The overall experience is just amazing with Adobe After Effects. I use it to animate my logos and text for my Intro videos which I post on my social media platform. This software increases my productivity.
Pros
The friendly user interface is best in Adobe After Effects. It's very easy to import different formats and start a new project. I use to add animation to my logos and text. Easy drag and drop of png files is the best option. It saves me a lot of time.
Cons
There is nothing to dislike about Adobe After Effects. The software is loaded with a variety of options and features for editing and new composition.

I have been working for many people and companies
I have created 3D visualizations and then finished editing them in after effects.
I have designed logos, motion graphics for some twitch players and some induviduals who advertise their products on social media platforms
Pros
I like the flexibility of this software that it allows you to animate videos and images, and lets you combine color grade and lets you add effects to simulate fire smoke and a lot more. it can work in a studio for manipulating videos.
Cons
The loading time sometimes is the worst when you want to get started on a project right away
I haven't been able to import HVEC and HEIC formats onto the software.

Heavy software, can be difficult to learn
Reviewed on 13/2/2022
Pros
There are lots of features and you can install plugins to make your workflow faster and easier and further expand the functionality and features.
Cons
The features can also be a con, it can take a long time for a new user to get used to the interface, it's an overload and we end up trimming the interface down so there is not too much going on.
After Effects can be really heavy on your computer and is prone to crashing.
It's part of Adobe, which has some of the worst customer support in existence.

Whatever idea/concept you have - you can make it on this software
Reviewed on 20/9/2022
Pros
Likely the best editing software for amateur-professional video editors. It's so in-depth that I am still CONSTANTLY learning new things/features on this software and I use it almost daily. You can use it with other editing softwares as well.
Cons
It's a little hard to learn. The learning curve is steep, but once you learn the basics, it's pretty simple to catch on to new things.

Adobe After Effects for Graphic Designers (who also animate)
Reviewed on 8/11/2022
Pros
It's very well made for animations and video editing. Everything has its place and you can switch back and forth between various stages of animation / video making. You can adjust visuals, make effect, animations and also add fonts and edit sounds. Dream.
Cons
The timeline is sometimes little bit chaotic but I understand it's hard to improve that, because you need the complexity for bigger projects.
