January 2, 2023 5.0 Pros If you are familiar with photoshop, you can learn fast how to use it. Mostly the same, the layers being video files. Only your imagination is the limit, I am pretty sure many Holywood grade artists use it as their daily driver for VFX. You can achieve fast compositing based effects or just animate with a few clicks. Cons Not very user friendly, specially for beginners, but this software has become the world standard, so there is a big educational database available in almost any language. It is worth the efforts, because of the capabilities you get later. Review Source Alexander M.

Review Source NH Nese H. video director Media Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The good for creative projects" December 22, 2021 5.0 I use it for 2d animations and intros.

Administrator Online Media Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "My experience" October 27, 2022 5.0 Pros Adobe After Effects transition and effects are my most loved features, they are because Adobe After Effects went extra miles to provide modern transition package, and special effect I use for logon intro's, videos and a lot more that is needed to be done Cons Requires high capacity computer, does not work well on my home computer, it lags Review Source KJ King J. CEO Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "After Effects, the BEST for VFX" March 29, 2023 5.0 I love AE. I have been able to bring my clients' vision to life every time. Pros From simple transitions to setting stuff on fire and putting that fire out with snow, After Effects will most definitely meet your every video/movie editing need.

Instructor Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best Compositing Software" August 28, 2022 5.0 Compositing, 2d animation, arranging multiple comps in a row, keying, and special effects, are a handful of characteristics of a vast compilation of features After Effects offers. Highly recommend. A must for every editor or special effects fun. Pros When it comes to compositing different elements and lots of items, After Effects is the best software out there that you can trust. What I like most is its ability to create lots of linked comps in a single project. This makes organizing a breeze. Cons I think that After Effect’s 3d modeling is a supplement and not one of its main features. Better off.

I did a lot of rotoscopy. It is extremely easy to use and doesn't need that high configuration Pros The best thing about after-effects is now you can get your chroma/green screen removed in just a few minutes Cons The thing that I dislike is the cost of the software. As someone with not to good financial background. This software is pretty expensive Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Logo Designer/Graphic Artist Graphic Design Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Adobe After Effects Regular Usage Review" April 19, 2022 5.0 Overall experience using this was amazing, felt like I was using something rare and exquisite Pros I'm very Impressed and more intimidated by the software's capabilities, it is a monster of a video editing/animations software that is well suited for all video use. I also love the render options. Cons I dislike how hard it is to get used to the software in order to do the out-of-the-world graphics and animations. The render times are a dislike as well, but that comes with all video editing software Review Source aA ahmed A. freelancer Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "review adobe after effects " December 15, 2022 5.0 Great experience and I like working on this program..The pleasure when the work on it is completed and the final project export Pros 1- creating 2d animation2- creating 3d elements3- color correction4-many visual effects5- camera animation Cons 1- not support Arabic2- Large video in export3-It requires high-capacity devices Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Graphic Designer Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Sometimes the complex is simple" November 20, 2022 3.0 I like it! Pros My experience with this program is very good. I have to admit that at first it was very difficult for me to use it, but as time went by I loved the fact that it is compatible with other programs and how versatile it is. Thanks to this program I have been able to do a lot of audiovisual work. Cons It would be better if the option to illustrate within the program was optimized so that animators like me save more time when working. Review Source Santhiya R.

Digital Product Designer Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Pietra miliare del video editing (ma non semplice il primo approccio)" January 26, 2023 5.0 Il software come tutta la collezione Adobe fa parte della storia. Non facile approcciarsi per un neofita ma basta poco per orientarsi e poter godere di tutta la sua potenza. Negli anni l'interfaccia è rimasta pressoché simile, con qualche miglioria a livello di gestione dei contenuti e suddivisione delle aree di lavoro Pros La gestione dei keyframe nella timeline, la qualità e le modalità di esportazione Cons L'interfaccia non "immediata" per chi non ne fa un uso frequente e l'impossibilità di rendere collaborativo un progetto e la necessità di determinate specifiche tecniche per lavorare senza intoppi o rallentamenti Review Source AM Aaron M. Owner Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "After Effects, easy to use, hard to justify cost" January 18, 2022 4.0 Pros Adobe products are intuitive and easy to use if you can handle a learning curve. I’ve also found after effects to be extremely stable compared to other softwares. Cons The price. I can’t justify a subscription to a software when there are free and cheaper softwares out there with similar or better features.

It needs more options, and it's a bit hard finding some options in the modeling. Review Source MD Monica D. Graphic Designer Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Vital software for any designer" December 2, 2022 4.0 Overall, a worthwhile and efficient software I wold recommend to other designers! Pros Having presets in the software already makes my job much more efficient and therefore more productive - I use it so often it's almost always open which usually would mean it runs slowly but it and media encoder together are a powerhouse of software. Cons The UI could be more friendly on the lines of XD, there are times I'm looknig for a feature for quite a while because it's not immediately obvious where it is Review Source Similar Products Featured
