Adobe After Effects is a digital visual effects, motion graphics, and compositing software published by Adobe Inc. It solves the need for creating dynamic animations and cinematic visual effects in video production.

The software includes After Effects for 2D and 3D compositing, 3D animation tools for multidimensional scenes, Visual Effects for simulating natural phenomena and stylized effects, and Motion Graphics Templates for reusable animated designs. It supports integration with Maxon Cinema 4D Lite, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe Illustrator for extended workflows in animation and post-production.
