### "Un logiciel ultra complet qui permet vraiment des créations illimitées."

January 23, 2023

5.0

Pros

Ce logiciel est vraiment ultra complet, très précis et pointilleux, on peut modifier jusqu'au moindre détail. Il est ergonomique et plutôt simple d'utilisation quand on sait le manipuler.

Cons

Il faut un ordinateur de puissance suffisante car c'est un logiciel énergivore.

### "Adobe after effects"

February 17, 2022

4.0

Pros

Adobe After Effects has a lot of options when it comes to animating graphics.

Cons

Adobe After Effects could improve on file structure. When adding effects to files it tends to get buried.

### "Smooth Animations for All of Your Projects"

May 7, 2022

5.0

After Effects provides superb quality animations for pretty much any project you throw at it. You certainly won't be disappointed with your final productions when using After Effects.

Pros

After Effects has the smoothest animations that I've been able to find in any software. Everything produces wonderfully in your final render. In my opinion, no other software can compete with Adobe regarding animation.

Cons

Be prepared -- After Effects is not for the novice. Its functionality is next level, and I sometimes find myself getting very frustrated with how the software works. It should be more simplified like its sister software Photoshop; nonetheless, it'll get the job done. It just may take you a while to figure out how it works.

Positiva, consigliato per i professionisti e/o chi ha già un'esperienza pregressa in video editing.

Pros

Quantità di effetti e transizioniPopolarità che implica la presenza di tanti tutorial online gratuiti

### "The "After Effects""

December 26, 2022

5.0

Amazing software for all budding and professional video editors and animators.

Pros

The ability to perfectly animate objects and track a single point in the software gives a lot of room to the editor to work with and be creative with things.

Cons

The video work space is a little clumsy but then the use has to get used to it.Premier pro user takes a little time to understand the Video workspace.

### "A good helper but bad master"

May 8, 2023

5.0

This software will be real struggle for new users. As a new come I had to spent many hours to understand program to some degree of usability.

Pros

For making video editing, animations and visual effects, Adobe After Effects is one of the best on the market. If you know after some time how to handle with all features than it start to be really powerful tool. Program has many features for making more special effects up to the really complex ones.

Cons

Software for beginners is hard to understand and sometimes confusing. The time to getting used to is quite long. Also rendering is computationally demanding, so it is not very suitable for weaker machines. For many users, cheaper tipes of programs are sufficient.

### "A Confusing World of Opportunities"

May 3, 2023

4.0

It's a great skill to have, but it felt like a real accomplishment to learn how to use it, which isn't what a software should feel like.

Pros

There are so many features - if you want to do something, there is a feature to help you do it. It's compatible with all other Adobe products, which makes projects a thousand times easier to switch between softwares for whatever you need to do.

Cons

It has an incredibly difficult learning curve. I literally needed to take a course to learn how to use it, because it does not do a good job explaining what it's features are or what they do, let alone how to best use them.

### "My favorite video compositing tool"

July 17, 2022

5.0

I have been using it for more than 6 months, I like it, took a while to learn but once there, it has been able to help me accomplish a lot and develop my video editing skills

Pros

After effects is a straight forward video editing tool that enables me to put together my videos easily, because of the layers i am able to arrange my film the way I want it

Cons

It has very slow render times, even when you have the source file on your computer (which you should) the time it takes to render the finished video is unnecessarily long

December 12, 2021

It wasn't great- I ended up making a switch after the fact!

Pros

I think that it is very professional, there are a lot of features!

Cons

It was too difficult for me to learn when I am in such a high demand of editing- it took up way to much time of my editing process!

November 21, 2023

5.0

Very positive. It's been an incredibly useful tool in the editing process. Even though I have mentioned it's expensive compared to some other software on the market it is one of the best ones I've used.

Pros

I like the look of the interface. It has a lot of great features that make the process easier and easier to learn. The fact that it is used by professionals is great also.

Cons

It is quite expensive compared to other products available.

### "If you use this, invest in courses on how to use it"

June 2, 2022

3.0

If I had the budget and determination, I would keep the software and invest in classes on how to use it best. However, after the monthly payments it just isn't worth it for me.

Pros

Super simple formatting and easy to look at.

Cons

It seems all Adobe products require users to either take a course on how to use all their software, and this one is included. I ended up using a different software.

### "After Effects gave spice to my projects"

November 12, 2021

5.0

As a musician, there is only so much you can do with your songs on youtube. I went from having plain videos to showing interactive movies where the video reacts to every aspect of a song. I think After Effects helped me get out of my shell and really bring the best in my music outreach.

Pros

As a musician, I've used after effects to give a little more style to my videos on youtube. Whether it was an Intro I created, or a interactive music video, After Effects fit all of my needs. What I love about it is that it's easy to upload a template and use it as a guide for what you are looking to do. I am excited to use after effects for my upcoming projects, just so I can have the best effects going for my projects.

Cons

Some things can be confusing for first time beginners, and I had to watch plenty of tutorials to figure out everything. Eventually I learned how it all worked
