    Not exactly. After effects is a compositing software, using it as a normal video editor would be possible I guess but totally insane lol

      Fair lol. I’m pretty sure it doesn’t have the capabilities to make 3D models though.

        Yeah I use nuke so I’m not sure but I think it can work with simple 3d objects but doesn’t have any good modelling tools to create them.

      I use OBS for screen/game recording because it doesn’t add a stupid watermark and is free. I’m aware that’s not the main purpose of the program and I don’t stream. But other screen recording programs are bloatware-ridden, non-functional crap.

      So maybe After Effect is just good at it’s side hustle.

        Idk if you have after effects, chances are you got it through adobe creative cloud and you also got premiere pro which is miles better for video editing. Video editing is possible I guess but imo it would be like using excel to write a whole essay. Like the workflow is just not set up for doing normal video editing in there so it would be really fiddly and annoying.
