Here’s two for the price of one (nothing).

After Effects does not automatically keyframe adjustments, so to save yourself some heartache, just remember to hit the stopwatch icon before you start adjusting things. I don’t have a clever way to help you remember to do it, I’m just hoping that by mentioning it I’ll save someone some pain.

This second one is so important, that I’ll probably end up posting it again later. Save your work. All the time. Whatever you are doing, whatever software, just press ‘Save’ (apple+s on the Mac). Do it now. Do it all the time. This was drummed into me by the lovely and talented Joe Bennett at City of Bath College/Bath Spa University many years ago, when he would come into the room we were working and switch off the power to the whole room. We learnt the lesson. Save. Thank you.
