repeated info!!!
Competitors to After Effects include Discreet Combustion, Apple Shake, Cinelerra, Digital Fusion, Boris RED and Apple Motion.
...
It competes with such compositing platforms as Shake, Pinnacle Commotion, Combustion, Apple Motion, Inferno, Flame, and Boris FX.
As you know CS6 has version 11.0.3 and 11.0.4 and I would appreciate it if someone updated the article.-- Needforsuv ( talk) 06:43, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
Wikivid had been a long-time listing in the after effects external links, it serves as an unbiased index of free video tutorials. I recently re-added it only to see it quickly removed. To me this site is more in line with Wikipedia than say 6 separate creative cow links. Your thoughts?

I think the screenshot used in this entry should be the default gray, not this darker variant.
I have rewritten the paragraph on clutter in After Effects. After Effects does suffer from layer clutter, however a) the clutter doesn't have anything to do with the timeline but rather with the stacking of layers in the Composition Window and b) I think the article could do without the fish example--discussing what consitutes a 'typical animation' and how to achieve 'extremely realistic results' is beyond the scope of the article. AfterEffects suffers from clutter really because it is the only surviving compositing application not to use tree graphs--which is not necessarily a bad thing. ezgeez
I added some new sections so that the information is more easily accessible and ordered logically. There were a few instances of unabashed praise ('stunning', 'perfectly') particularly in reference to other software products. If these are important opinions and therefore worthy of inclusion I think they should be cited otherwise it reads like an advert. Al001 10:57, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
I would like to see a section that generally outlines what major improvements each release featured. See the entry for Quicktime to see what I mean. -- 24.249.108.133 03:09, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
What version introduced multi-processing -- v7 or CS3? -- 70.167.58.6 ( talk) 16:57, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
There are missed 2 major bundles of well-known plugins: Cycore Cult Effects (in which AE ver?) and CycoreFX LE (in CS3?)
I wanted to know if and were I should add a screen shot of After Effects running on Windows Vista. The article seems to just show MAC and no other OS Rgoodermote 22:10, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I just commented out the entire Review section of the article. Three of the 5 links were broken and the other two link to reviews of old After Effects versions (6.5 and 7). Hope thats ok with everyone. -- Splette :) How's my driving? 21:09, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
I've done some editing with Final Cut Pro, but it took me a minute to figure out that NLE meant "non-linear editor." "Track oriented" is also a confusing term. The term NLE should be written out before becoming an acronym, and both "non-linear editor" and "track oriented" should link to articles that describe what they are.
I came to this page because I was interested in finding out what After Effects is and what it does, but I still am confused. Can you edit a whole video in it start to finish? I always thought "After Effects" implied adding special effects or graphics, as opposed to a video editor. But now... I am not so sure! :)
Even to people who are familiar with other Adobe creative software, the description is inadequate.
The fourth sentence of the article reads, "Although other compositing packages--especially ones that employ tree or node workflows, such as Apple Shake--are better suited to manage large volumes of objects within a composite, After Effects is able to somewhat counter the clutter by selectively hiding layers (using the Shy switch) or by grouping them into precompositions."
I believe that "Apple Shake" is an even less familiar software than After Effects, which makes it a poor reference point. From my perspective I am more curious about how it differs from Final Cut or Premiere. I don't know what "tree or node workflows" are. In my head I might try to imagine what I think they are based on my previous software understanding, but if I had no concept of what a tree or a node might imply in regards to software, I probably wouldn't research those topics in order to decipher this article.
In summary, I am now headed to the Adobe website to read their description of the program. I initially came to Wikipedia for a more objective and thorough overview.

after effects is for creating motion graphics. picture a news program that starts out with an animated globe and then the logo comes flying in and then explodes in a flash of light - that's motion graphics. Premier is just an editing application for editing clips together. 67.180.178.60 ( talk) 04:13, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
Many thanks O Sturm —Preceding undated comment added 03:47, 3 July 2009 (UTC).
I distinctly remember v2.1 as being the first PowerPC native version of After Effects. Anyone have any info on it? -- 70.167.58.6 ( talk) 20:19, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
There is a new version of After Effects available for download. Launched this June 2014, I think. Part of the Creative Cloud Suite.

I am new to Wiki Editing so I apologize if I do this wrong. I would like to add to the list of sites to get these at. Links such as to Envato, Maxon and Video Copilot. With hyperlinks of course. Thanks. GKlimala ( talk) 00:45, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
