Premiere Pro vs. After Effects

Two of the big names in video production software are Premiere Pro and After Effects. Both are Adobe products and part of the Adobe Creative Cloud. Both have been around for over twenty years, and people often ask, “Which is better?” or “How do I choose?” but these are actually the wrong questions. It’s not a matter of which is better, but which is best for the task at hand.

This free class is the great way for learn about these two apps before diving into one of our hands-on After Effects Classes, Premiere Pro Classes, Video Editing classes, or Motion Graphics classes (available in-person in NYC or live online).
