There are few programs in the world capable of producing stunning works of visual art like Adobe AfterEffects. However, if you’re new to Adobe After Effects, you might be a little confused about what AE can do. To clear up some of the confusion, we’ve put together this post explaining the creative and technical possibilities of Adobe After Effects. If you have any questions about what you can do in AfterEffects, I’m more than happy to answer them in the comments below.


So, What Can You Do With Adobe After Effects?

With Adobe After Effects you can create, composite, and stylize 2D footage layers in 3D space. AdobeAfter Effects serves a different role depending on the users needs. For example, an indie VFX artist might only use After Effects for compositing 3D rendered footage. A video editor might use After Effectsmore for title design, and an animator might use it for creating 2D cartoon characters. The reason why so many people have trouble defining what After Effects does is simply due to the fact that it does so many things — and does them well.


It should be noted that while After Effects is an incredible software, it isn’t ideal for editing footage. This is mainly due to the fact that it doesn’t have the same playback capabilities or layout as a video editing application. In an editing context, Adobe After Effects is usually used to apply effects after your footage has been roughly edited. Is the name making sense now?
