What is Adobe After Effects?
Adobe After Effects is the premiere digital video effects software used industry-wide for film making and TV production as well as creative work including high-end video intros and audio-reactive music visualizers. With a full gamut of professional features, the software is capable of handling practically any imaginable visual task.
After Effects utilizes a powerful layer-based approach to compositing and masking with a familiar timeline for arranging and manipulating visual elements in time. Layer properties such as position, scale, and rotation are easily animated using configurable key frames on the timeline while layer styles and blend modes make it easy to mix imagery in sophisticated ways.
Originally available under a version-based, one-time purchase, After Effects is now available strictly through a subscription to Adobe's Creative Cloud service.

Hot fire software lol. Great for filmmakers and it comes apart of the adobe suite so its chill.
Bloatware. Honestly. After buying the license, I found multiple instances of Cinema 4D installed as well. Did I ask for it? NO. Did they warn or even say it would be installed? NO. It's already a pain that you are forced to install Creative Cloud and all other stuff. It's cool if you use it, but it shouldn't be forced if you don't want to use it. Can't wait to find a proper alternative, like Affinity is to InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop.
When you buy one app, you should get one app installed. No more, no less.
expensive and bloated, it supposed to be part of premiere
Great software for visual effects. I am editing all of my videos there since I found it!
Good but wish it was cheaper.
Bloatware, when I bought After Effects they never ask me to install 7 cinema4d apps!! and 4! icons with different apps, why they fragment AF in 4 different icons/programs? i just need AF no other shits.
The perfect app for creating motion graphics and applying effects!
