November 7, 2022

5.0

Toda la.parte publicitaria y de marketing digital audiovisual lo hacemos con este producto sumado a audición y premiere

Pros

Lo quemas me gusta del.software es su calidad. El soporte que tiene y lo completo que es, ya que sabiendolo usar y con creatividad las opciones son infinitas.

Cons

Lo.pesado que es, requiere de mucha memoria para que corra bien. Si bien es un programa que te brinda una excelente calidad en los gráficos que se editan, requiere de mucho equipo.

### "My favorite"

February 14, 2023

4.0

Overall, After Effects is one of the best software for quick video editing.

Pros

This software pleases me a lot, because it has several predefined animation executions and it helps a lot for simple and elegant work.

Cons

Exporting to video could be simpler instead of going through multiple screens.

### "Adobe After Effects and its effect on a content creator"

September 9, 2021

4.0

My personal computer is not up to date, which has paralyzed some of my projects

Pros

Adobe After Effects plays a very important role for editing videos and animations with advanced and distinctive technologies. It is a real experience for what you want

Cons

The most disadvantage of Adobe After Effects is that it requires high requirements in the host device for the program, and its price is considered relatively high compared to other programs.

### "Not Necessarily Easy to Learn But So Worth It!"

November 22, 2022

5.0

Pros

The things I've been able to make in After Effects to enhance my videos is mindblowing. I never thought I would be able to create simple animations or animated titles and chyrons but After Effects has opened up my world when it comes to video. There is so much functionality in AE that I haven't seen rivaled in any other software. It has a similar interface to other Adobe products so if you have any familiarity in Adobe, the transition is possible. It also plays really well with other Adobe products so I can easily edit something in Photoshop, bring the layers into AE, and then grab that AE file and pop it into Premiere.

Cons

This is by far the most difficult software I've ever had to learn. This isn't necessarily because the interface is bad, but more so because it is so complex. Animation, by nature, has many, many layers and learning how to edit all of those in AE is definitely a process, more so than any other Adobe software in my opinion. Things aren't always intuitive in AE, especially if you're newer to the software, but it does all start to make sense as you use it more.

### "Lo que opino sobre After Effects"

December 1, 2022

5.0

Me parece un software amigable a la hora de usar que no da un gran susto al usarlo por primera vez, es fácil de aprender. Tiene muchas herramientas profesionales de muchos programas implementado en uno solo.

Pros

Lo que más me gusta del software es la facilidad de aprender a editar vídeos de forma profesional dentro de el.

Cons

El tracking de cámara tanto como para objetos como para texto no va muy bien, tienes que hacerlo frame por frame en lo que tardarías muchísimo tiempo o hacerlo automático que es un autentico desastre.

### "Il software professionale dalle infinite possibilità"

March 27, 2023

5.0

Pros

Ricco di funzionalità rende possibile ogni tipo di animazione e video editing. Lo utilizzo per video che necessitano di effetti 3D e brevi presentazioni ma il software è davvero completo e può essere usato a livello professionale e per infiniti scenari.

Cons

Sicuramente la complessità del programma e la poco intuitiva interfaccia scoraggiano l'utente principiante. Trovo che il problema principale sia che necessita di un computer performante ma è chiaro che chi decide di utilizzare questo tipo di software non può prescinderne.

### "Adobe AE: An Editor's Best Friend"

October 10, 2022

5.0

Pros

Adobe After Effects, where do I begin? It's a classic program with a ton of features, transitions, and a whole lot more! It has a very simple interface at first glance, but when you get down to it, you realize that this program is everything but simple. It has everything you need to start editing a video, or design an intro/outro for your content! If you can think it, you can make it in Adobe After Effects!

Cons

With it being a top-of-the-line software, the price is bound to be steep. If you can afford it, this software is a great fit for anyone with at least a general understanding of editing.

### "Magic"

December 31, 2021

5.0

Adobe After Effects has been a hugely great help for me when it comes to video editing. My advice to beginners is to not be intimidated by it at first sight. You will get accustomed to it's settings a short while.

Pros

There are no rules as to how you can be creative when utilizing the systems tools. With this application you are able to achieve video editing/post-production, 2D/graphic animation and industry level special effects. I found that the basics, such as animated movements of inserted images, are quick to learn and it can be used to make a professional video portfolio of work.

Cons

My only issues are that it can take some time to get used to learning the tools and how to combine them to create desired effects. Rendering out a finale project is a slow process and can sometimes crash.

### "Un outils puissant "

February 14, 2023

5.0

La prise en main est toujours compliqué pour moi. Mais ses capacités sont infinies…!

Pros

After effect est in outils très puissant. Compliqué à prendre en main, une fois que vous avez compris son fonctionnement vous pouvez rapidement réaliser dès animation plus ou moins sophistiquée.

Cons

La prise en main du logiciel nécessite une formation approfondie.

Reason for choosing Adobe After Effects

Je possède la suite Adobe, cela permet également de faire des liens avec certaines applications ce qui accélère le processus de création.

February 16, 2023

5.0

Pros

Adobe After Effects is versatile; it has many tools for creating visual effects. I particularly liked the ability to animate in 2D, particle effects, and color correction.

Cons

The program needs powerful computers to work well or you end up wasting time unnecessarily on crushes and slowdowns.

### "It has the depth but a frightening learning curve to go with it"

January 30, 2023

5.0

Positive if slow. After Effects holds the dubiously distinction of making even high-end workstations crash under pressure.

Pros

I've been using After Effects in one incarnation or another for nearly ten years. In that time it has always had two hallmarks that marked it out: precision detail and an eye-watering interface. Let's be clear. After Effects isn't a program you can just dive into. There's a learning curve or better still, a course, to be taken before you'll get the most from it. However, saying that, what it does, it does very well.

Cons

After Effects offers high-end production effects when it comes to compositing, motion tracking and virtual studio functionalities. However, time has caught up with its complex interface and with the likes of DaVinci Resolve's Fusion node-based architecture. Now there are other options whereas After Effects. used to be the only horse in town - and faster ones too.

### "Irmão essencial para usar com o Adobe Premiere"

February 1, 2023

5.0

Programa essencial para quem trabalha ou é entusiasta da edição de vídeos com boa qualidade e boa gama de recursos específicos, não presentes em seus concorrentes diretos.

Pros

A quantidade infinita de funções que o After Effects pode realizar é impressionante e, para o usuário comum ou profissional iniciante é uma das melhores ferramentas disponíveis do mercado, com ótimo custo benefício de assinatura da Adobe. Meus recursos favoritos são o motion tracking e a integração com o Adobe Premiere Pro.

Cons

A dificuldade de aprendizagem e complexidade do programa são alguns pontos a se destacar. É preciso uma grande carga de estudos para entender como o software funciona, ainda que exista a familiaridade da interface de outros produtos Adobe.

### "After Effects"

October 2, 2022

5.0

Pros

One of the best video editing software, animations, transitions, and effects. The best feature for me is the objet track and the 3D camera.

Cons

The program consumes the device's RAM greatly and needs a powerful processor and a good graphics card to work with high efficiency

### "Best software to create animations"

November 30, 2022

5.0

It was the best software I found to animate images for use in digital signage.

Pros

It is the best software to make animations. Personally I use it to make animations for digital signage. It really has a lot of options and produces excellent results.

Cons

It has some bugs and is very heavy. If you don't have a good machine, it will be very difficult to work with it.

Switched from

[Microsoft PowerPoint](https://www.capterra.com/p/141633/PowerPoint/)

Power point was very limited and did not produce results with such quality.

October 5, 2022

4.0

This software has been a go to for me. For all my motion graphic works, i look only to After Effects.

Pros

After Effects have the tools to help you create animations and even edit videos. It is very feature packed with a wide variety of effects. I love the fact that you can integrate plugins into the software. Very great

Cons

Getting used to the interface is not on the easy side. It takes time to get used to it. It also gets heavy on your computer especially when rendering. It's advisable to use Media Encoder to render files.

### "Adobe After Effect"

February 5, 2023

5.0

J'utilise couramment After effect, il a su me convaincre malgré son interface déroutante comparée à d'autre logiciel de montage wysiwing, je suis cependant très satisfait du logiciel.

Pros

Un logiciel ou possibilités infinis qui permettent de réaliser d'excellentes vidéos de très haute qualité.

Cons

Cet outil, performant, demande beaucoup de ressources graphiques qui génèrent des latences si l'ordinateur n'est pas assez puissant. L'interface est plutôt austère pour un néophyte, cela demande plusieurs heures de pris en mains pour maitriser l'outil et ses nombreuses possibilités.PLug in complémentaire à l'achat à des prix trop élevés.
