A lot of post houses use After Effects, especially for quick turn-around VFX (television), HUD design, and on-screen motion graphics. FX Guide published an article on some of the studios that contributed to the Avengers movies (a while back). A few of them used After Effects as their primary tool.

Here are some of the studios that (mostly) used Ae.

Hey, Stacey. It depends… what’s your budget and what do you want to do?

Hey, Winston. Good luck! I hope the BMD system works out for you and your students! 😃

I’m sorry to hear that! Maybe export to Prores422 and encode with another application? I use Davinci Resolve when I have issues with AME.

Hey, Winston. I don’t know of any in-person camera classes in your area, but the Blackmagic camera systems are straightforward to learn. I’ve seen experienced videographers become competent with BMD cameras in about an hour. The menu system is so dead simple and intuitive – it takes about ten minutes for most people to understand. If you can, I recommend renting the BMPCC4k for a weekend and watching something like Frame Voyager’s complete video manual.
If you’re looking for certification, I believe LinkedIn Learning also has a course on BMD cameras.

Hi, Göknur. Apologies, I should have been more clear. You have to send your project to Adobe Media Encoder to get h.264 encoding options. 🙂

I think it depends on what you want to do in 3D. Adobe heavily promotes Dimension, Stager, Painter/Designer, and Sampler for product visualization, print, and AR. They also include C4D Lite with After Effects for 3D-centric motion graphics work. For more advanced 3D motion workflows, Adobe also promotes Maxon’s integration toolset (Cineware), which works as a bridge between Cinema 4D, After Effects, and Illustrator.

Have you tried outputting to h.264? I don’t know what your material looks like or how high the quality needs to be – but I’ve found that 3-6 Mbps gives me small file sizes with reasonable quality. On the rare occasion that I need higher quality, 8-12 Mbps usually does the trick.

Wow, that’s a blast from the past! AFAIK the newest version of Nvidia’s Quadro 5xxxx card is the Quadro RTX 5000. However, I’m not an expert on Nvidia’s product lines, so (hopefully) someone will correct me if I’m wrong.
