Over the past 10 years animation has changed dramatically. However, the very foundation of how After Effects works has remained mostly unchanged. People all over the world are stretching the limits of the program to create next-level animations.
I spend countless hours in After Effects, solving complicated Visual Effects problems and creating 2D animations. Traveling over the world—collaborating with some of the best artists—I’ve started to observe and listen how other people work—and like to work.
These suggestions are meant to spur a public discussion that can lead to solutions that will benefit all current and future animators. I hope these ideas can then in turn inform the After Effects team on how we work and what steps to take next—making After Effects an even better tool than it already is today.
