Because of its versatility, After Effects can be used to create effects and animations for a variety of media content including social posts, YouTube, websites, and even film and television.
Some uses for After Effects include motion graphics, character animation, animated titles and logos, compositing, and extensive visual effects.

The program is a must-learn application for any aspiring Video Editor or Animator, or anyone looking to step up their video content.
Potential After Effects job opportunities in New Jersey include Video Manager or editor, 2D or 3D Animator, and Motion Graphics Designer. Remember that these roles require other training and experience, though—After Effects is just one part of the necessary qualifications. Whether you choose to specialize in video or animation, salaries in both fields usually fall within the $70,000 to $90,000 range. This is more than twice the average entry-level salary in the area, which is typically under $35,000.
If you are wondering where you might be able to apply your After Effects knowledge and other relevant training, there are a few local avenues you could pursue. Aspiring filmmakers have many options, as New Jersey is the birthplace of the film industry and still boasts a vast network of film and television professionals. You could also pursue a video-focused role at one of the top technology companies in the area, as they often have video needs for marketing or product education.
