After Effects is a software primarily used for creating motion graphics and visual effects. This allows users to animate, edit, and write 2D media or 3D space with many different built-in tools and third party plug-ins that can be downloaded from the internet depending on the type of plug in yand searched. It also gives individual attention to variables such as parallax and also user defined angles from observations.

Adobe After Effects is a program-oriented software layer. Every individual media object such as video clips, still images, audio clips, etc. runs on its own. In contrast, Non-Linear Editing Another system uses a system in which individual media objects can occupy the same path as long as they do not overlap at the same time. This oriented track system is more suitable for editing and can store simpler project files. The system-oriented layers that Adobe After Effects has are suited for extensive video work effects and also key framing.

Other compositing packages, especially those that employ tree or workflow nodes, such as Nuke Software, and Eyeon Fusion, are better suited for managing larger volumes of objects in composites. Adobe After Effects is able to fight off problems somewhat with selective layers hiding or by grouping them into pre-composition. The main interface of Adobe After Effects consists of several panels. Three of the most commonly used panels are the Project Panels, Panel Compositions, and Timeline Panels. The project panel acts as a bin for still-important images, video or audio recording items. Recording files in the Project Panel are used in the Timeline Panel, where the ordering and timing layers can be customized according to the user. Item is visible on the time marker when it appears in the Composition Panel.

Adobe After Effects shares many of the same features as other Adobe programs, such as creating shapes, which are defined by the Bezier curve. Like Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator, After Effects can import and manipulate many image formats, filters, and customizations.

Adobe After Effects is integrated with other Adobe Software Programs such as Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe Encore and Adobe Flash. In addition, it works with third-party 3D programs such as Cinema 4D, Light wave 3D, and Autodesk 3D MAX.
