and 2 under the AEtuts section of Tuts Premium, and for the flash training we’ll jump over to Activetuts for Part 3. I’ll be using some great shortcuts and techniques with masks, shape layers and various effects. I’ll even be using a few expressions to make the process easier. I’ll also go through the render process to get a sequence of images which I will be bringing into Flash. I’ll be using one of the templates available in Flash to create an interactive executable tool for you to use in future designs and projects.

Simply a “must-see” tut that shows you how to manipulate shapes and texts in after which for me was still a mistery.
