Along with Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects is a primary software used for video creation. Long considered an industry standard for Motion Graphics, After Effects provides users with animation capabilities, visual effects, and a wide variety of compositing tools. Movies, TV, advertising, and online videos all use Adobe After Effects behind the scenes for everything from animated graphics to professional-grade special effects.
A solid foundation in After Effects can be particularly beneficial for those seeking careers in Video Editing, Motion Graphics, or any other specialization that requires high-level video or graphics skills. Although you will need additional tools at hand for a career in video, After Effects is an excellent place to start.
