    Create Professional Animations.

    Date: May 01 2021

    Summary: Overall, Adobe After Effects is a professional tool that helps you create professional videos and add movies like VFX into them. It was pretty easy to use because of the well-organized UI. You must ensure that you run this software on a decent to high-end PC or won't get the desired performance or a good experience. The price is slightly high, but it is justified because of the vast number of features you get.

    Positive: -Adobe AE gives you the ability to do Green screen editing, advanced video repair, 3D animations, special effects, and many more.
    -Its User Interface is quite organized, and you can easily find the desired feature or functionality for your project without wasting any time.
    -The functionalities like typography videos, character animations, and VFX add a lot to your videos and give them an extra edge against a direct 2D video.
    -It is quite a popular tool, so you can easily find any free or paid tutorial for this application on the internet and improve your skill as new features roll out.

    Negative: -The major problem with Adobe After Effects is that this app's ram management department is worse. You will find some lags and jitters even working on a high-end machine, and I think they should look into the issue and improve it as it is a significant setback for the users in terms of experience.
    -The subscription fee for this app is on the pricier side but considering all the features and customer support you get, and it is justifiable. After all, you are working on a professional app, so you should expect a high price.

    The best software for video editing

    Date: Mar 07 2022

    Summary: Overall, I have had a positive experience using Adobe After Effects. I have found it to be a powerful and versatile program that has allowed me to create a wide range of animations and motion graphics. It has also been relatively easy to learn and use, which has made it a great option for novice animators and motion graphics artists. However, there are a few areas where I feel that Adobe After Effects could be improved. For example, the program can be a bit slow and sluggish at times, and the interface can be a bit overwhelming for beginners. Additionally, there are a few features that are not as user-friendly as they could be. Despite these few drawbacks, I would still recommend Adobe After Effects to anyone looking to create animations and motion graphics.

    Positive: -After Effects also has a vast array of built-in tools and presets that allow users to create sophisticated animations and graphics with little to no experience.

    -Additionally, After Effects is widely used by both amateur and professional filmmakers, video editors, and motion graphics artists, making it a very versatile tool.

    Negative: There are many things that I do not like about Adobe After Effects. First and foremost, the program is notoriously slow and crashes frequently. Additionally, the user interface is outdated and difficult to navigate. Finally, the program is expensive and not very versatile.
