Alexander Ross-Edwards Motion Designer in Social Media at Jump450 (Animation, 11-50 employees) Chose Adobe After Effects Adobe After Effects is a great bridge from still graphics and vector, to motion graphics. The integration with Premiere makes things work seamlessly and the way it can ustilise native PSDs and ai files makes working in Adobe After Effects ideal for most clients. Incentivized Helpful? Hannan Shahid Sales Team Lead in Sales at Axelliant (Information Technology & Services, 51-200 employees) Chose Adobe After Effects The other tools we use are part of the Adobe CC Family and they complement each other very well.

Miko Mikaela Garcia Graphics Video Editor Specialist in Professional Services at UCSC Silicon Valley Extension (Education Management, 11-50 employees) Chose Adobe After Effects A lot more features and support through Adobe with After Effects Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Adobe After Effects I have used Adobe Premiere Pro, Camtasia, Microsoft Powerpoint, and Apple Keynote. All of these programs allow you to do some level of animation. However, Adobe After Effects is specifically designed to create advanced and dynamic effects and animations for video. Though you … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Adobe After Effects Adobe After Effects is available for both windows and macOS with no software level performance degradation. Final cut pro is available only for Mac os on apple devices which let's file sharing between windows difficult. File sizes also vary for same level of editing. After … Incentivized Helpful? Laila Abouizza Backend Developer in Information Technology at FastEcomAds (Marketing & Advertising, 11-50 employees) Chose Adobe After Effects Before switching to Adobe After Effects we were using Camtasia Studio to edit videos and it's a great video editing software but it couldn't provide us with the complex video effects that we needed to implement for our videos so we switched it to After Effects for that purpose.

Romi Kalathiya App/Game Designer \| UI/UX & Prototype Expert \| Motion Graphics \| Video Editor \| GIF \| JSON in Marketing at Freelance (Animation, 1-10 employees) Chose Adobe After Effects [Adobe After Effects] is a beast and VEGAS Pro is just a baby when compared to Adobe. It doesn't match [Adobe After Effects] when it comes to the feature and performance it offers. Incentivized Helpful? Isabel Sam Owner at Isabel Azalia Portrait Design (Arts & Crafts, 1-10 employees) Chose Adobe After Effects Photoshop is good for simple video editing, but it doesn't have animation or audio help and it takes a while to get your video put together in a way that looks good. iMovie is also just for simpler video editing and lacks the extras that After Effects have that really turn your … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Adobe After Effects We use these tools in conjunction with After Effects not as a replacement. Apple Motion does many of the same things as After Effects and in some ways is more intuitive. However, After Effects is bundled with software we absolutely must use and is the industry standard. New … Incentivized Helpful? Nathan Morimitsu Social Media and Marketing Adminstrator in Corporate at H2 Manufacturing Solutions (Aviation & Aerospace, 1-10 employees) Chose Adobe After Effects Because of our use of other Adobe products, and how they all play well together, we never really looked at using any other product. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Adobe After Effects It is part of the Adobe Creative Cloud that I sign monthly and is full of possibilities. Most of them I've not yet explored. Adobe has a large library of tutorials and we can find a huge number of tutorials on YouTube for free to teach how to use it better or find some plugins … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Adobe After Effects I find Adobe After Effects to be superior to iMovie and Final Cut Pro in that I am able to do much more with the software. It isn't as limiting as the other two. I also like that it isn't an Apple product. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of Apple. There is a bigger learning … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Adobe After Effects iMovie motion graphics limitations are just that, limitations. Motion Graphics in [Adobe] After Effects are very easy. [Adobe] After Effects opens many more doors for typography, visuals, and 3D animations that are leaps and bounds cooler than anything you can do in iMovie. … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Adobe After Effects Adobe After Effects and Final Cut Pro are quite similar in the sense of their functionalities as far as I'm aware and the interfaces are more or less similar. But Adobe After Effects is preferred over Final Cut Pro mostly because of the fact that it is part of the Adobe … Incentivized Helpful? Ryan Treleven Technology Trainer in Social Media at New Ulm Public Schools (Education Management, 201-500 employees) Chose Adobe After Effects I haven’t used any direct competitors. I’ve used plenty of other paid and free photo and video editing programs, but none as full featured and powerful as After Effects, which makes it a pretty simple choice to use and buy if you need something that can perform like it can!

Incentivized Helpful? Zacheray Long Multimedia Specialist in Marketing at Vertiv (Computer Hardware, 10,001+ employees) Chose Adobe After Effects After Effects is the halfway point between simple editing software like Premiere Pro and complex 3D suites like Cinema 4D. It offers a balance of speed and functionality for mid-level production. I also prefer it over Apple Motion and Black Magic Fusion, mostly due to being in … Incentivized Helpful? John Zelayandia Content Specialist in Marketing at Taos (Luxury Goods & Jewelry, 11-50 employees) Chose Adobe After Effects After Effects is on par with most of these other non-Adobe software.

ANDREW TOUTANT Sr. Designer / Art Direction in Corporate at Rip Media Group (Animation, 11-50 employees) Chose Adobe After Effects After Effects is more versatile for animations than Premiere for sure. And now, with the .mogrt templates, it can be great for keeping consistent animations and branding guides when sharing work with other animators and editors. I also like their 3d plugins and advanced … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Adobe After Effects We have taken After Effects because Adobe Animate is completely focused on animation rather than other things which After Effects can handle very easily, like we needed a program which can handle the professional animation, speed up our workflow, and can do various things like … Incentivized Helpful? Fabio Zenoardo Media Creator in Professional Services at Fabio Zenoardo Photography (Photography, 1-10 employees) Chose Adobe After Effects Obviously I use Premiere to edit and After Effects to post-produce.

Bradley Gill co-founder in Professional Services at 360 Labs (Media Production, 1-10 employees) Chose Adobe After Effects After Effects doesn't need to be compared directly with Premiere Pro.
