Up first is a fantastic tutorial from Peter Wiggins showing how you can using retiming behaviors to slow down, freeze, speed up, or loop a particle emitter animation. Really cool stuff - see it here.

Brian Maffitt, who has been teaching After Effects for centuries (ok, since last century Happy) has put out a tutorial on how to use Motion with some Artbeats footage to create a nice little effect. I learned After Effects from his tapes back at version 4.1 (along with Chris and Trish Meyers' excellent books), and he's a great teacher. Here, he covers some basics of using Motion, including masks, blend modes, filters, and keyframing.
