Thanks but check the description

[@AutodidactAnimotions]

I used After effect for several years and after a brief foray with Natron ( a free Nuke knock off), I moved to Davinci fusion. Trust me ...once you get over 6 or 7 layers, and have to start precomping ,Adobe After effects becomes a compositing nightmare because it is still ,at its core, a linear workflow . Unlike Nuke, Natron or fusion which are completely node based allowing you to jump to any point in the node tree history and change ,remove or add an effect in a nonlinear fashion.

[@NUCLEARARMAMENT]

Don't forget real-time 3D compositing engines like Reality Engine, Ventuz, Notch, as well as more offline but still fast 3D compositing tools like Autodesk Flame/Inferno (my personal favorite), which is faster than Fusion, and a lot faster than Nuke IMHO. TouchDesigner as a FOSS 2D compositing engine is also not that bad, I think it competes with AE at least.

Nuke and davinci, which one is better?

[@ashdalat.]

Thank you guys for explaining 😊 I will check it out

[@CompositingAcademy]

Nuke has a non commercial version as well that is free.

[@ashdalat.]

I take 2 nuke courses from cgfasttrack with nuke-free, but when I hit a wall I tried to search on google but feel like no one talked about it, tried to change the hotkey but was unable to change it, and tried to install scripts but was no tutorial at all ((⚆·̫⚆‧̣̥̇ )).

After Effects is the best choice for media and 2D animations Nuke is so powerful tool for compositing. they are different in core and aspect, they can NOT be put to comparison .

[@MoleculeXmolecule]

Finally, somebody with a brain in the comments. I hadn't realized people were out there trying to compare what surmounts to a spoon vs fork.

[@tomsquad1979]

What do you know?

[@doddeddo-5866]

After effects adobe team needs to STOP everything they’re working on and focus on speed and performance, period. They leave us no choice but to switch to other programs, I wouldn’t dare to do a compositing project on AE anymore, clients don’t care about excuses.

[@valerakarpenko8079]

yep, next month planning move to nuke, I am done with performance issues with AE, 2 years of freezing prewiev at start, also tha same for all my colleagues.

[@rillaaa5740]

This is my biggest issue no matter how powerful your setup is it's never enough for after effect there's always some sort of lag

[@BoRisMc]

That’s like comparing an ARRI Alexa vs an Iphone lol

[@leoeditor]

The softs are for different purposes.

[@HTCBadrecon]

I don't think you can compare these two tools. Nuke is much more efficiant in things like 3D Tracking, working with AOVs, Shuffle Channels. I even don't know if it is possible in AE or Fusion. But I would never start with motiongraphics in Nuke, so I think AE is the better tool for Motiongraphics. But for a efficiant workflow with Colorspaces/managments, Nuke will always be the choice. But to compare these tools in price, I would recommend to learn fusion for every videographer out there.

[@disasterxdeath]

I use both for good usage. It’s great

Show me something one cant do that the other can for free and youll have a winner. Movies and vfx have been done for years without Nuke or Ae so to those saying one comps better is bs how many nodes or layers does one need for an explosion lets be real your really just doing one effect at a time, anything else is hate or fanboyism

[@akyhne]

That's because you don't know or understand advanced VFX.

Nuke is OBVIOUSLY Superior to trash After Effects!

[@NUCLEARARMAMENT]

@@elizalkin The Keen Tools plugins FaceTracker & GeoTracker isn't available in AE. I also use Flame as it's faster than Nuke, but just as capable. It took Adobe 20 years to add 3D compositing to AE, which is honestly just sad when Nuke has been around since, what, the '90s, and Flame has been around since 1992 when OpenGL 1.0 was released on SGI workstations where it was first used on films like Jurassic Park, Forrest Gump, Apollo 13, etc.

[@franbelda1951]

Absolutley, 100%. No one in the VFX uses AE for comping.

[@videostarts]

yes

[@418jh]

no, not really most people i know use after effects and come up with results at least as good as nuke. Anyone who tells you otherwise must just not be experienced enough in terms of vfx. They're both the same really, it's just that one has 10 times slower renders and uses layers while the other is a faster and uses nodes. There's nothing else besides that.

[@fabienl4979]

if you want to wokr in the industry of VFX like movies, high end video ads, Nuke is clearly better for compositing and VFX. But at the end if you can use both is even better. You will use multiple tools, particles, simulations, 3d... vfx is really vaste. Anyone who claims they're both the same and you can do the same or best with after effects clearly aren't working in big or embitious projects. You can do cool stuff with AE but you can't compete with at a certain level.

[@akyhne]

​@@418jh"Every people" aren't professional VFX artists or composers. AE is for most pro work nothing but a toy. Any pro who works in the pro industry would tell you the same.

Fusion is the future. 10-20 years from now it will be the world standard.

[@akyhne]

For that to happen, Blackmagic need to put their focus away from making DaVinci Resolve the next TikTok app and focus a lot more on the professional market. Fusion rarely get any big updates.
