Adobe After Effects

Vorteile

The ease of use stands out. Ifcourse there is a learning curve if youre new to the software, but thats to be expected. They have thousands of hours of instruction online from various instructors.

Nachteile

I honestly have nothing bad to say. At first, its a bit scary, but once you lern it..... youre golden ..... and addicted.

Vorteile

I sued After Effects for creating visual effects, motion graphics, and animation.- It enables me to create advanced motion graphics and animations using keyframes, expressions, and effects. It provides a powerful timeline-based interface for precise control over animation timing and movement.- 3D integration which enables me to import and easily manipulate 3D models, and apply lighting and camera effects to create more realistic 3D environments. - Visual effects and compositing that allow me to easily combine multiple elements such as 3D renders, raw footage, and visual effects seamlessly. Precise visual effects integration like chroma-keying, and motion tracking make the process even more enthusiastic.- It also supports a wide range of extensive effects and plugins which provide extra flexibility and allow me to enhance my projects with particle animations, special effects, color grading, and more.- It seamlessly integrates with other Adobe products like Premier Pro, Photoshop, and Illustrator when I need to create GIFs or any other form of vector animation. With After Effects, I can potentially animate anything.

Nachteile

-After Effects can be hard to learn as there are advanced concepts to explore.- It requires devices with high memory to function properly

Vorteile

With After Effects, there are almost no limits to how you can create and produce your videos apart from your technical skills and knowledge. I was really pleased with its incredibly wide range of usable tools, parameters, filters and transitions to make almost any video I wanted.

Nachteile

I found making my videos using After Effects fairly time-consuming due to its advanced and highly-customizable nature. Due to my limited video editing skills, I could only create and produce very basic music videos for my music. Also, I believe its monthly subscription was overpriced for someone like me who barely used After Effects at all. That's why, after using it and staying subscribed for four years, I eventually cancelled my subscription and stopped using it.

Vorteile

I only tried basic effect but seemed like the software had a lot more to offer.

Nachteile

It's quite difficult to learn and use than premier pro.

Vorteile

After effects let you create stunning visual effect and animations along with seamless transitions and enhanced visuals.

Nachteile

Least favorite feature of After Effect would be the drag and drop for me which can mess up compositions and materials present in the timelines sometime.

Vorteile

It's a nice tool to add smaller effects into videos and also create unique and interesting designs, font, and animated text or titles.

Nachteile

I don't have anything particularly least to like.

Vorteile

Seamless Integration with other Adobe Products and features.Familiar interface across Premiere and Audition.Quality output is one of the best in the market.

Nachteile

Lagging and slow depending on the hardware configuration.Multiple updates can introduce bugs at times when reliability is crucial.

Vorteile

The content library is one of the best features in the product. An artist can create 3d models and add effects, animate and add any footage.

Nachteile

After effects delivers quality results for every motion graphic artist, animation artist and video editor. The only problem with this software is that you need a device with certain hardware requirements in order for you to use it. This makes it a hassle for beginners with the interest to use the software but do not have a suitable device.

Vorteile

I've been using this software since 2024. The best thing about it is its ability to combine and track different elements.

Nachteile

Sometimes it lags and stops working while rendering.

Vorteile

it provides a great functioning you can change anything any setting compared to other software it also teaches you how to edit if you cick on start learning after effect

Nachteile

it is expensive
not everyone can afford it

Vorteile

I like the absolutely accurate motion tracking ability of After Effects. The renders are of fine quality and the overall software design feels very professional like all the Adobe products. Another very good feature is the high quality compositing ability.

Nachteile

A new user could find it difficult to use it at the first use. Also the cost is on a higher side.

Vorteile

How well integrated with everything inside the adobe package

Nachteile

AE is a jack of all trades. It does nothing well except motion graphics. VFX is bad, 3D is bad, and video editing is bad.

Vorteile

I've been using it for years for animations, videos and transitions, motion tracking and much more . Once you learn the general tools, workflow, integration with other Adobe tools such as Adobe Illustrator, and make use of plugins, the sky is the limit.

Nachteile

After Effects is heavy on your computer. Although it has a great community, customer service is bad. I get my answers from forum most of the time.

Vorteile

Being the industry standard, you can't go wrong with this great tool from Adobe. We've been using it for the past 10 years for various client work, and it has been a great choice!

Nachteile

From time to time, the new updates may cause some crashes, so you might need to downgrade to the previous version until the bugs are fixed by Adobe's team, so keep an eye on those!

Vorteile

The way my finalized project looked. The quality and execution blasted through my expectations.

Nachteile

It can be difficult for a beginner to learn, not impossible though.

Vorteile

It is a very complete software with great support from its developers, it also has a great community.

Nachteile

In my opinion it is a little expensive compared to other alternatives.

Vorteile

It creates really awesome quality animations. Our team is using it to create ad and marketing content and couldn't ask for better product.

Nachteile

At the beginning it felt quite difficult to use. But once you start using and learning, it is really logical tool.

Vorteile

More comprehensive, the video comes out with high quality faster than other programs

Nachteile

A little complicated, you need to add a manual to use it, and it needs a powerful device

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

It is quite expensive compared to other products available.

Vorteile

it can do almost every thing like intros and promos and animated explainer videos

Nachteile

i hope it can run faster in my pc .....

Vorteile

Adobe provides a wealth of learning resources, including tutorials, forums, and online communities, to support users in mastering After Effects.

Nachteile

After Effects is a resource-intensive software that demands a powerful computer system to run smoothly.

Vorteile

Its video editing feature really helps to cut videos, place videos and sound as and where required, and with the help of animation and transition the videos can be made in very creative manner and attractive.

Nachteile

Its the best video editing and and Animation software, I find if overall amazing and all the features are amazing. could not find any feature which is not useful, everything and every feature is awesome.

Vorteile

I have been using Adobe after Effects from past 6 months and it has never dissapointed me with its tools, plugins and effects.

Nachteile

Due to heavy interface and a whole array of tools, beginners face issues to learn it as i faced issues too in the starting.

Vorteile

Is a powerful tool for creating motion graphics, visual effects, and compositing for film, video, and online content. With a wide range of features and capabilities, it has become an industry-standard software for video editing and post-production.

Nachteile

it can be challenging for beginners to get started and may require extensive training or tutorials to master.

Vorteile

Adobe After Effects is potent and user-friendly. We can use many effects in videos; there are many filters. Export time is very less

Nachteile

Adobe After Effects is costly. Sometimes the computer will be slow, and the installation process will be difficult

Vorteile

I use After Effects on a daily basis for animation and motion graphics. It has everything a creative needs to make professional animations and videos for social media or TV. The possibilities are endless and the amount of adds-on and plugins are very vast and enable you create stunning VFX and motion graphics.

Nachteile

The updates to After Effects can mean that you need to have a fast machine to be able to preview some complex clips. They keep making it better however you need to have a good machine to be able to keep up.

Vorteile

The versatility. I like how easy it is to import footage and begin adding effects immediately

Nachteile

I wish there was greater alignment between After Effects and other Adobe products.

Vorteile

The pros are numerous. It might be the most powerful video editing tool available. There are many add-ons and mods available to simplify daily routine tasks and take animations to the next level. The user interface could use some work, but overall it's not that complicated once you get used to it.

Nachteile

The biggest problem is pre-renders in the timeline. One tiny adjustment and the entire timeline has to re-render and each time long form content has to re-render can take as long as an hour. Imagine waiting an hour for every edit to pre-render so you can see the result. Yeah, that makes After Effects almost unusable. It's so bad that I have to structure how I film and often break up renders into multiple projects otherwise I would never get anything done.

Vorteile

I love the level of detail with which you can manipulate each layer. Color is so critical in my film work and I need intense saturated color as well as subtle delicate realness, both of which are easy to achieve with the After Effects programing. It allows me to achieve an exquisite level of conformity between all scenes when I need them to relate and yet I can created dynamic contrasts when I need to illustrate a counter point. Ae really compliments my desired level of sophistication as a visual storyteller.

Nachteile

I tend to max out the programs memory capabilities even though my iMac has 25GB of memory available. I wish After Effects had more dedicated memory and could handle more computational abilities, so I didn't have to constantly save and or restart my mac to maintain workflow.

Vorteile

Its basically the best video editing software out there. It has never let me down apart from some minor problems. It has a vast array of effects and presets to make your videos that much more enjoyable. you can even add plugins from external sources to further expand the creativeness in your videos, you can edit the sound of your videos to make your voice sound better. Transitions can be easily added to your videos. There are many transition presets for you and you can even create your own custom transition using scale, position and etc. After effects also has an autosave feature to ensure that your work isn't ever lost. You can also work on multiple projects and switch between the easily. It has a customizable interface so you can adjust anything you want to your liking. Clips can be sped up, slowed down and reversed without much trouble. There is also a very useful feature called mask which will help you to animate certain parts of your video or remove them entirely. You can remove entire backgrounds from your videos using the rotoscope feature if you don't have a green screen at your disposal. There are a ton of shortcut to make your editing faster and more enhanced. There are lots of composition presets to choose from and the app interface is very neat. You can also track certain objects in your videos using a built in feature. After effects comes with a wide array of render presets which you can use to export your videos in high quality.

Nachteile

Firstly it will take a good amount of time before you can use after effects freely and easily because of it's learning curve. Secondly After effects will also take up a large portion of you computer storage. Thirdly it will affect your pc's performance quite a bit and in some case it can even damage some low end pcs from overheating. Fourthly rendering long videos takes a long while. other than this i personally had no other issues with after effects.

Vorteile

It's too manual for you to create what really satisfies you have to create a lot of layers

Vorteile

Value for money.

Nachteile

Might consume RAM on your PC depending on your PC Specification.

Not easy to use as Adobe Premiere Pro.

Videos exported are large in size and needs to be compressed by other softwares.

Vorteile

Adobe After Effects is a powerful motion graphics, visual effects and animation video production software that can create the most complex graphic for video.

Nachteile

A drawback of Adobe After Effects is its steep learning curve. While powerful it is definitely not and easy tool to learn.

Vorteile

This software makes every editing idea, possible.

Nachteile

Need a powerful pc, my old pc can't keep up so I decided to get a new one.

Vorteile

After effects can so good videos and animation i like it so much in editing my wedding photography

Nachteile

It takes a lot more time in video rendering in high graphics quality

Vorteile

After Effects is a feature-packed animation software that integrates seamlessly with the Adobe Creative Cloud workflow. It is a high-level professional tool that can create stunning animations in both 2D and 3D.

Nachteile

This program has the steepest learning curve of almost any product I've used in the 2D animation space. It is also a very beefy program that I do not recommend unless you are on strong hardware.

Vorteile

Adobe After Effects possède un long historique d'évolution et sait encore aujourd'hui s'adapter aux réalités et aux enjeux de ses utilisateurs. L'intégration récente de l'IA à même le logiciel ouvre de nouvelles possibilités de création et accélère le processus créatif.

Nachteile

Le logiciel peut paraître intimidant lors de sa prise en main mais la courbe d'apprentissage est somme toute assez douce. On obtient des résultat satisfaisant rapidement et la vaste communauté d'utilisateurs et les ressources disponibles permettent de trouver des réponses à nos questions.

Vorteile

The Effects i can use any where i want are wonderful in this software even text animations are great and gives a nice toch to my project.

Nachteile

The cons are its only for editing purpose mainly in effects i tried colour grading in it but thats not too good in after effects or it may be i need to master it more.

Vorteile

Te brinda la mayor variedad de herramientas para edición y animación, hay tutoriales para lo que se te ocurra, es un programa versátil y tiene integración con el resto de la suite de Adobe de manera fluida.

Nachteile

Me gustaría ver menor errores o complicaciones a la hora de sumar complementos y plugins pero sé que al haber tantos disponibles y de terceros siempre alguno tendrá errores ya que es imposible validar cada uno de ellos para su óptimo funcionamiento.

Vorteile

The VFX capabilities of After Effects have been a game changer. Being able to edit video and apply color grades and do vfx work has set it apart from most of the competition.

Nachteile

AE eats up many machines for lunch when files get bulky.

Vorteile

I LOVE the possibilities. Pretty much anything you imagine can be brought to live in living color.

Nachteile

Ease of use. I understand that this is a technical program with a serious learning curve but I do feel like some features could be a little easier to execute.

Vorteile

Les effets spéciaux ;
C'est carrément l'un des meilleurs au monde dans ce domaine

Nachteile

Il n'ai pas tres adapté aux novices de l'infographie donc il faut vraiment etre compétent pour en tirer quelque chose de bon.

Vorteile

After Effects boasts an incredible range of tools for motion graphics, visual effects, and compositing. It allows me to create anything I can imagine, from subtle animations to mind-blowing VFX.

The vast library of third-party plugins extends After Effects' capabilities even further. I can find tools for specific tasks or unique effects, making my workflow more efficient and creative.

Nachteile

After Effects has a complex interface and a wealth of features. It can be overwhelming for beginners. However, there are plenty of tutorials and resources available to help you climb the learning curve.

While powerful, After Effects can be demanding on your computer's resources. Complex projects might require a powerful machine for smooth editing and rendering.

Vorteile

After effects is like an old friend to me... which makes me sad to say it's the last major effects program that uses layers. it's a digital version of film editing and effects, from overlays, to blending and merging and cutouts and transparent layers... it was great... those days are past now. still, if you can manage to get an old pre-subscription version, like CS6 or CS5, it'll do you just fine. yar har and a bottle of rum.

Nachteile

this poor, poor thing. it's like seeing an old friend with dementia. Now there are over 470 addons in this bloated mess, they hacked in multithreading, then removed it, then added it back worse 5 years later and acted like it was the first time, same with MP4 export, they advertise GPU usage, like it's special, but it has all of 5 effects that use the GPU.now, it can't even playback 1080p video reliably. it stores all previews uncompressed in RAM, so if you're editing 4k footage, 64 gigs of RAM will get you 2-5 seconds of playback at 10fps. absolute trash tier, because that's what you get when you take a program that only works on one core, then duplicate it to every core in an attempt to make it faster, while forgetting the UI shares a rendering core, so the UI now stutters and lags uncontrollably at anything above 2K footage (even phones these days can make 4K footage)TL;DR- every version is worse, post 2013, minus a single version in late 2014/early 2015, where the devs implemented many performance hacks. sadly, adobe has threatened users who use that version, and disallow use of any version except the newest, buggiest, slowest versions. a classic case of en****ification- when it came time to make money, all development and new features ceased, and now the great new feature of this version is colored outlines on keyframes. yaaay. the shareholders clapped, at least.

Vorteile

- It has a high number of available features which gives lots of room for creativity
- Further features can be added via Plugin
- Great integration with other Adobe products
- The quality of the videos produced is very high

Nachteile

- Unless your work is focused on video production/editing/animation, this software is not for you. The monthly plans that Adobe is currently offering are making it impossible for freelancers and small businesses to access, especially when many cheaper/free alternatives might not do everything After Effects does but can do a pretty solid job.
- For the same reason, the learning curve is steep, so unless this will be your livelihood it might not be worth the time for simpler projects.
- For its correct functioning, solid hardware is needed, otherwise, the app crashes or glitches and makes it hard to work.

Vorteile

Using ready made templates online made After Effects easy to use and implement high quality lower thirds for videos.

Nachteile

Graphics made for videos longer than a minute exponentially slowed down the software.

Vorteile

After Effects est mon outil de prédilection pour créer des graphismes animés et des effets visuels époustouflants. La gamme d'outils et la flexibilité sont incomparables pour n'importe quel projet de design.

Nachteile

Il est très gourmand en ressources, et le rendu peut être lent si vous n'avez pas une machine puissante.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

3D modeling is the feature which is most impactful to me. This software is not as easy to use as other adobe software. It helps my business so much.

Nachteile

Adobe should add more tools to make it more easier as an example AI.
