Adobe After Effects for Mac

1/3

Adobe has created an animation application for people that are interested in the animation process. It has all the tools you need to turn any of your 2D art or stock photos into an image that captures people’s attention.

Starting work

Although there’s a seven-day trial, the total package costs $20 a month. Also, learning how to use the app is time-intensive, but some of the functions are intuitive. There is so much you can do with the programme, from cinematic movie titles and adding one of hundred of effects to working with bending tools and adding depth with images.

Animation tools

Some essential features of After Effects are the motion graphics templates that you can start with. Also, you can animate anything 2D that you import from other programs. Animating graphs and infographics is even possible. The program is also much sped up from previous editions.

Synchronizing

Another cool feature of this app is the use of the Creative Cloud. This allows you to share your projects with anyone in the cloud easily. There are a plethora of training videos available, which helps with the steep learning curve. Also, updates and support are consistent through the cloud, keeping you at the top of the field.

For Professionals

For anyone interested in professional animation work, this software is worth checking out. Despite the steep learning curve, all the features available will make it worth the time and effort.
