It is important for video editors to become better so that they can produce amazing content for clients. If you are a video editor that doesn't use After Effects, it can be easy to dismiss the program as something that is too difficult and time-consuming to learn. Learning Adobe After Effects doesn't have to be as intimidating as it seems. Sure, there are a lot of effects and tools to learn but the basics are easy to pick up and you can be doing some cool stuff in no time.
The ability to create motion graphic title sequences, lower thirds, and logos in After Effects is a skill that is highly sought after in the video editing world.
