Adobe Premiere vs. After Effects

[kydo76]

i'm sorry if this is a really simple question, but ..... what's the difference? They both make videos ... but are they for specific types of videos? Thanx

Premiere is designed for editing raw footage into a timeline format, while After Effects is primarily used for providing visual effects and manipulation.

Premiere = compilation, construction and editing
After Effects = manipulation and fancy visual effects

Perfectly put Willy_ph...

I have no idea if you can actually make a video with After Effects. You probably could, but it's alot easier in Premiere, as it was designed specifically for that particular application.

thanx for the answer.. : ) but i've been playing around with both.... but it seems like it's actually a lot easier to make a movie with after effects... maybe it's just my inexperience.. hehe... or maybe it's cuz premiere doesn't have the effects that i want

basically... i don't like how you can only fade in and out on one video timeline but can't do it on any other video timeline... also.. i like the way after effects show you the preview without actually having to render (?) the video first.. which takes a long time.. hehe

Interesting... It's always good to find an answer, but it's not usually helpful if you don't know what problem the answer solves... or something.
