Overall Satisfaction with Adobe After Effects

We use After Effects to deal with the different types of animations like Explainer videos, 2D animation, we create educational videos in complete animation for YouTube and with help of After Effects our work becomes so productive and fast, so that we can expand our business. Working with animation on After Effects is really very powerful and effective. it provides high quality output for our work, you can work on professional projects with help of Adobe After Effects. It is really impressive industry-standard software. We are also using After Effects for video editing and VFX, it can handle both of them very well.
  • 2d animation, it can handle the 2d animation on more than 60+ fps. it is easy to work with character animation. you can add various plugins, it has a strong interface to work on, so it almost each and every type of animation related work mainly in 2d.
  • vfx- we can integrate after effects with various softwares like Cinema 4D to create amazing vfx scenes.
  • video editing- we can do professional video editing along with some really impressive motion graphic and object tracking.
  • 3D - working with 3D in After Effects doesn't provide that much effective results as compared to 3D software, we can only do basic 3D or we have to integrate 3D software.
  • Sometimes when it comes to real-time preview of the scene (what you created) even if you have better specs, you will face some lags.
  • Audio - After Effects doesn't provide any effective tool to work with audio, they should provide something which can be helpful to remove audio noise, but there is no effective tool to work with audio in After Effects (you can work with Adobe Audition to do that but that's a different software).
  • It helped us to improve our productivity.
  • It gives us freedom to take on more projects as it is really amazing to handle work faster than other tools or programs.
  • We need to slightly raise our budget but it ultimately helped us, so there is no negative impact on our business, we are better and more professional now.
  • Adobe Animate (formerly Flash)
We have taken After Effects because Adobe Animate is completely focused on animation rather than other things which After Effects can handle very easily, like we needed a program which can handle the professional animation, speed up our workflow, and can do various things like edit a video with text and some VFX, can add various VFX into finished projects, can do post-production, so that's why we have selected After Effects.
They are really good and whenever you get stuck in any problem they can provide various study materials and tutorials, and if there are any bugs they will inform you so, that's a very good thing about Adobe customer support.

Well suited when you are working to create YouTube videos in a real and effective manner in less time. It has been really helpful for me in the last year, we have produced 60+ animated videos which is really amazing speed to work. And the best thing is it gives professional output and saves time. Really simple to work if you know how to do it. If you are looking for a video editor you can do it on After Effects also.
The scenarios where it becomes less appropriate is when you are working on 3D animation, you can get better things except VFX.
