After Effects CS6 vs. CC

Post by Grirnm » Sun Jul 06, 2014 9:43 pm

I wanna start making AMV's again and I've kinda given up on Sony Vegas. One, because the preview lag is atrocious and two, because I use a Macbook so it's a hassle to go through a virtual machine to use SV. So now I'm gonna use Adobe After Effects to make them since from my understanding it's just as good, if not better, than SV but a ton more complicated and more work for certain things.

So yeah my main question is should I get CS6 or CC?

From reading about the updates in CC the one that popped out to me was the ability for a mask to follow the object so you don't have to mask frame-by-frame anymore. This would be a huge plus but I only found a video where someone masked a simple image and not a complex one like a person (or character in anime) so if it can follow an image like that I'd 100% go for CC right now but if it can't and there isn't another major plus that CC has I'll just go with CS6.

Thanks! :D

First off, editing capabilities in After Effects suck. You might want to consider a Premiere + After Effects combo.
As far as the differences go I can't give much feedback since I only used CS6 before.

kinda late. but i don't think you need another software to it. i'm fine with ae only for like 6 years now.
now for your question: after effects cc has all of the functions cs6 offers as far as i know. and more. the workflow is also better. i don't really remember it (currently at work) but there's some feature i really liked about cc (cc 2014 now). i'd definitely recommend getting that.

Well, they have to take out features on a new release. How else do you expect them to have features to include in future releases so it looks like they're actually developing shit?
