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.

I have to open PDFs all day long at work to read our schematics. No I don't want an "AI assistant" or an "AI summary" on drawings of electrical wiring. And I need to close multiple menus to get rid of them, and the only option is "disable for this session", no way to permanently turn them off

I remember reading a story a while back about someone who owned a legit CS version with a proper serial and activation.

They had to change computer, and in doing so had to reactivate Photoshop, but it wasn't working. They contacted Adobe support and explained the situation but support basically told him nope, not a chance, we aren't helping you. You need to subscribe to new Photoshop.

So Adobe accepted that yes, he bought a perpetual licence for Photoshop and that yes, the reason it isn't working is the online activation, but they still refused to help.

Scumbags.
