Motion graphics, VFX, and compositing on a timeline — animated titles, rotoscoping, 3D tracking, particles, and expression-driven animation.
Adobe After Effects is the go-to application for cinematic visual effects, motion graphics, and compositing. Build animated titles and lower thirds, design complex motion graphics sequences, rotoscope subjects from footage, track objects in 3D space, and create particle simulations — all within a powerful timeline-based workflow. With hundreds of built-in effects, expression scripting for procedural animation, and tight integration with Premiere Pro and Illustrator, After Effects gives motion designers and VFX artists the tools to make the impossible look real.

Common questions about Adobe After Effects
The After Effects beta now lets you paste Illustrator or SVG artwork directly as native shape layers. Paths stay editable, with no separate conversion step.
When copying from Illustrator, enable “Include SVG Code” in Clipboard Handling preferences. Convert SVG text to curves before pasting. Animated or raster SVGs aren't supported, and pasting After Effects shape layers back into Illustrator doesn't currently work.
