> **Pros**: Adobe After effects is the best software for video editing. Complex and Advanced editing can done easily, it is like just built for creating Amazing video edits. Huge number of features are their for editing videos in &#10;different ways. Not only a lot of features are their but we can add more custom features using Plugins. Rendering speed is also amazing.&#10;When it comes for editing, to learn, it will take some time, the more complex or advanced your editing is, the more you have to learn as a beginner. Interface is best and maintenance of tabs with features are made to edit video faster and effective.

> 
> **Cons**: If the system has lower specifications and suppose you are rending an highly complex video that is just edited, it will take very very long time to render and  sometime software will even crash. So always it needs high specs system. System will heat up quickly not only while rendering but also during editing, so cooling device is must if you want to save the system's life.
> 
> Adobe after effects is best class video editing software. Their are a lot of software for editing videos but with after effects you can do next level editing because not only their are a lot of inbuilt features but you can add more with help of plugins.

### "An expensive but nonetheless high-quality motion graphics software" — 3.0/5

> **Jordan** | *26 October 2021* | Music | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: With After Effects, there are almost no limits to how you can create and produce your videos apart from your technical skills and knowledge. I was really pleased with its incredibly wide range of usable tools, parameters, filters and transitions to make almost any video I wanted.
> 
> **Cons**: I found making my videos using After Effects fairly time-consuming due to its advanced and highly-customizable nature. Due to my limited video editing skills, I could only create and produce very basic music videos for my music. Also, I believe its monthly subscription was overpriced for someone like me who barely used After Effects at all. That's why, after using it and staying subscribed for four years, I eventually cancelled my subscription and stopped using it.
> 
> All in all, I found After Effects useful for creating my own videos, but I found it overpriced for someone like me who barely used it. And, within the four years I used After Effects, I only ever produced seventeen videos with it (roughly 0.34 videos per month). So, after four years of minimal usage, I decided to cancel my subscription and stop using it.

### "Best Compositing, Video Editing and Effects Software so far. Except..." — 5.0/5

> **Roldan** | *16 November 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: - Major major pros for after effects is I guess it is one of a kind compositing software in the world that can act as effects composer and video editor as well. - Just think of it, it can do it - from MoGraph, to fairy dust effects, to 3D and 2D Animations.- It allegiance with Cimema 4D is one of my most coveted feature here. You won't be banging your head on the wall for simple to complex 3D effects, right there you have it.- Media support support and compatibility specially with Illustrator and Photoshop - seamless\!
> 
> **Cons**: - Customer support. This software needs to be an American Company again. Customer support are just terrible. They lack product knowledge, lack empathy and they lack the right customer communication.- Steep learning curve. Which is understandable. Beautifully composed effects comes with a price to pay - learning-wise. So pay it\!- Expensive. I don't agree with there subscription basis. They should bring back perpetual ownership of the software.
> 
> Superb\! I Have lots of profitable and memorable projects done with Adobe After Effects. If there is one software you need who can do Effects and Video Editing, After Effects is one whole package to root from. Highly recommended software for enthusiasts and aspirants.

> 
> **Cons**: The loading time sometimes is the worst when you want to get started on a project right away&#10;I haven't been able to import HVEC and HEIC formats onto the software.
> 
> I have been working for many people and companies&#10;I have created 3D visualizations and then finished editing them in after effects.&#10;I have designed logos, motion graphics for some twitch players and some induviduals who advertise their products on social media platforms
