A brief history of Adobe After Effects

Adobe After Effects is software mainly used for creating motion graphics and visual effects. This allows users to animate, edit, and write 2D media or 3D space with many different built-in tools and third party plug-ins that can be downloaded from the internet depending on the type of plug-in you are looking for. It also gives individual attention to variables such as parallax and also user angles determined from observations.

Adobe After Effects is a program-oriented layer software. Each individual media object such as a video clip, still image, audio clip, etc. runs on its own. In contrast, other Non-Linear Editing Systems use a system where individual media objects can occupy the same path as long as they do not overlap at the same time. This track-oriented system is more suitable for editing and can save project files more simply. The layer oriented system that Adobe After Effects has is suitable for extensive working video effects and also key framing.
