Overall Satisfaction with Adobe After Effects

We use Adobe After Effects throughout our entire company. We are a small team where everyone is involved in every step of the post production process. It really helps us do some of the more complicated tasks that Adobe Premiere Pro cannot handle. We utilize many plugins that help accomplish those difficult tasks.
  • Very easy to set up and get started.
  • There are many tutorials provided from Adobe and other users.
  • After Effects is perfect for creating animated movement in our final videos.
  • It easily integrates with the other Adobe software.
  • The workflow is a little more difficult than learning Premiere workflow.
  • Sometimes our plugins take a lot of processing power.
  • Some of the features we have to buy plugins for should be integrated.
  • It helps make our final videos look much cleaner.
  • If we had to rely only on other products to do what After Effects does we would spend much more time doing so.
  • Since AE is already included in our Adobe CC plan, it only adds value to our final projects.
After Effects doesn't need to be compared directly with Premiere Pro. They should be looked at more like a pair. One is the right hand and one is the left. You can do things with either, but if you use them together you can do much much more. Using AE can help make your Premiere projects even better.
I have never needed to reach out to Adobe for assistance with After Effects because they already have many tutorials available online. If you don't see exactly what you are trying to do with the Adobe tutorials then there are many other users that have posted theirs online and are easy to follow.

Would you buy Adobe After Effects again?

Yes

We use Adobe After Effects to do many things like tracking for rotoscoping, rig removal, cloning, and text animation. It is definitely the best tool to help finish any footage you might be working on. Even though you can set up a timeline to render a final video, it isn't really suited to do so.
