Basics

Adobe After Effects is the industry-leading animation and creative compositing software used by a wide variety of motion graphics and visual effects artists. It offers superior control, a wealth of creative options, and integration with other post-production applications.

And because After Effects is part of Creative Cloud, you get access to all the latest updates and future releases the moment they’re available. Learn more about Creative Cloud.

See the What’s New page for details.

Technical questions

See the system requirements for information.

With native 64-bit support, After Effects can take advantage of all the available RAM in your system. For multicore systems, Adobe recommends 4 GB or more of RAM per core; on any system, 16 GB of RAM is a good baseline if you plan to run multiple applications simultaneously. Visit the After Effects forums for more information.

No. Because the performance benefits of native 64-bit support make it the best choice for the demanding technical requirements of working with video, particularly HD and higher resolution content, offering only 64-bit support enables Adobe to optimize performance even further.

The lack of 32-bit support does not affect most of the Mac computers that use Intel processors. The only Mac users affected by the lack of 32-bit support are those using Intel based Mac computers with Intel Core Duo (single-core) processors. Refer to the After Effects system requirements to make sure that your computer meets the minimum requirements.

Any 64-bit plug-ins designed for After Effects work in After Effects. Any 32-bit plug-ins for After Effects need new versions designed for 64-bit computing. For a current list of plug-ins compatible with After Effects, visit the plug-ins page. For more information, contact the plug-in manufacturers.

See the system requirements for information.

Free trials

With a free Creative Cloud membership, you can download a 7-day trial version of After Effects — and other applications in Creative Cloud. When you upgrade to the All Apps plan, you’ll be able to download the full version of every Creative Cloud application.

If you were prompted to enter your payment details before downloading After Effects, the trial automatically converts to a paid plan after the trial period ends. Otherwise, you can purchase a plan directly from the Creative Cloud website.

Cross-product workflows

Yes. If you don't have After Effects installed, you see an error message saying, 'This Motion Graphics template was created in After Effects. To use this template in Premiere Pro, install After Effects (trial or license) and retry. Learn more at adobe.com/go/mgt.

Using After Effects created Motion Graphics templates in Premiere Pro
Using After Effects created Motion Graphics templates in Premiere Pro

To use Motion Graphics templates created in After Effects, you require a trial or licensed version of After Effects installed on your computer. If you are a Creative Cloud subscriber, you already have a license of After Effects. Download it from your Creative Cloud application. If you have a Single-App license of Premiere Pro, a paid license of After Effects is not required, you can install the trial version of After Effects. After your trial has expired, your After Effects Motion Graphics template still works as long as you leave the expired trial installed or install a paid version of After Effects.  Do not uninstall the expired trial. For more information, see Motion Graphics templates/Common Questions.

Purchasing Options

You can purchase the After Effects Single App or Creative Cloud All Apps plans. Learn more about purchasing options on the Creative Cloud plans page.
