What’s New in After Effects? | Adobe Video x @filmriot

Adobe not improving the render engine, or rotobrush, or the color management... But, a counter preset, that feels so awesome guys... Keep charging monthly... You´re doing great.

[rw]

Me biting my tongue every time I see Adobe claim they are advancing. Since I’ve been paying 50 a month for years I would think this could have been done like 10 years ago.

[mosquedadavid]

How about a New Graph Editor, Lens flare (Current one is 30years old), effects on 3D layer without precomposing, live effects preview, smooth zooming in composition windows, editing of texture in 3d object, cache selected comps, i can go all day

[osstudios]

I pay Adobe every month to present what the Element 3D plugin did 10 years ago as an innovation today. There are so many useful features that could have been added, but instead they added a few sloppy presets. And yes, this is what 2025 After Effects is all about.

[filipebezerra]

Still using Element 3D to this day, thanks tho

[MertBert]

Glad to see Ryan getting some (hopefully) big bucks by showcasing for Adobe

[TeamA-fi]

maybe do some optimization with the software first and then add some features ?

[cinemacky]

Sooo... how about the dreaded render time and crash for using any one of these?

[MohimanulHowladar]

A huge update like the iPhone 15 to 16 😂

[jippalippa]

Finally a quick way to create counters!

[ronniee-san]

Still waiting for an update where After effects just does what it's intended to do without crashing.

[samimotion]

a good feature would be optimisation !

[nubnubbud]

It's great to see this guy again! too bad there's an adobe profile and ads in the top comment below the video. He deserves better, but hey, if adobe's willing to pay him more than their entire after effects team, good for him!

[MotionIsland]

Great video, I still don't like that Adobe is requiring us to install Bridge to preview presets, this is 2Gb hard drive used just to preview an animation lol.

[joachimart]

Love the latest release. I see people in the comments complaining about optimizations and that there's not enough features, always.... But the latest release with up to 4x improvements in UI and responsiveness is really welcoming and the main feature that I enjoy!

[ISRAADVISUALS]

NO AI rotoscoping? capcut does better job at cutting out a suject than AE roto lol

[namipictures]

We would like a feature so that people would pay us actual money to make them stuff in aftereffects. Can you ask them to add that in please?

[rocket]

3-D in after effects is a joke. Anybody who is serious about 3-D will be learning cinema 4D. Adobe is completely wasting their energy and their time diddling around with 3D… There’s so many more important things they could be giving us. All the stuff you can do in cavalry should automatically be an after effects. This after effects upgrade is a big yawn! Some of the new presets is good but most of it looks like it was a designed by someone who has no clue about aesthetics.

[cemgulpunk]

The only great new updates in this video are Bryan's fancy shirt and the great colors of the room. 😁

[Director_S]

As a user of After effects for over 10 years i love it After Effects is the best
