History of After Effects

The Company of Science and Art was the maker of the first version of Aftereffect software. The company built the initial version of the software, version 1.0, and later version 1.1, and then transferred ownership of the software to Aldus in July 1993.
In 1994, the company was transferred to Adobe with pageMaker software. After that, Adobe released its first version of Adobe After Effects, version 3 of this software.

Differences between CC and CS versions of After Effects

Once we understand what Aftereffect is, we need to know the difference between the two versions. It is understood that all software produced by Adobe is in development and new versions offer better and more complete features and features to users than older versions. The latest version of all Adobe software is the CC version, which replaces the CS version.
The CC version of After Effects has more features than the CS version. Features such as Face Tracker and Adobe Character. These features have been noticed by users.
Cloud system has been added in the CC version. In the CS version, users were able to use the software indefinitely after purchasing the software, but in the CC version, users have to pay $ 50 per month for each subscription. (Of course, in my country, Iran, for various reasons, this is not possible!)

However, Aftereffect software has a large audience in Iran and this software is one of the most popular software for editing and making videos, movies and animations. Also, many classes and educational courses are held in Iran for After Effects education. Students learn to work with this software professionally by participating in aftereffects training classes.
