I use it to make classes for EAD. Use to make some special effects on the movies for training or for publicity. As a small company, I'm the only user of it. A slide with movement always attracts more the attention of the viewer and this is why I start learning and using it.
- Add movement to a static image
- Capture the attention of the viewer with effects and plug ins
- Fast rendering
- Integrate it more easily with Audition would be a nice improvement
- Change of color settings
- Erase tool
- Dynamic text animation
- Puppet pin (Ctrl+P)

It is part of the Adobe Creative Cloud that I sign monthly and is full of possibilities. Most of them I've not yet explored. Adobe has a large library of tutorials and we can find a huge number of tutorials on YouTube for free to teach how to use it better or find some plugins easily.

It is a great animation and design program for videos from small to large clients. It’s been fast, reliable, and I like their updates and customer support. I use it for motion graphics in the advertising field and for movie and tv promos. It always meets the needs of the agency and those needs of the client for revisions and changes.
- Fast animation
- Copying and repurposing template files
- Reliable renders
- Easy interface
- Some of the scripts can be difficult.
- Some plugins could work more reliably.
- More free trials for plugins would be good.
- It’s positive for being fast and efficient.
- It’s easy to address client notes.
- It has great new updates and features with each new version.
After Effects is more versatile for animations than Premiere for sure. And now, with the .mogrt templates, it can be great for keeping consistent animations and branding guides when sharing work with other animators
and editors. I also like their 3d plugins and advanced third-party vendors, like video Copilot and Element 3D.
It's much faster to render in real-time and see your work in After Effects.

Other editors and designers also use After Effects for updating graphics packages. Generally, when a project is saved and exported, it can be updated by other users in an efficient way with their collected files feature. It's great to be able to share files with other users and know they'll have all the assets needed when saving the project.

We have a few in-house support workers to address any technical issues. But I'd add that many
times I can find the solution to technical issues online in forums since After Effects has such a large
user base with similar issues. So it's great to know I can usually solve the issue myself, but sometimes support can help as well.

- It's best used for short advertisements and animations.
- It's great for infographics.
- It's great for typography animation.
- It's used great for green-screen background removal.
- It's great for rotoscopy and background removal.
- It's great for finding new solutions to graphics and background integration.
- It can use the .mogrt templates more in the future
- It can use some of the new plugins, like 3d element plugin
- It could be easier to make templates.

Usability and features are the most important decision. It has to work well and fast and keep up with client changes, internal changes, and be able to improve animation and graphics in a timely and efficient way. Having other programs with system crashes can slow down the workflow, so it's great to know After Effects is reliable and has great usability and a good reputation.
I wouldn't change my evaluation, as it's always met my needs and the needs of companies I've worked with.

I believe our team had to call Adobe support when systems were down and they provided great support
and had us up and running later in the day. So knowing they are fast and address the needs of their customers; it gives me peace of mind.

- Typography is great and easy to use.
- Greenscreen and roto brush is easy to learn.
- Basic cameras are easy to start learning.
- Some scripts and more advanced programming can be difficult.
- Some of the third party plugins can be harder to learn for beginners.

Hollywood effects on your PC
We are a small video and photo production company. We have been using Adobe After Effects for years, to insert animations into our videos, animate titles, cut out, and many other things.
- Track an object to insert animations.
- Create transition effects better than in Premiere.
- Best use RAM memory.
- Sometimes the timeline interface is problematic.
- We no longer need to rely on external studies for many effects.
- With a little practice you can do without expensive plugins and create the same effects yourself.
Obviously I use Premiere to edit and After Effects to post-produce. In the past I used 4D Cinema to create objects to insert in the videos, but now with a few external plugins all the objects you want are inserted.
