Adobe has been the indispensable environment for designers and editors for years, and After Effects is one of the jewels in its crown. Its motion graphics and visual effects program is at the forefront of the industry, becoming essential for both professionals and amateurs.
With its latest update, After Effects has not only expanded its capabilities but also significantly improved the accessibility and efficiency of its software, making it easier than ever to delve into the world of VFX.
Multiple functions to make your work increasingly easier
The latest version of After Effects comes with a completely modernized interface that enhances both aesthetics and usability. This update is not just a visual change; the more intuitive workflow allows both novices and veterans to make the most of its tools.
Additionally, performance has been a key priority. Users of systems with hardware acceleration, especially on Windows, can enjoy rendering times up to four times faster.
On the other hand, the program has continued to integrate more and more artificial intelligence (AI) based functions to save time and simplify processes. The removal of unwanted objects or complex rotoscoping, which previously required long hours of work, can now be done in seconds thanks to features like Content-Aware Fill and Roto Brush 2.
On the other hand, with the growing demand for 3D content, After Effects now allows importing 3D models in GLB and GLTF formats, including complex animations. Additionally, improvements in creating realistic shadows and depth maps make it easier to integrate three-dimensional objects into two-dimensional environments.
And for those who are starting in motion design, Adobe has included more than 30 new animation presets, ideal for projects like infographics or transitions. This, combined with integrated tutorials and an active user community, allows anyone to master After Effects quickly. Without a doubt, Adobe is working hard to keep up with constantly evolving technology, and After Effects is the greatest example of this.
