What do you like best about Adobe Creative Cloud?

As everybody knows, Adobe Creative Cloud is a must have, the most basic requirement for any professional who deals with any creative material on a day to day basis - the creative cloud provides access to softwares for picture editing (Photoshop) to animation (after effects) to video to even web design.

Its a definitely must have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Creative Cloud?

Its a very very very expensive product which is often not affordable for a student or a fresh-out-of-college professional, which almost makes it counter-intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm a Visual Designer and a UCD specialist -it helps me on a day to day basis as literally the first software/platform I open as soon as I open up my Laptop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Adobe Creative Cloud?

The tools which are provided by adobe are excellent, and it was really fun while your working on those tools especially on the designing tools Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Creative Cloud?

The pricing is the main dislike. If you want to purchase Photoshop and Illustrator separately, then you can purchase the complete suite at that price.

For example, if photoshop is 2$, illustrator is 2$, and premier pro is 2$, then you will get the complete suite at 3.5$. If your planning to purchase the complete suite the it will work in you case if your planning to purchase individual the it will eat your money Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Adobe Creative Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

it completed depends on the usage; for design, I would like to use Photoshop, illustrator and for video editing, i would like to your premier pro and after effects. It really simplifies my design and even on premier pro, i would like to edit the video for my blogs easily Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Many aspects of the user interface haven't really changed for about 20 years, and are little tricky to use or require code – i.e. looping a nested timeline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Adobe After Effects?

I really appreciate the layer options and vast array of settings to which you can configure your project. I can have a multitude of layers and make sure I'm getting a hi-quality export at the end of the day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe After Effects?

The learning curve is simply too high. A lot of Adobe products are this way, and it's frustrating. You cannot operate this software without consulting a tutorial video in most cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Adobe After Effects solving and how is that benefiting you?

We often need to generate lower thirds for client videos, and also animate logos for their branding. It helps us make the videos look better, and also allows us to utilize a greater toolset to improve video quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Adobe After Effects?

The finest feature of Adobe After Effects, in my opinion, is its unrivalled capacity for producing jaw-dropping visual effects and animations. The programme offers a wide range of tools and functions that enable me to execute my creative ideas with accuracy and grace. After Effects enables the addition of motion graphics to films as well as the blending of layers and the use of complex special effects. Professionals in the animation and motion graphics fields frequently use this programme because of its nearly endless possibilities. What actually distinguishes After Effects is its capacity to produce compelling visual narratives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe After Effects?

The high learning curve in Adobe After Effects is what I find annoying. Although it is a very powerful programme, novices may find it rather intimidating. There are many features and choices to investigate on the intricate interface. To become skilled, a significant amount of time and work is required. The programme can also be resource-intensive, necessitating a powerful computer for efficient operation. Last but not least, some people may not like the subscription price plan because it might eventually get expensive. Despite these difficulties, After Effects can produce some stunning effects, so for those prepared to put in the time and effort, the learning curve is worthwhile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Adobe After Effects solving and how is that benefiting you?

For video pros like myself, Adobe After Effects has completely changed the game. The challenge of transforming regular film into amazing visual experiences is overcome. I can add spectacular visual effects, make fluid animations, and improve the overall quality of my films thanks to the software's extensive variety of tools and functions. Problem-solving is important, but so is fostering creativity. By enabling me to push the limits of what is feasible in video creation, After Effects helps me stand out in a crowded sector and produce fascinating content that engages and dazzles my audience.
