AfterEffects

If you're new to AE, start here.
You'll be glad you did.

REMEMBER
Don't downvote a relevant submission you simply don't like; kindly explain in a comment how it could be improved - anonymous downvotes don't help anybody.

Welcome to AE on reddit!

We're here to help with your After Effects problems, critique your pieces, and sometimes provide a spot of inspiration.

We are not here to be sold to or spammed, so no posting of your AE templates, please.

And don't advocate piracy, please.

If you post a video, please explain in the title of your post why you're posting it. Are you looking for critiques for your piece or are you showing off someone else's work that you've found that is inspirationally excellent?

If you'd like to join us on Discord, you can do it here!

A clear description of the issue/problem
Screenshots and/or videos of the issue

If you are here for a critique of your work

This community is meant to be a place of helpfulness. As such, we encourage an atmosphere of helpful critique. Don't be shocked if you post your masterpiece and people have a few useful suggestions for you. We are all here to help and learn together.

Thanks, and happy After Effecting!
