I. What is Ae?

Ae is the abbreviation of Adobe After Effects. It is an updated film production software provided by Adobe for 2D and 3D synthesis, animation production and visual effects. It is a software based on nonlinear editing and is suitable for organizations engaged in design and video special effects. Including TV stations, animation production companies, personal post-production studios and multimedia studios, etc. Adobe After Effects controls the synthesis of audio and video through “layers”. Each individual media object, such as video, audio, still image, etc., has its own independent track. When there are too many imported materials, After Effects can pass through Selectively hide layers or group them to manage tracks that are a bit cluttered. Many functions in After Effects are similar to other Adobe applications, such as creating circles, squares, and Bezier curves in Photoshop and Illustrator.

After Effects supports importing and processing a variety of audio, image, and video animation formats, such as AAC, MP3, WAV, PSD, JPG, PNG, AVI, MOV, etc. If you need to view more detailed descriptions of supported formats, you can visit the official support page: https://helpx.adobe.com/cn/after-effects/kb/supported-file-formats.html
