Adobe After Effects CC vs ProtoPie

Ae is the de facto standard for motion graphic design.

Because of the popularity of Ae, there are a plethora of tutorials, presets, plug-ins, etc that can be used.

After Effects has extensive plug-in support. A broad range of third party plug-ins are available including solutions for particle systems, 3D environments and grading.

After Effects CC includes a Lite version of MAXON CINEMA 4D, a 3D modeling, animation and rendering application.

After grasping what panels do what, the workspace feels safe and comfortable. And the timeline moves and shows things how you would expect it to.

This program is made to interact very well with the other Adobe production apps like Premiere Pro, Soundbooth, Photoshop and others. You can dynamically link with a set list of Adobe software so when you update something in Ae it will update in other software accordingly.

Ensures you always have the latest version of the software. Allows saving preferences in the cloud, so you can load them on a different machine. You can even sync setting from a different user.

You constantly have the latest software that is updated regularly.

As the interface is very clean and simple, it enables you to create interactions by combining objects, triggers and responses just like that. No need for wireframing or shitty mockups, just get to hi-fi prototyping right away.

Deploy prototypes on any device right away. What's the point of prototyping mobile apps if you cannot deploy it on your mobile devices easily?

Create prototypes e.g. chat platforms, payment apps etc. and deploy them on multiple devices and have them communicate with each other.

Easily control the sensors of smart devices in your prototype, such as tilt, sound, compass, proximity sensor, vibration motor and 3D Touch sensors.

It offers the same features on both MacOS and Windows. Plus, you can switch machines as long as you are logged in to ProtoPie Studio.

Sharing is very easy via the cloud. Open the prototype in desktop or mobile browser, or deploy the prototype on the ProtoPie Player app. All is possible.

No coding needed to do interactions for your prototypes. You just choose the objects and link them with the triggers and responses you want to based on your preferred interactions.
