Adobe After Effects is the industry-leading software for motion graphics, VFX editing, and animated illustration. Interestingly, filmmakers call it the \u201cPhotoshop of Video\u201d.

Expert film editors and VFX artists have double workflows where they use Premiere Pro and After Effects side by side to create stunning clips.<\/p>\n
