Adobe After Effects is used primarily for editing and creating moving or motion graphics and visual or visible effects. After Effects allows and helps users to animate, alter, and composite media in 2D and 3D space with various built-in tools and third party plug-ins, as well as individual attention to variables like parallax and user-adjustable angle of observation.
