I had a thought.  It might be totally dumb, but I'll throw it out there all the same. 

I'm new to AE and am busily trying to learn it through the manual, Creating Motion Graphics, and the   vast resources available online.  I'm learning a lot everyday, but the more I learn the more I realize just how much more there is to know and master, and that its going to take a looooong time. 

Now, I've thought about total training's AE series', but I already purchased their Total Premiere 6, a series they say is good for total beginners up to total experts, and I found it to be totally not what I expected.  I'd call myself a comfortable intermediate user of Premiere, far from a pro, and I found myself saying a lot of either "yeah, I knew that," or "oh, wait, go back and tell me more about that - oh, you're not going to... ok then".  That series would be great for a beginner to novice user of Premiere, but definately not a pro, in my opinion anyway. 

Then again, I've heard pretty great things about the TT AE tapes, plus I am a total beginner, so maybe they're right for me. 

So what I'm proposing is a temporary trade.  Anyone with the TT AE series who is new to Premiere and would like to trade their series with mine for, say, one or two months, let me know.  I realize the AE series is far more expansive and expensive than the Premiere series, so maybe we can work out a deal with me paying for shipping or something. 

I'm not looking to tape off someone's series or steal them, just be able to spend some time watching them.  I hope that my being the moderator of the video editing forum, a sub-forum found here on Adobe's Premiere user-to-user forum shared between the Mac and Windows forums, is enough to speak for my credibility. 

So if you're interested or have any thoughts on this or want to tell me this is a dumb idea and here are my five reasons why, please let me know.
