Explore Adobe After Effects features.
Get to know the tools and features you can use to design impressive video effects and eye-catching motion graphics.
New After Effects features are shipping all the time to help keep your creativity in motion.
Your type. Your way.
Easily create smooth, expressive typographic motion that flows from thin to bold to black with new variable font animation.
Easily import and animate SVG files.
Improved SVG support preserves transparency, groovy gradients, and more. So you can import vector artwork and get right to animating.
Create 3D shapes. Natively.
Create 3D shapes right in After Effects. Then turn up the realism with new shadow controls and over 1,300 free textures from Adobe Substance 3D.
Play it back in full. Faster than ever.
Say bye-bye to playback pauses. After Effects now lets you play back more of your timeline all in one go. Any computer. Any composition. All the playback.
See 3D animations in a whole new light.
It’s never been easier to blend dimensions, animate fast, and fine-tune in hyperrealistic detail. Discover simplified 3D workflows in After Effects.
Create dynamic motion graphics with powerful tools for every type of 2D animation project.
Design dynamic titles and text.
Create animated titles, lower thirds, or any other kind of text from scratch, or start with a customizable preset.
Animate with precision.
Get precise control over your animations with powerful keyframe tools. Change an object’s position, scale, opacity, and more over time.
Make your logo move.
Add motion and transitions to icons, graphics, and logos, or composite and animate new shapes. Choose from hundreds of presets and filters to get just the right look.
Achieve natural-looking motion.
Bring characters or shapes to life and simulate realistic movement with the Puppet tool, Graph Editor, Wiggle Expression, and Motion Blur.
Apply animations to new layers.
Avoid repeat work with parent layers, which apply their animation properties to any linked layers.
Automate different actions.
Use expressions to streamline repetitive tasks, enable animations to respond to specific variables, or connect animations to external data sources for data-driven visualizations.
Add eye-catching motion to your 3D models or create a multidimensional scene by combining 2D and 3D elements.
Mix 2D and 3D seamlessly.
Animate 3D objects right alongside 2D graphics in a true 3D workspace with tools designed specifically for 3D.
Import 3D models directly.
Bring 3D models from Cinema 4D or Adobe Substance 3D into After Effects — no pre-rendering required.
Make 3D models look photorealistic.
Cast shadows from 3D objects onto 2D elements and blend your effects with 3D depth data.
Create 3D shapes. Natively.
Create 3D shapes right in After Effects. Then turn up the realism with new shadow controls and over 1,300 free textures from Substance 3D.
Add realistic light and shadows.
Use any image as a light source with Image Based Lighting to create a natural-looking environment for your 3D animations.
Speed up high-quality exports.
Produce high-quality, photorealistic 3D motion graphics faster than ever with the GPU-accelerated Advanced 3D Renderer.
Make every project shine with unforgettable effects — plus plug-ins from over 400 partners — for endless creative possibilities.
Combine clips with compositing.
Bring different clips into a single scene to create totally new worlds. Add giant flamingos, a speeding train, or anything else you can imagine.
Track elements as they move.
Follow the movement of any object in your clip. Replace the screens on mobile phones, attach text to a moving subject, or surround a marching band with musical notes.
Swap out the background.
Place a character in a totally new environment. With powerful keying tools, you can replace backgrounds, apply visual effects, or add new elements to your scene.
Change the atmosphere.
Make it rain, add some snow, or finesse the lighting of a scene with simple presets you can adjust to create realistic effects.
Show off your true colors.
Correct colors with tools for brightness, contrast, and white balance, and then get creative with color grading tools like color balance and LUTs.
Remove what you don’t want.
Erase anything from an accidental boom mic to people in the background. Content-Aware Fill will fill in the gaps in every video frame so you’re left with clean, polished footage.
