Consider X's current audience and you'll have your answer

What would be a good alternative to Adobe After Effects ? Something that works in the same way.

I only used kdenlive an open source Video editor, I do not know how similar it is to AE though. With kdenlive I can …

  • cut and arange video snippets in a timeline
  • apply effects like transform/lens (many more) to video
  • I can apply simple audio effects with the pitch effect, or generate white noise. Slow down Video
  • they have AI-effects and audio editing in their roadmap

Sounds similar to AE from what I read on its wiki entry

Thanks for sharing, This might be good enough in the future looking at the roadmap.

That is a video editor much like Adobe Premier or Final Cut Pro, so would not be a replacement for AE. After Effects is essentially Photoshop but with motion and animation. It's mostly for VFX and Motion Graphics. Not video editing or audio.

I use Blender for that, too. Anything I don't do in Blender I probably do in emacs...

I use Blender for video editing, and as long as I never use another video editing package, I am sure to remain perfectly happy with Blender.
