#After effects editing app 1080p#

absolute trash tier, because that's what you get when you take a program that only works on one core, then duplicate it to every core in an attempt to make it faster, while forgetting the UI shares a rendering core, so the UI now stutters and lags uncontrollably at anything above 2K footage (even phones these days can make 4K footage)TL DR- every version is worse, post 2013, minus a single version in late 2014/early 2015, where the devs implemented many performance hacks. it stores all previews uncompressed in RAM, so if you're editing 4k footage, 64 gigs of RAM will get you 2-5 seconds of playback at 10fps.

Now there are over 470 addons in this bloated mess, they hacked in multithreading, then removed it, then added it back worse 5 years later and acted like it was the first time, same with MP4 export, they advertise GPU usage, like it's special, but it has all of 5 effects that use the GPU.now, it can't even playback 1080p video reliably. it's like seeing an old friend with dementia. for the 'best value' offered (that same value used to be a perpetual license, which they revoked)Ĭons: this poor, poor thing. it's a shameless upsell, where the programs are now so expensive, it costs your team a month or more of profits every year. let's say you just need photo editing, video editing, and visual effects? that's 1300 a month. but to that I say, all their programs are 1000 yearly, as a bundle. they say 'we're just a small team, we can't refactor the codebase or make a new program' meanwhile their company is raking in 15 billion a year.

which is just as insulting, because if the moment I threaten to stop using it, they give me a better price, means they're intentionally price-gouging.

They raised prices on my 3 years in a row after going subscription, from 200 a month, to 400, and now 600 a month.

Overall: buggier every year, you are legally not allowed to use old versions, and having adobe threaten you with litigation for using a version you have a license for.
