Film and video editors use Premiere Pro to cut video and film together, while VFX artists predominantly use After Effects to enhance post-production. Which one you use depends on your discipline.
Premiere Pro is a video-editing programme you use to edit video, add music and audio, as well as some titles. On the other hand, you use After Effects to create motion graphics, adjust colours and enhance footage with visual effects.
After Effects is an indispensable tool in post-production. As the name suggests, After Effects is best used to enhance the look of your project once it’s been cut together.
Design motion graphics and visual effects to make every frame of film fantastic. Create credits sequences and animations that stand out. Simulate snowfall or composite different layers of shots into a single stunning shot.
