Adobe After Effects

Adobe After Effects is a digital visual effects, motion graphics, and compositing software used to create motion graphics, titles, and special effects for film, television, video games, and the web.

The minimum system requirements for Adobe After Effects include a 64-bit operating system (Windows or macOS), a multi-core processor, at least 16 GB of RAM, and a dedicated graphics card with at least 4 GB of VRAM.

You can import media into Adobe After Effects by going to File > Import > File or by using the Import button in the Project panel. You can also drag and drop files from your computer directly into the project panel.

A composition is a single movie or image, while a layer is an individual element within that composition. Layers can be moved, scaled, rotated, and transformed independently of each other.

To create a motion path, go to Layer > Motion Sketch or use the Pen tool to draw a shape that defines the path. You can then apply this path to an object by going to Layer > Transform > Follow Path.

The pre-compose feature allows you to create a new composition from selected layers, which can be useful for organizing complex projects and making it easier to animate specific elements independently.

To render a project, go to Composition > Add to Render Queue or press Ctrl+Shift+F12 (Windows) or Command+Shift+F12 (macOS). You can then specify the output format and settings for the rendered file.
