I just realized i went from third person to first person again. I'm stupid omg Oh, I DECIDED TO ACTUALLY START AE! I figured if I actually want to be a multimedia developer, i have to put in the effort. Everyday, I make sure I stare at the screen and cry for an hour!
AE has the reputation among the anime community as being the ultimate program, however personally it doesn't impress me. A program by itself does nothing and impresses no one, it's how you use it that does. The style everyone uses is obnoxious and meaningless as well as being unoriginal.
It's easy to create incredible designs with Photoshop, Sony Vegas, Final Cut Pro or After Effects. I've noticed lately that simplicity speaks more than effects with marketing and designs, and I am not even sure if After Effects is the most popular program being used on the multimedia scene. I know that some producers actually even use FCP X for creating full movies that are shown in theatres.
Idk it's just my own opinion that After Effects is overrated and a lot of other programs are looked down upon when they are all equal.
I've noticed the problem now is that people use After Effects for full projects and edit solely in it, which is actually incredibly difficult and inefficient. AE is best for additional material, little tricks and effects and typography hence its name... after effects. It was never designed for editing full projects. It's a touch-up program.
