Is it still worth it to learn After Effects in 2022?

You may wonder.

The answer is simple - YES.

Why is that?

Because special effects are still new. Not for us filmmakers, but for the audience, hence our customers. They are still wowed by them.

You make a clean transition between shots. Their reaction - "Wow, what kinda magic is that? 🤯"

You animate a logo. They: "How did you do that? It's wonderful 😍"

So WHEN should you learn After Effects? 🤔

There is no ‘bad’ time to learn After Effects. 😎

It primarily depends on your willingness to learn and ability to spend some time experimenting.

Ideally, before starting to learn AE, you’ll have some basic knowledge on filmmaking and editing - like what are cuts, frame rates, motion blur and how to put together even a simple clip - all of this you can learn quite well within a few days.

Other than that - you can pick up AE at any point of your career.

It will be great at the beginning of your filmmaking adventure as you’ll be able to keep in mind things you (or someone) will be able to fix in post production.

Or new things to offer to your client, even if you can’t do them yourself, yet. You can simply know what you can outsource.

It’s also a fantastic tool to learn as an experienced filmmaker to broaden your offer.

And since you already know how to create videos, you now have all the time to focus on the creative side of things and not let the technicalities get in your way.

Because of your experience, you’ll also know about common issues that you’ll be able to decide to either leave in the original shot and remove in post or simply remove them from the shot, if they’d take too long to fix.

To sum up - if you’re either a new filmmaker or experienced veteran, After Effects is a great addition to your filmmaking arsenal that should not be overlooked. 😁
