premiere pro vs after effects what is the real difference
but before we'll dive in i quickly want to mention that i'm currently doing a
free six part video series in combination with my
master class if you're interested you can sign up at
the link in the description totally for free
now let's get back to the video i know a lot of people are confused about adobe
after effects premiere pro and other video editing software today
we'll be focusing on the differences between
adobe premiere pro and adobe after effects adobe premiere pro is a video
editing software and adobe after effects isn't so a lot
of people think you could do an entire video edit in adobe after effects
and although that's true it's not ideal it will be a lot harder
to edit your entire video in after effects okay but then why would someone
use adobe after effects well to dive deeper into this let's take
a look at adobe premiere pro for a second
premiere pro is an nle that means non-linear editing and stands for the
modern day of video editing it's a method where you can
import your video audio imagery or assets
into a video editing tool like premiere pro davinci resolve final cut pro
and many many more but allowing you to edit everything without destroying the
original footage so it's non-destructive i mean when you
trim the end of your clip you can always bring it back
afterwards or when you apply effects you can immediately review them
you can also preview your video in real time in adobe after effects you can do
the exact same thing you can bring in your video files audio
files and your graphics yet it's not a video editor but with one
big difference in premiere pro you can put each
individual video clip next to each other and on top of that
you could maybe put a title below that you would put some audio on
top of that you would add some b-roll which is just different footage to make
your view a little bit more interesting but still you're not going to be
consuming all the video layers these editing tools are used by most
video creators to do basic video editing and adobe after effects it's more
described as a motion graphics visual effects and compositing software
well it's actually described like that so basically this means you can make
magic in adobe after effects after editing your video in premiere pro
after effects focuses on improving one video clip to the maximum potential it
has so let's say you have this drone shot
you have it in an edit in adobe premiere pro
but you want to add in a castle you want to add in an army and you want to make
it look like an epic medieval video footage
you couldn't do that in premiere pro but you can do it in adobe after effects or
let's say you want your own unique intro animation for your youtube videos you
could create your logo reveal in adobe after effects
then import it into each video of premiere pro and even make an essential
graphic from it so you can easily change some details like colors and text in
your final intro but the main animation has been done in adobe after effects
premiere pro is not meant for next level video editing
trying to do that in premiere pro is just not the way to go
but the conclusion of these two softwares is that it's actually really
interesting to know them both you want to do your entire video editing
whether that's a short film music video content creation documentary
well yeah you name it you get the id you'll want to do the entire edit in
premiere pro and then when it's final bring in the shots you want to enhance
with a certain effect then you'll right click on your view
clip and click replace with after effects composition that will import one
or multiple clips to adobe after effects where you can then
apply your effects and if you then go back to premiere pro
you will see that your effects are applied to it so these two software work
together simultaneously think of after effects as like a photoshop for video
because you also have these layers you stack up you cannot put clips after each
other you actually put them behind stepwise like you would see in this
example each clip has its own layer the effects
you can create in after effects are also infinitely larger as after effects has a
built-in 3d tracker or 2d tracker when you actually
want your title to actually be locked in your video for
example like it's actually there anyway we'll discuss all of this during
the next level editing course in more detail i'm just giving you the
bigger picture here green screen removal is another fun
topic a lot of people think you could do this in premiere pro
but it's not nearly as clean the keying tools in premiere pro for green screen
are just there to give you an option if there really is no other way but in
adobe after effects you can tweak your green screen
much more in detail and make sure it looks realistically integrated in your
scene in fact using basic editing tools like
premiere pro davinci resolve or final cut pro to edit
these softwares are meant for basic video editing and these softwares
do limit your creativity which means that if you only use these basic tools
your videos won't stand out definitely not like with more advanced editing
tools please don't limit yourself and your
creativity because it also limits your potential growth and overall
worth that brings me to adobe after effects
after effects is for me the most complete and versatile software for
visual effects motion graphics and the possibilities
are endless and especially if you're looking at smaller groups of people
or if you want to achieve more variation of results on your own
after effects really is a better option it seamlessly integrates with programs
like premiere pro cinema 4d which gives you the ultimate
freedom after effects is a tool you need if you want to become a video editing
expert and if learned the right way you won't
feel overwhelmed by all the options and possibilities it offers
if you learn after effects you won't be undervalued and your creativity won't be
limited in fact after effects is actually pretty
easy to learn when it's done the right way and trust
me i've been thinking about this is there a way i could help people
learn adobe after effects to unlock their full creativity
and most importantly increasing their overall worth without feeling
overwhelmed so for the ones that don't know me that
well my name is inyas aleya and i have helped
thousands of video creators drastically improve their video editing skills and
overall worth i'm a video editing expert i've worked
in hollywood feature films on multiple five figure projects and i
have over 340 000 video creators following me on youtube
for my knowledge about next level video editing
i give tutorials about advanced editing but i've never really
helped people to really learn after effects most of my tutorials start at a
higher level or just focuses on smaller parts of
adobe after effects but not the whole picture
if you're not experienced it won't be that easy to follow and a lot of people
have to rewind and watch a few times in order to
understand what i'm doing and to even follow even if you have
already some experience with basic editing tools like premiere davinci and
final cut you know these tools are still working
for some people and don't get me wrong they are the foundation of
every video but it has become less and less effective because most videos just
don't stand out most people think that editing software
like after effects are just too complex but the fact is that more and more video
creators start using next level editing tools like after effects
because they don't want their creativity to be limited and most importantly
they want to increase their skill set and overall worth just taking that extra
step and i don't want you to be left behind and trust me i have been there
i felt the pain that my work wasn't standing out that my work wasn't special
i've had unhappy clients but i was able to turn it around because of my skills
and i know a lot of people feel limited because of the lack of knowledge but
also because of the lack of guidance wasting their time because they just
don't know where to start i have certainly been there
i remember when i was first starting out i didn't know where to begin
i didn't even know which software i should be using to get the best results
so i was i kept searching what is the best software that i need to know and in
the end i found adobe after effects but then when i opened it i closed it
immediately again and i didn't look at it for another year
and that's actually a true story and when i eventually started with after
effects to increase my skill set i just felt so overwhelmed by all the
options out there i didn't even know what the endless possibilities
of the software actually were and that could actually have saved me a lot of
time the fact is that you don't have to feel
lost not knowing what to do or where to start and that's exactly why
i've created the next level editing method
to guide people step by step on how to become a video editing expert
to increase their skill set stop wasting their time and without
limiting their creativity and to increase their overall worth
imagine really imagine that you could create
anything you want faster more efficiently
imagine that you could solve any post-production problem there is
easily for any client that would certainly take away the stress
and avoid you to lose your most valuable asset and that's time
what if you could be an independent video editor that actually has
paying clients what would your life look like if you could
ask for money or even more money than you're asking now for your services
and think of everything else that would fall into place such as the freedom you
would have being able to create anything you want
anywhere in the world that's an absolute game changer
right that's actually the beauty of the digital age we live in
you're no longer bound anymore to the rules that applied in the past
and that's what i love most about being a digital creator i'm not limited to
clients in my area i can work from anywhere in the world whenever i want
that said i've also got some really exciting news for the ones of you that
are really serious about improving their skill set
