A tutorial with difference.

In this series, I'm teaching my wife all about @AdobeVideo After Effects. Mrs Cactus has never used AE before, but wants to learn. You're welcome to join us in this episode as we tidy up the previous shot, making sure the background is lined up with the foreground, which gives us a good excuse to look at:

- Child and parent layers to link layers together
- The fabled Pickwhip
- The Levels effect for brightening images
- Copying a mask from one layer to another
