About the video

Since 2003 Adobe Premiere Pro has been available to amateur and pro video editors and is purely a video editing software. Premiere pro has powerful tools to edit raw footage to create small or large video productions. If you simply want to focus on video edition and applying colour effects and simple transition effect, Adobe Premiere Pro is the program to use.
Adobe premiere revolves around a timeline paradigm where you layer and chop footage together with simple transition effects. Lots of video clips can be placed together on one or few layers, chopped up and moved around quite swiftly.
Adobe After Effects is used in post production, after the video footage has been produced and exported from the programs such as Adobe Premiere.
In the industry After Effects is used in the post-production process of filmmaking and television production and also in deign and social media. For those not familiar with After Affects it may help to imagine After Affects as a mix of Premiere and Photoshop.
