Complex and Advanced editing can done easily, it is like just built for creating Amazing video edits. Huge number of features are their for editing videos in different ways. Not only a lot of features are their but we can add more custom features using Plugins. Rendering speed is also amazing. When it comes for editing, to learn, it will take some time, the more complex or advanced your editing is, the more you have to learn as a beginner. Interface is best and maintenance of tabs with features are made to edit video faster and effective. So if their is a need for software to edit videos, After effects best ever choice and highly recommended. > > **Cons**: If the system has lower specifications and suppose you are rending an highly complex video that is just edited, it will take very very long time to render and sometime software will even crash. So always it needs high specs system. System will heat up quickly not only while rendering but also during editing, so cooling device is must if you want to save the system's life. > > Adobe after effects is best class video editing software. Their are a lot of software for editing videos but with after effects you can do next level editing because not only their are a lot of inbuilt features but you can add more with help of plugins. ----- ### "After Effects: The Gold Standard for Motion Design" — 5.0/5 > **Jeremy** | *March 31, 2022* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The very best thing about After Effects is the sheer power under the hood. You can do everything from basic video editing \& titles, to complex 3D rendering and motion tracking. And the tight integration with other Adobe apps, plus the familiar interface design will make jumping in easier for most industry professionals. > > **Cons**: In After Effects, you have to hit "Render" to see even the most basic video playback, and as soon as you start adding any content to the timeline, you have to knock back the preview quality to 1/4, and wait, wait, wait for frames to render. This can make editing tedious. > > I've been using AE for two decades now, and it is truly unrivalled in many ways. Despite some strong competition out there from Apple and BlackMagic Design, AE remains the industry standard, and for good reason. ----- ### "Heavy software, can be difficult to learn" — 3.0/5 > **Jonathan** | *February 13, 2022* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: There are lots of features and you can install plugins to make your workflow faster and easier and further expand the functionality and features. > > **Cons**: The features can also be a con, it can take a long time for a new user to get used to the interface, it's an overload and we end up trimming the interface down so there is not too much going on. After Effects can be really heavy on your computer and is prone to crashing. It's part of Adobe, which has some of the worst customer support in existence. ----- ### "Best Motion and Video Creating Software I have ever used." — 5.0/5 > **Sunjida** | *June 10, 2022* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have been using After effects for three years now for my video editing work and it has helped me a lot in my work. Adobe After-effects have all the capabilities possible for motion graphics, visual effects, compositing, and VFX. I enhanced my VFX skills with this software. It also features advanced tools like cutting Chroma keys, text animation, visual effects, motion, and movement tracking, and more. It can be a great tool for novices. > > **Cons**: Sometimes, Adobe After Effect can be time-consuming for rendering if the computer is slow. But if we have a powerful machine, then it's certain that it can export within minutes. All other features are outstanding, with no negatives. > > Adobe After Effects is one of the best video editing software in the current market. It integrates seamlessly with other Adobe software, making it easier to use. You can do nearly any kind of visual effects using this software and it would improve the post-production quality of the video. You can make an intro or high-quality outros for your videos and it's got a great overlay concept as well. It gives you total control, and it makes it easy for you to decide because you know what you want to do. I will recommend others to use it. ----- ### "As a student..." — 5.0/5 > **Melanie** | *October 23, 2023* | Graphic Design Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I learned to use after effects during high school. Currently I use it on my own mainly to animate my Adobe Photoshop, Indesign, or Illustrator designs. After Effects has made it very easy for me to create short videos, looping sequences or even create animations with stop motion style graphics. I think it is a program that allows you to have absolute control over your ideas and creativity, and above all, a program that is very easy to learn and understand. I really like the fact that you can modify the files within the program and link them directly after opening them in photoshop. I also like that you can import default effects or designs. > > **Cons**: I don't like that at the time of exporting, the time it takes to render in video, however short or long it may be, you have to wait a long time. In most cases, if not all, the quality is quite good and I can't complain about that. > > For now, it continues to surprise me, and this newer version has a look and feel and a working dynamic, which motivates me to learn to use the program to the fullest and create more animations. ----- Page: 1 / 19\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2050100/adobe-after-effects?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2050100/adobe-after-effects) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
