Adobe After Effects CC vs HotGloo

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.

You constantly have the latest software that is updated regularly.
