Adobe After Effects is a digital visual effect, motion graphics, and compositing application developed by Adobe Systems and used in the post-production process of film production and television production. Among other things, After Effects can be used for typing, tracking, merging, and animation. It also serves as a very basic non-linear editor, audio editor and media transcoder.

Plug-in
After Effects has extensive plug-in support; available many third-party plug-ins. Various styles of plug-ins exist, such as particle systems for realistic effects for rain, snow, fire, etc.
With or without third-party plug-ins, After Effects can create 3D effects. Some 3D plug-ins use the basic 2D layer of After Effects.
In addition to 3D effects, there are plug-ins to create video views such as movies or cartoons; simulation of fire, smoke, or water; particle systems; slow motion; create animated graphs, graphics, and other data visualizations; count 3D camera movements in 2D video shots; eliminating flicker, noise, or line rigging; translate timelines from FCP or Avid; adding high-end color correction; and improved workflow and other visual effects.
