Adobe After Effects Reviews

Summary: Adobe After Effects has been a great asset for our company to add professional branding to our YouTube videos.

Positive: If you want your videos to be modern and professional, After Effects is the simplest way to go. Gone are the days of Windows Movie Maker! After editing in Premiere, AE is perfect for animations and transitions, text and color grading! You can also download tons of pre existing templates to work with which is a huge plus.

Negative: After Effects is not beginner friendly, you will definitely need to watch videos and explore Adobe Help to get an understanding before diving in.

Summary: It has been my first choice for any video which needs VFX.
It works wonderfully and gives the finest touch to a video.

Positive: It has the most sophisticated tools in the market.
It gives your art an amazing touch.
I have been using it for my video editing.

Negative: It is too overwhelming for new users.
It should have a lighter version.

Summary: Overall, Adobe After Effects is a one-stop software for all video editing purposes. It has a quite good UI and has a lot of functionality.

Positive: - It can be used to create 2D and 3D animations.
- It can be integrated with other Adobe software for seamless productivity.
- It has a wide catalog of VFX options for videos.

Negative: - It requires a very high-end processor to function properly.

Summary: I used AE for thousands of hours on various VFX projects as far back as 2003 (before the CS series) so I do have a fondness for Adobe's software. I have used AE on dozens of short videos to do a wide range of effects sequences. But as an indie on a limited budget I realize it is time to move on personally. The alternatives are nearly as good and they fit a pricing model that I prefer.

Positive: This is THE best compositing toolkit out there, no question. I'm not a fan of the rental/subscription format of Creative Cloud but the software itself is top-notch. The keying tools, the masking and roto, and all the effects filters are great and very extensible - there are a ton of Ae plugins that expand the creative potential of this VFX tool to be nearly limitless.

Negative: Creative Cloud, unfortunately, is not great. I'd prefer to own software outright. Worse for AE, the alternatives seem to be catching up fast. Hitfilm Pro is an excellent alternative (That I recently switched to) and Fusion is also amazing for pro-grade compositing and keying, and both of those offer one-time pricing and feature limited but still decent free versions. After Effects needs to continue improving, and Adobe cannot be complacent and expect to retain its customer base in the future.

Summary: I make all type of visual effects along with attractive text animation. I recently edited my video and introduce some electric & fire which was eye catching and then I uploaded that into youtube, which attracted so many subscribers.

Positive: I like it because of Its powerful engine. which helps in to create all type of visual effects. Also, it supports plenty of features like motion graphics and text animation. Must for all!

Negative: It requires high end PC for rendering and it is slightly expensive, otherwise nothing to complain anything.

Summary: It is an overall wonderful experience. I can freely create visual effects at will and it looks professional as well. It is a great experience to have and great for GFX enthusiasts starting out.

Positive: Adobe After Effects is one of the most powerful tools to create visual effects be it for movies, short films, etc. It is the complete package as well as having an interface filled with information so that users won't get lost with its vast features.

Negative: The downside of Adobe After Effects is that it isn't for everyone, you'll need a really beefy PC in order to render effects correctly, so it isn't for budget-friendly desktop computers.

Summary: Your customers will suffer. You will suffer. Your whole family will suffer because you work for After Effects. Sorry, but it is. Although I still work in it, because there is no time to study other software. But I'll jump off that needle as soon as I can!

Positive: The program is easy to learn and does not require a lot of time to master. It is 100% suitable for you if you need to quickly do a little job.

Negative: After Effects constantly lags and works with bugs. Sometimes some important functionality may simply not work and you will not be able to meet the deadline.
