Using the Wiggler in After Effects
The Wiggler is great when you need random keyframes applied to a layer's property. Scale, opacity, movement, even a plug-in's values can be 'wigglered.'This feature will save you from having to create dozens if not hundreds of keyframes if you're trying, for instance, to make a layer move randomly or flicker.

Using Your Own Placeholder Text in InDesign 
The Fill with Placeholder Text command in the Type menu fills one frame or a series of linked frames with placeholder text. This text serves as a temporary substitute for the text that will actually appear in your finished document. You can use this placeholder text to create templates or serve as a placeholder for text content in a document that's in process. The placeholder text produced by InDesign is known as 'Lorem Ipsum,' and it's a faux Latin intended to represent the space real words would occupy (and that's all). With InDesign 2.0, however, you have the option of replacing InDesign's default Lorem Ipsum text with placeholder text of your own.

Creating visual depth in a project can really catapult an animation from boring to captivating. After Effects does 3D very well, but there's more to it than simply moving layers or objects around in 3D space.
