I was going to start some online training on VTC.com, I was also thinking about signing up with http://fxphd.com/ because they are supposed to be for advanced users.
Anyway... on VTC I was going to watch 3dsmax, after effects, premier, sound forge and maybe the photoshop one too. I hope they are advanced enough, because im pretty good at using most programs.... Do you all have any suggestions for other tutorial videos? What other software do you all find to be highly helpful in video creation?
Has anyone here tried Fxphd.com?

No experience with those training sites - would love to read about your experience though.
As for other software: Apophysis, UltraFractal, Carrara and Bryce on the low cost side, Combustion on the expensive side - and of course all those you already mentioned. (Oh, and don't forget Illustrator)

Take the After Effects Basic Training first and then move into the huge free tutorial section. If you already know the basics in AE, I'd suggest watching it anyway. There's a lot of little pointers he gives that come in handy. When you get to the tutorial section work your way from the oldest to the newest tutorials. Andrew covers a lot of stuff in the early tutorials that you'll need to understand some of the later ones.

Thanks Kelmedia, but I already watched everything on videocopilot :P :)
Im looking for advanced training because I am already familiar with most of After Effects, I heard that fxphd was advanced training but I don't know anyone who has actually used it. Some of their instructors have made graphics for MTV and Range rover commercials.
Varius your right I should learn illustrator, I don't know anything about that one.
And thanks Frenchtoast, ill look into lynda
An advertising agency has offered me a job, im not sure if im going to take it but they have made some pretty high level stuff and I feel like I would like to watch a bunch of tutorials on many different programs.

Fxphd is better than lynda in my opinion. Saw only some from fxphd and it was advanced (but very specific stuff).
