Carlsbad, Calif.-based DVD and CD-ROM producer Total Training (www.totaltraining.com) is at the top of the training pyramid. Since the first comprehensive After Effects VHS series appeared in 1997, Total Training has grown to include DVD and CD-ROM products for the entire line of Adobe software. Founder Brian Maffitt sets the highest standard with the most in-depth series for After Effects, Photoshop, and the rest of the Adobe line. What makes these products so good? The quality of the presenters and the choice to make the most definitive series of tapes for any software. After Effects 6.5 is covered on a DVD with over 40 hours of training. Photoshop CS with Deke McClelland includes 24 hours of training on seven DVDs. All Total Training products come with project files to accompany the lessons and are targeted to beginner and intermediate users.
No other training product is as ambitious or as successful in explaining complex software. This is, however, essentially high-level feature training and not project-based tutorials.
