In this article, Software Tricks will share with you an overview of After Effects software.
1. What is After Effects?
After Effects is a graphics software developed by Adobe. Adobe is a leading software design company globally, known for its products such as Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere Pro, and a variety of other software.
Within the realm of Adobe, each software serves a distinct purpose and targets different groups of professionals to enhance work efficiency. Adobe After Effects is tailored for video effect processors, digital artists, motion graphics designers, and more. While Photoshop is renowned for image editing and visual effects, After Effects operates similarly, albeit focusing on video enhancement rather than still imagery.
Put simply, After Effects embellishes videos with dynamic effects, making them more lifelike and saving considerable time and production costs. To grasp its workflow better, consider watching the VFX breakdown of 'Who Raised Their Hand When Someone Died – Huynh Lap' by VFX artist Unn Thanh.
